Think Fall

You may not have noticed, but it is freaking hot. ONE HUNDRED AND THREE DEGREES? You have to be kidding me. All I can think about is how hot it is. It is inescapable, unrelenting, and cruel. But instead of dwelling in our over-heated self-pity, I suggest the following:

Think Fall.

Think about leaves changing, rain falling, wind blowing, chilly fall. Think about soccer. Kicking the ball across a muddy field, a cold mist touching your cheeks, and the sound of the brisk evening air blowing past your ears as you sprint for a well placed cross.

I feel a little cooler already.

See You Next Fall!

Hey Thunderbolts!

Awesome laserporting on Monday! It seems having unlimited shots helps increase your score... A LOT! It was fun to run around with you all one more time.

It was an honor to be your coach this year. You are all wonderful young ladies. It has been a pleasure to see you all grow up and become incredible soccer players. Thank you for giving me a chance to try being the head coach.

I'd like to thank the parents. Without you raising such great people, coaching would be a lot harder. Getting to practices every Tuesday and Thursday and games 45 minutes early (it made a difference!) for warm-ups isn't always easy. And thank you for bringing snacks, taking a turn at lines-person, and all the other things that come along with being a soccer parent.

Finally, I want to thank Coach Mike and Coach Mary. Without their support through the season I couldn't have done it. You guys rock!

In the end, it was a great excuse to play some soccer and watch some exciting games every Saturday. I hope you all had as much fun as I did.

See you next year!

Best,

Coach David

Thunderbolts Win!!!

Good ball control, aggressive play, and a great goal by Carissa against a pretty evenly match team lead to a 1-0 victory this Saturday.

We've only got one game left. It has been an awesome season so far, I'd love to go out with a "W." But no matter what I'm extremely proud of the way we played and I am grateful for the opportunity to be your coach.

—Coach David

Thanks Thunder-dults!

Thunderbolts!

Thanks to all the Thunder-adults who came out for last night's parent-daughter game. Apologies to those who couldn't make it. I didn't give a lot of notice.

Also, with weather concerns, limited daylight, and expiring field permits I felt it was best to stop practices for the rest of the season. I will miss our warm-ups and scrimmages but we've got two more games left to savor.

—Coach David

Parent-Daughter Game This Tuesday!

Thunderbolts!

Hope you had a beautiful weekend. We had a tough game on Saturday. Some great work offensively led to an awesome goal by Kelsey but the Oz held us to just one goal. I'm proud of the way you all played your hearts out, including a lot of extra playing time.

Tomorrow we will have the annual parent-daughter soccer game. We'll start at 6PM and go until we can't see the ball anymore. Hope to see you there!

—Coach David

No Practice Thursday, Game at 10:30AM Saturday

Thunderbolts!

Because of conferences at Whitford and a trip to San Francisco for me, we won't have practice this Thursday. I'll see you all Saturday! Be at the pitch at 9:45AM for warm-ups.
