Week 2

Week 1 of the 2013-2014 was busy to say the least. Starting two a days, splitting teams, getting team pictures done, distributing warm ups and uniforms were just a few of the activities that took place. And then there were of course the actual practices. Thirty players will make up the Varsity and JV rosters. Most of the players and a parent attended the mandatory athletic meeting last Wednesday. On Saturday the annual car wash took place at LJ Wagner's. Nearly one hundred vehicles got liquid attention from the players and coaches. Speaking of coaches, Seth Douwsma (former NW and Indiana Wesleyan player) is the newly hired JV head coach and Kyle Dijkstra helped out as Goalkeeper coach. Welcome aboard to both of them. Kyle will be goimng to IU Bloomington so he will help out this week but after that we will probably only see him sporadically. Today marks day 1 of week #2 and all practices are now from 3:30-5:30 pm Monday thru Friday. Typically, the practices will be at the High School. The only exception is the day before a home game; on those days, the Varsity will reluctantly practice at the game field. The coaching staff wants to thank LJ Wagner's for allowing us to use their parking lot and water for the car wash. We would also like to think all the parentsw who donated soap, sponges, towels etc. for the car wash. We also appreciate Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Eschelman and Mrs. Taylor for volunteering to be our Captain's Club representatives this season. We also want to thank the returning letterman for helping us out Friday to get the game field ready. The dugouts are clean and back in place. With only 6 days of practices remaining, the first game will be here before you know it.
