All,
Remind your soccer player to wear her new headband tomorrow so that we can “BAND TOGETHER TO WIN” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMsIrKjSM6Y
Game
Saturday 10/22 game time 11:00 please arrive by 10:15, United 5 11v 11 field, wear BLACK (bring white) vs LCSC Meteors (3rd place)
West Bennet Park, 10446 Merrill Road, Hamburg 48189 (it is at least a 46 minute drive from Bloomfield Hills so please plan accordingly)
If we win we would play again at 3:00 same location.
Let’s also try to have the parents wear black or purple to the game on Saturday to support the girls.
Thank you for all you do for your daughters!!!
Reasons to pack a lunch Saturday even though we are 1-7
1) This team gets on pretty well for a group of 6th grade girls. This even though some of the girls -- like their parents -- have what is called delightfully "strong" personalities. While one (well, me) might be tempted to scream and yell and push them to start warming up when they hit the field it is still a pure parental joy to watch them greet each other, laugh, and joke around before each practice and game.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HId2jQBEbYY Teams who function as a team win eventually, particularly in playoff type situations. In that, this group has had a very successful fall.Those moments will last a lifetime for the girls -- and parents.
2) The girls are playing the 3rd place LSC Meteors. They lost 5-2 in the first match up but keep in mind that was after their first game of the league season where they had a demoralizing 2-1 loss to the Novi Jags Green (Jags apparently guaranteed one referee goal a game -- not in the official league rules, but..). Novi Green went on to finish in first place at 7-1. We could have won that first game and had a very different season. The girls, I think, are still recovering from being intimidated physically that afternoon. They are getting over it though.The afternoon sun and heat in the second game against the Meteors was oppressive. The Subway sandwiches are kids got for lunch weren't very good. They were playing in their first game that day and scored 2 quick goals. The Meteors are well organized and well coached offensively but not particularly athletic and not particularly physical. Our girls were as sluggish, particularly on defense, as they have ever been. Won't happen twice that way.
3) Christina and Rhea worked extremely well together against the Meteors in that first game, even when we were down 3 or 4 goals. Both frontrunners seem to be peaking offensively right now. Sawyer, of course, only needs one decent shot on goal to make a difference.
4) Our goals allowed doesn't suggest as much, but on any given day, particularly when Zoe gets a few shifts back there, our defensive backline is as organized, disciplined, and efficient as all world team manager Alice running a Force outing. Zoe, I am sure, will be thrilled to hear this assessment.
5) Historically speaking: Keep it close and Kate will win you a game, either in tight situations or shoot-outs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYbouq24Eg4
Other intangibles in our favor:
6) Coach Cookie's hat.
7) The refs most hostile to a team from "Bloomfield" will be passing up the 35/hour payday to Occupy Wall Street.
8) Having lied around all week being fed grapes by servants filthy rich Bloomfield parents will be relaxed and enthused.
9) Speaking of grapes: Alice has prepared purple Halloween "grape" outfits for parents who will group together to form a Force bowl of fruit to cheer.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLj4YgDiRW4
10) Kathie and Tom have clear directions to Hamburg, Michigan.
11) Roger always has extra gloves, blanket, tents and stuff in the car for inclement weather.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U_xmfSwYSw
12) We have really cool headbands now!
13) To paraphrase Hoosiers, I want to win this one for all the affluent suburbs that struggle to maintain two midsized comprehensive high schools! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUadW2eWsKg
