Indiana Summer Soccer Showcase 2010 - information update

NorthWood plays in group I and will face Perry Meridian on Saturday July 24 at 2:30 pm. On Sunday July 25, NW will play Wapahani at 11 am and Merrillville at 4 pm. All games will be played at Davis Park in Anderson, IN. The address for the park (which is the home of Sporting Indiana FC) is 4507 Nichol Ave, Anderson IN for everyone who wants to plug that into their GPS. The complex has 4 fields and we will play the first and last one on Anderson field and the middle game on Melin field. The buses will leave the AC at 10 am Saturday.

Here we go again!

This week is somewhat the unofficial start of the 2010-2011 season. After an Open Field on Monday, we played in our last two games last night in the 7v7 league at the NIBCO Soccer complex last night. The results were pretty good; we beat Concord 4-3 and tied Memorial 5-5. There is a lot we need to work on but we are getting a little bit of game and playing time and the conditioning is getting a little better as well. With pratices on Wednesday & Thursday and maybe Friday, we should be able to handle the three games at the Showcase tournament this coming weekend.

For the first time this year we will have "Open Field"! We will start at 7 pm at the practice field (north of the High School) and will finish up around 8:30 pm.

Another friend who coaches soccer

My former co-worker and friend Roland Kuipers, a soccer legend in his own mind, coaches youth soccer at VV Aengwirden in the Netherlands. If I am not mistaken, Roland and I played together on a company team for GSD Leeuwarden in the 80's in the Frieslandhal. Roland has, if memory serves me right, a goalscorer's instinct a la Gerd Muller. In the picture he is located in the last row on the right

AC/OG 01/11/10

Reminder, the next Open Gym will be in the AC on Monday January 11 from 7:30 - 9 pm.

Open Gym/AC update

Monday 12/21/09 we will have Open Gym from 7:30 - 9 pm in the AC.

AC Open Gym - new starting time!

Starting Monday December 7, Open Gym will start around 7:30 -maybe a little after- and will last til about 9 pm. Due to the start of the basketball season we are forced to move the starting time back just a bit. Since both coaches will be at a basketball game at the Pit on monday, we ask that everybody gets to the AC around 7:30 and as soon as the coaches show up we will start play.
