10/10 @ 10:30 am @ pepperplex in New Iberia

Enough 10's for you? Please put this on your calendar. This will be a full blown scrimmage with Refs and everything. If you can't make it, please let me know soon.

I am also attempting to line up at least one scrimmage before the tournament. If you have any teams you think might be willing to play us, let me know.

Thanks,

Rich

8/20 PRACTICE IS CANCELED

It seems I have already written this too much but TODAY'S PRACTICE IS CANCELED due to weather. Players please, please juggle while watching TV and think "deeply" about the videos posted on the blog site.

Unless we have more rain, I will see all of you on Monday for our regular practice.

Rich

p.s. Thanks for all the "weather watchers" who called me. I never know how it is looking since I work out of town.

Lake Charles Tournament is Canceled

Unfortunately the Lake Charles tournament has been canceled due to low registration numbers. I have scheduled a scrimmage on October 10 in New Iberia with the U14g Blaze from New Iberia. We will probably play around 10 am but I will confirm and let you know as it gets closer.

Let's hope for some decent weather so we can practice tonight!

Topic of the week - POSSESSION PASSING

This will be the first installment of many. I want all the players to watch these short videos and think about what they see. As we practice, we will incorporate these things. More importantly, I want the players to talk to each other about what they saw and how they think it will work in a game situation. The first one is about Possession Passing. Take a look..................

8/13 practice location

Hi everyone,

Sorry I am so late getting this posted. Our practice location for Thursday 8/13 will be St. Thomas More High School. Pull in to the large parking lot like you are going to the football stadium and you will see us there. 6:30-8:00pm.

Please make sure to bring any missing paperwork and make your payments to Samoa.

Thanks,

Rich

New info on team calendar

Parents and Players,

Practice times and dates along with the tournament schedule has been posted on the blog. A couple of reminders:

• I will verify the practice location by Tuesday night or Wednesday morning and update the calendar. You can check it then.
• If you have not turned in all of the required information forms you must do it by this Thursday at practice. This includes the $145 payment ($75 club fee and $70 player fee).
• Please make sure that players bring enough water or sports drinks for the practice. They need to stay hydrated and most are probably out of shape so practice will be hard.
• I encourage parents to come to this practice and meet Scott Yerby.
• Remember to sign up for at least one volunteer duty and contact Samoa with any uniform or related questions.

I will begin scheduling our friendlies. We will do most if not all of them on Saturdays. I have already spoken to the coach of the NELSA Bombers and we are going to try and do a friendly somewhere in the middle maybe with a couple of other teams. We may also travel to other locations as well as have home based friendlies. I think that is it for now but contact me with any questions you may have.

Thanks,

Rich
