Looking To Spring 2009
Coach Mike | December 19, 2008Hopefully everyone is enjoying the hustle and bustle before the holidays! We’re hard at work on our Spring schedule and will have some updates on that soon. Since our playing season will begin February 7th, we’re going to be starting practice a bit earlier than normal. Starting the week of January 5th, our practice schedule for January will be as follows:
- Mondays 6:30-8 Field MSC-4D
- Thursdays 6:30-8 Field MSC-4D
- Saturdays 10:30-12 Field MSC-4D
We understand many of the girls have winter sports/activities like basketball and absolutely expect them to make those their top priority early in our season. Just try to make all the practices you can without impacting your winter activity.
Our season will get underway at the FVAA Presidential Classic February 7th and 8th in Fuquay-Varina/Raleigh. Then it looks like we’ll start our regular season play February 14th, though that is still being worked out. We should have our official schedule after January 10th.
The coaching staff are also working on filling in our season with other activities. Some possibilities include:
- Some friendlies in January and possibly in April if we have dates available.
- Beat The Heat Tournament – April 25/26 in Winston-Salem
- Seaside Classic Tournament – May 16/17 in Wilmington – BEACH TRIP!
- One or two girls clinics. The first was a huge success, and we’d like to try and hold one or two of these clinics again, maybe in combination with a friendly match or something. Still working on this.
- I think we need to take the girls to play paintball. If your insurance is paid up! But in all seriousness, it might be neat to do a fun non-soccer activity as a team sometime this season
- End of season pool party
We’re always open for suggestions! Again, the above are just ideas at this point. We may only do one of the post season tournaments or we may do both. Depends on what you all are up for.
That’s it for now.
GO LUNACHICKS!
