Practices Start This Week!!!

The time has finally come for spring season to begin!!! We will begin practicing tomorrow night (Tuesday, March 13th), at 8:15p at United Sports in Downingtown (directions). We will be starting to run promptly at 8:15p, so please arrive before that time to cleat up, go to the bathroom, get water, or whatever. Our practices at United will run from 8:15-10p, and we will be at United on the following dates:
*Tuesdays - March 13th, March 27th
*Thursdays - March 15th, March 22nd, and April 5th
Practices on Tuesday, March 20th, Thursday, March 29th, and Tuesday, April 3rd are still TBD, as United Sports is not available on those nights. Watson or myself will send out reminder emails each day of practice to ensure that everyone knows where we will be practicing that night (If you are not on our email list, please email Trish to join the list).

We have lots of things to go over in a short amount of time. Our first tournament is less than 2 weeks away, so we really need everyone to attend practices and to be on time!!! If you cannot attend practice for any reason or have any questions, please contact Watson or myself.

Spring Season is FINALLY Here!!!

It's time for the start of Spring Season!!! Hopefully our mild winter has given everyone the opportunity to stay in shape during the off-season. If you haven't been doing anything, now's the time to start! Please take the time to review this important information regarding the start of spring season.

Team Meeting
We will be having our mandatory team meeting on Thursday, February 23rd, at 8pm. The meeting will be held at Ryan's in West Chester, as the fire hall is still under construction. Since this is a bar/restaurant, please be sure to bring ID. Everyone who wants to play during Spring Season is expected to attend, as we will be distributing important information and filling out player information forms. Please be sure to bring your planners/Spring Season availability, as well as your Fall Season availability.

Practices
Our first practice will be held Tuesday, March 13th. All practices for the month of March will be held at United Sports in Downingtown, and then starting in April, we will be back at Green Field. Times for our March practices will be subject to field availability, however, we are still aiming for the 8-10p time frame.
