MYSA Lunachicks Soccer

Hopefully everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoyed their vacations! I appreciate everyone taking the time to read yet another epic Coach Mike email during this busy time and getting back to us over the holiday weekend.

With the agreement of all 14 Lunachick families, the Lunachicks will be moving up to Classic this Spring. I’ve informed the league of the team’s decision and am processing the necessary paperwork to make it official. Congratulations ladies! We’ll now be known as the ’96 MYSA Lunachicks G

I’ll send more administrative details later this month as there is some paperwork we’ll need from each family.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season! As I noted before – official practices won’t begin until sometime in January, but we may have a few informal pickup matches before then if the girls are getting stir crazy, especially after Christmas.

GO LUNACHICKS!

UPDATE: It’s official – Here’s our team page on the NCYSA Classic Website.

The Lunachicks headed to Charlotte, North Carolina this past weekend to play in the CUFC United Cup. This was a somewhat unique experience for the team, as they play at the ‘Challenge’ level normally, but were slated to play at the ’2nd Division Classic’ level in this tournament. We had asked to face stronger teams to see how the team stacked up against teams that normally played at a higher level. In the end we were not disappointed. We were placed in the Premier division and our bracket consisted of a number of strong 2nd division teams. To keep the girls from getting too nervous, we didn’t tell them exactly who they would be playing at first, just that they would be strong teams. Coach Mike was extremely nervous that week, hoping upon hope that they would do alright and not make this a wasted trip as it was also the first big overnight tournament for the team.
