Excellent Scrimmage!

Great job today team!  I was very impressed today with improvements we've made since the tournament.  We showed improved spacing, improved vision and passing, and great teamwork.  Best of all everyone looked like they were having fun!  See you on Thursday.

Our scrimmage tomorrow (Tuesday Aug 31), starts at 6:00.  Please try to be there by 5:30 to warm-up.  I know that is a little early for some, if you are going to be late please let me know.  Wear your RED jersey and bring your white just in case.

See you tomorrow!

Saturday Canceled and Tuesday Scrimmage

There will be no practice on Saturday.  Attendance on Saturdays has been very poor so I'm not going to force the issue.  But, everyone please plan to be to Tuesday's practice.  We will be having a scrimmage with the Razzia U14 girls team.  Kennedy @ 6:00 pm.  I'll find out what color to wear and let you know.

Practice Time & Location Change

Practice on Thursday (8/26) will be at Kennedy at 6:00 pm.  Please note that it is at KENNEDY not Bennion.  The league has asked for help painting the Kennedy field so some parents are going to help while we have practice.  That's why we changed location.

No Semi-Final game

Just a quick update ... Fusion 99 shut-out USA so they will finish with 21 points, HC Storm finished with 21, and we finished with 19.  So unfortunately, with 2 quality wins, we still don't make the semi final game.  I'm still really proud of our team and I think we played really well.  We'll see you all on Tuesday!

Tough Loss

Hey team ... great effort today.  I know everyone played hard and did your best.  I'm proud of the way you played in our first tournament ever!  Good work and keep your chins up.  Let's take everything we learned from this experience and make ourselves that much better for the upcoming season.  See you all at practice on Tuesday!

Another Great Game!

Another great tournament win.  Great play and teamwork from everyone!  Bryan's spinning left foot chip over the keeper was priceless!!  Now let's just hope the storm rains itself out before 5:30.  GO FALCONS!
