[pic]Harambe Predators & Roma Update

I’m looking forward to a great spring season of soccer. Those that have been coming to practices have been working hard to prepare for the upcoming season. I certainly am excited to get out of the PAC, Soccer Dome and Sports City, and into the great outdoors!
It’s been a while since I sent an update. It was pretty hectic dealing with 4 indoor teams, and I apologize. I’ll try to send out an update at least every other week.

Teams
This Spring Odede and I will have 3 outdoor teams.

U13 Harambe Roma (U13B) ■
U15 Predators Red (BHS3) ■
U15 Predators Black (U16A) ■

Training Opportunities: Schedule

Monday 5:30 – Roma – Practice – WMSL – Morton ■
Tuesday 5:30 – Roma Practice – WMSL – Morton ■ 5:30 – Predators Black and Red Practice – WMSL – Odede ■■ 5:30 – Goalkeepers Practice – WMSL – Stoiber ■■■
Wednesday 5:00 – Academy Practice (focus on fundamentals) – WMSL – Roma ■ 6:00 – Academy Practice (focus on fundamentals) – WMSL – Predators Black & Predators Red ■■
Thursday 5:30 – Predators Black Practice – WMSL – Morton ■ 5:30 – Predators Red Practice – WMSL – Odede ■
Saturday 2:30 – Speed and Agility – Lakeview – England ■■■

Practices will go until Dark. Practice days/times may change throughout the year, but his is how we will start.

The teams have some great opportunities for training. At no additional cost you can go to an Academy practice which will focus on fundamentals (I encourage everyone to attend), goal keeping practices for goal keepers during Tuesday’s practice, and speed and agility training. These combined with regular team practices will do a lot to developer our teams. Please take advantage of these sessions.

I expect everyone to attend speed and agility unless they have a game during that time period. This is very important because we do not have enough time to focus on these activities during practices. Soccer is a speed and endurance sport. Attending these regularly will help build strength and stamina for the games.

I do not know the field that we will practice on yet, let’s meet at the concrete soccer ball for the first practice, and walk to the field together.
Please be on time, or you’ll have to come find us.

Attendance at Games/Practices
Now that the season has started, attendance at practices and games is required. Being part of a team means that when you miss, your team suffers. I realize some are playing high school sports, and for high school games/practices I will consider an exception. Most high schools practices however, DO NOT last past our practice start time. I still expect you to attend even if you have a high school practice earlier in the day. Practices will move to later in the day when the days get longer, but for now, please do your best to be there.

If you cannot make a practice or game, or need to discuss conflicts with high school functions, please let me know. I will expect a phone call or email with advanced notice of missing games/practices.
