You Haven't Played Soccer Until You've Played in the Rain

Today should be a fun day for soccer, despite the weather. Our game is scheduled for 10:40am however, most of our team arrived early at the last game and that 15 extra minutes of practice really helped us a lot. If you are able and willing to arrive by 10:15, it would be helpful.

If You're Inclined to Talk About Soccer or Ear Rings
At this stage, our girls are just starting to understand this game. Here are a few ideas that could find there way into your conversations.
1. Sometimes the best pass to make is to your teammate who is behind you.
2. We pass to the outside part of the field because that's where there is open space.
3. When you get the ball, look up, dribble if you can, and pass to the space or open teammates.
4. Every year millions of pair of ear rings are lost on the soccer field when the referee says, "you can't wear earrings," and then they get lost in the hand-off to mom and dad. Girls, leave your earrings at home.
