let's go! team
Are you ready to get better? Boys: Come to practice. If you want an A and a B team, show that you want to be on the 'A' team by being at practice. Girls, you've tasted what playing better feels like. Come to practice, and let's get better, together.
All: I appreciate that you have stuff going on. The request is two times per week. If you've been missing, a new week starts monday. Attendance is something for you: We get better, and you get better. I'm never mad if you can't come. I'm happy when you can. And we get better when you do.
Go Storm
Great Job, yeah
Great Job team!
Monday, we're going to work on the lessons of the weekend.
-what do I need to do as an individual to improve?
-what am I good at: and how can I maximize this to help the team?
-what did we do as a team, 'that is good' and HOW can we get better at it
-what did we do as a team, 'that we can improve on', and how can we improve on that.
Thoughts from me:
Who's good at scoring goals: Let's help them score more.
Who's good at breaking the mark: lets work on that.
Who's good at hucking? Let's work on that.
I'll implement drills that work on these skills: We'll run them with everyone trying every position, then we'll run them with people in the positions that they are best at.
I'm really proud of our efforts, and excited at the potential we are showing to improve further in the weeks to come.
next tournament is May 6th, a sunday, in Portland. Similar format, probably see some different teams, and the Portland girls team, along with Corvallis, and South Eugene Girls. Boys will see some Portland teams.
Thursday, April 19, 2012
Be there Sunday at 930.
Kind of got the teams figured out.
We need all the boys, so that we have some subs. I don't want 9 person teams, but, I don't want a 20 person team, either.
Goaltimate tomorrow, among other things. Made the set tonight. See how it holds together.

Yeah fun. And T-shirt winners.
We have a winner. Braedon wins the shirt for seeing the picture, and Maddie wins for seeing the beach camp suggestion.
Today we played goaltimate. A fun game that we'll be playing at least once a week. Imagine, 'half court basketball.' It is really good, as it provides opportunities for players regardless of how far you can throw, or how fast you can run. Our plan for the rest of the year is simple. Introduce one new concept a week, get better at throwing and catching, and play fun games. Hopefully in the SUN! See you monday.

Team PIC
Wanted to get a team pic. I know it's only half the team, so if you're not in it, we'll take another one next week. Just wanted something on the blog! Yeah summit. See you in the cold tomorrow! Dress warm. Leave if you get too cold. Next week will be super warm! Great pic, only 7 seniors! looks GREAT for this year, AND for the future. First kid to come to my room having seen the pic gets a last years shirt, white or green, your choice.

Let's Go! Woo - hoo!
Update: I would consider a parent meeting in the next week or two, to talk about plan for westerns, talk fundraising, and any concerns that a parent would like on the agenda for the good of the group. If you have smaller, or specific questions, just call or email. If it's a small group that needs/wants to talk, we can just call it a planning committee and meet somewhere to assign some accountabillities.
modest turnout 4/10, but good total for the week. Remember the goal is 2 times per week. I have absolutely no concerns with attendance, but would always like a few more. We'll get a few more with more consistent attendance after thunder. We worked on Zone Monday, and reinforced our offense yesterday. We'll do one way force tomorrow, and scrimmage both days.
PRACTICE THURSDAY at skyliner -- meet at summit, leave at 3:04. It will be cooler, and damper, so wear polypro under your shorts and shirts, or sweats over them. Practice FRIDAY probably the same, but stay tuned as I keep an eye on weather. Next week looks warm and sunny! Yippee.
we'll take more pictures soon, but I'll get the team pic posted ASAP! If someone has time, and wants to bring a decent camera, I'll take a couple action shots while you scrimmage one day. NO rush.
ski fundraiser, mbsef, tomorrow., 5:55 pm.
go get skis, bring them there! cross country or downhill (cross country is better, takes less time/wax, but either way)
get a donation.
help me wax if you can! you can help somehow. should be plenty of room to knock it out.
thanks
WESTERNS
parents drivers: any questions about paperwork for background checks, etc?
it does take time, so please get started.
I'll make some calls, personal emails, offer to help next week.
NEXT FUNDRAISER? I've talked to a couple parents, got a bit in the works, but keep hassling me, if you have an idea.
TOURNAMENT, APRIL 22:
current teams for April 22nd tournament in bend.
I will TRY to get the bend bulletin out there.
Boys:
South Eugene
Summit X
Summit y
Corvallis
Maybe:
MVHS/BSHS combo? -- I don't know if they'll have one, coed team, or a boys/girls split. They usually don't have many girls. When we play them in Matches (maybe at the tourney, and for sure in mid week games), we'll play coed if they don't have enough
Churchill
(waiting to hear from grant, cleveland)
Girls
South Eugene
Corvallis
Summit
-maybe
Bend/MVHS?
(Haven't heard from portland contingent)
Games at 10, location will be Summit or Pine nursery, depending on number of teams (I have both reserved, but pine nursery has more room), and I need a football field for each field.

Upcoming.
This week.
We're going to skyliner all week (unless park and rec tells me otherwise). Meet at tennis court. If we don't have enough drivers, we'll stay at summit (it just means less field space, it's not the end of the world).
We're working on Zone defense monday and tuesday, and advanced man to man thursday and friday.
Picture day is still tuesday: unfortunately monday is the sunnier day. We can always take more later. Madison walker has volunteered to take some photos (assuming it works with her track schedule).
Frisbees are ordered, and should be here any day now: Note, If you want to donate to help with frisbees, send a check. If you want to buy a frisbee, please wait until they get here.

what's up, doc?
uniforms will be handed out at practice tomorrow.
barring some change in weather, the current plan is meet inside, throw, warmup, drill, hand out shirts, hats. don't ask if you haven't paid (not much of an issue, but there are one or two of you). (we'll do this another day if you can't be there).
then, after warmups, put on your warmer clothes (and bring thin gloves if you have them), we'll go outside and play games, scrimmage for an hour. forecast is 40, and medium/light wind.
picture day will be next week: I'm thinking tuesday, when it is to be mostly sunny and 61. Pictures will be will be both jerseys, and hats. we're only going to take the team picture if you have the uniform on. this is to frame and put in our trophy case. I'll try to get a decent camera, and or, the news staff photog.

summer beach camp/tourney.
plan is a summer beach camp in seaside. tentative midweek dates july 17-18. if we do a weekend, i'm leaning to the 21/22 weekend. The week before is an 'adult' tournament. I'm also going to look into a beach where we could camp, but the idea would be a 3 day beach trip, with beach ultimate games in the morning, and an afternoon of swimming, playing, and evenings of movies, games. this is in the initial planning stages, so, i welcome feedback. I'd like to do a juniors tournament, so if the 21/22 of july works best for that... that would be plan. I'd prefer to do it where we could camp, to save money, but hotels are not too bad. Requirements would be parent involvement, kid interest.
