Week Two

Monday and Tuesday we saw our roster grow from 9 to 13 to 17! Suddenly our little plot of land that has been serving as our practice field (while we search and pray for a van) was feeling a little cramped. On Tuesday we attempted to shuttle our team to a local field to get some drills in on a full field with goals and nets. While it was nice to get onto a full field, we lost nearly 40 minutes of practice time en route (20 minutes before and after practice to take two trips to and back to get all the kids there). Hopefully, we can get a few parents to volunteer vehicles to get out squad to this park once a week for practice.

Wednesday we had players from the Milwaukee Wave (our local pro indoor team) running practice...

Thursday we ran some drills and then went through positions for our first game next Thursday. Then we scrimmaged a little to go over how each player should be moving during a game at their position.

We are probably not really ready for next week's game, but no team really is at this point of the season. Offensively we are set and it looks like we have our goalie set as well. All that lies between our forwards and goalie will be our biggest question that needs to be answered.
