3/26 practice will be on the back field

parents and players,

One of the other LFC teams will be holding a scrimmage on the front field on March 26 so we will practice on the back field.

Thanks,

Red Stick follow up notes

By now, I think everyone has received the info about BRSA not rescheduling the remainder of the Red Stick tournament. This is a real bummer because the girls were playing so well. They were rested and ready for another day and progressing to the finals. I had a good feeling about it.

The scores were 6-2 and 9-0. Impressive! Keep up the good work and let's get ready for the Crossroads tournament!

Go Galaxy!

info on 3/18/09 - Thursdays practice

I did not hear from everyone but here is the plan for Thursdays practice. There are an unusual number of conflicts so having a practice does not seem practical. What I can do is meet with those players who want to work on individual skills and positions at the practice field at COMEAUX HIGH SCHOOL from 7-8 p.m. for a session. We will work on striking the ball, defensive positioning and discuss how the different positions play on the field.

If you are planning to come, please let me know via e-mail. If I don't hear from anyone I won't show up but if even one player would like to work on anything, I will be there to work with them.

Thanks,

Rich

3-16 practice is cancelled

Well, Mother Nature has not cooperated so we will not have practice today. Please be at Top Shelf tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. I have a couple of items to discuss with the players and I would like them to get some drills in before we start scrimmaging. We have to be off the court by 7:50.

Thanks,

Rich

Red Stick Tournament notes

Parents and players,

All information for the tournament can be accessed by clicking on the links below.

Please wear blue uniforms for our first game. Make sure to bring your white jersey in case we need to change. When we are listed first we are the home team and would change in case of a conflict.

Click here for the schedule. Be at the fields 45 minutes before each game for warm up and instruction.

Click here for field layouts (look on the bottom right of the page). Probably the easiest way to get to the fields is to take I-10 and get off on the Bluebonnet exit. Take it all the way down to Burbank (several miles) and make a left at the light. The fields will be a little ways down on the right side of the road. Enter at the first entrance and all of our games will be played on fields 1-3 which are the very first fields when you enter the park. Tournament rules can also be found by clicking on the link for field layouts.

Hotel info is posted on our blog under Important Information. Just click on the 2009 Spring Hotel List link. Finally, here is the link to our Baton Rouge Hotel.

GO GALAXY!!

Hub City Tournament notes

Parents,

We only had 6 players at practice tonight. Some let me know they couldn't make it but I did not hear from the majority. I know there are always conflicts but do the best you can to get there even if it is just part of practice. The practice before the tournament is the most critical for tournament prep.

As for the tournament this weekend, please be there at 7:30 a.m. Wear the blue uniform. All other info is posted in past blog posts so check for it there.

Congratulations Tabasco Shoot Out Champions

Players and Parents,

I just wanted to say how proud I am of the players and their efforts. They did a great job for their first tournament. Warren reminded me that the Global Racers were the U13 State Finalists last year. They were an excellent team and a lot of fun to play. Hopefully we can scrimmage them again in the next few weeks.

There are only four teams in our Hub City Tournament this weekend but they will be tough. Click on the link to get to the tournament page.

Also, we received notification that we have been accepted for the Baton Rouge Tournament. There are 12 teams in our age group so it is shaping up to be a great tournament. They should have the schedule out soon.

Finally, please be at Top Shelf tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. so we can have a short players meeting to discuss a few items from the tournament. We will end practice at 7:50 p.m.

Thanks for all the support and as always, call me with any concerns.

Rich
