Opening Day
We chose Hornets as our team name yesterday. The players have learned a little about the formation that we’ll use and look ready to play. I think they enjoyed the last drill that we did, which had them alternately attacking and defending the goal.
The forecast for 9am Saturday is 41 degrees with a NW wind of 10 mph producing a windchill 0f 35, so dress warmly–both players and fans. Bring water and a small snack to eat between games. Try to get to the field by 8:40 at the latest; I’ll be there at 8:30.
If you’re up early, watch English soccer on ESPN2 at 6:30.

Our first two matches are on Saturday, April 2. Yes, we play two matches on opening day. The first match, against Rock Island White, is at 9 am (be there at 8:30). We play again at 10:30, against Moline 3. Should be fun, the weather will be slightly warmer, and we’ll all get to play a lot of minutes.
Please vote for a team name on the tab “Vote for Team Name” before this Thusday’s practice.
Review the videos when you have time. They are short and have some good information. Watch the video on passing to see a team of young players move the ball up the field to score.
