Weekly Update 8/29

Good morning! 

We are headed into a busy week for the team! First, congrats to both teams for the wins against CCC this past week, it was a great start to the season. The upcoming week we have three games! 

For those of you who ordered long sleeve shirts, I need the money in by next Friday September 9. Checks can be made out to Ballher Brand ltd. 

Thursday is convocation and open house for the schools, I am not cancelling practice based on the High School doing tech handout and schedules differently this year. However, I will not be at practice Thursday because I have to be at Washington Elementary for our Open House. Coach Jordan and Coach Jared will be running practice that day. 

If you have any questions please let me know.

Nike Headbands

Hi everyone! 

Unfortunately I have some bad news, I just was informed that the Nike headbands that tie in the back are illegal in games according to OHSAA rules. According to the rule the “Tie in the back creates a safety issue and is not permitted to be worn in soccer” playing rule 4 section 2 states that “any knotted device may be dangerous.” 

I know these headbands are very popular, I like them myself, but a violation of this rule in an official game will get me carded and you will have to remove the headband. I am sorry that it’s the rule. 

Thanks. 

Weekly Update 8/22

Hi everyone! 

A quick update for the week, our season home opener is this week on Wednesday against Canton Central Catholic! Hope to see everyone there! I am ready to start the official season!

Make sure to email me sizes for the optional long sleeve shirt by tonight, if your student hasn’t already let me know. I am putting the order in tomorrow. 

If you have any questions, let me know!!

Long Sleeve Shirt/Other info

First, Tom Miller from Ballher brand designed long sleeve warm up shirts for the girls to purchase. This is OPTIONAL and the girls get to keep the shirt. Below is the design, the girls can make them customizable with their own numbers and the stars indicate varsity letter winning years AKA if I played 3 years on varsity with 3 letters I would get 3 stars. Again this is optional, the cost is $50 for the shirt, they are extremely high quality, open to both JV and varsity. If you are interested in a shirt I will need your name, size, number and # of stars. Please email, text or add it to the sign up sheet at practice on Friday, I want all orders in by Sunday (money can come later). ASK YOUR PARENTS FIRST!!! PLEASE DO NOT COMMIT TO A SHIRT IF YOU HAVEN’T ASKED FIRST. 

Second, JV and Varsity are a TEAM, the varsity is required to come for the JV games and the JV is required to stay to varsity games, this includes home games. We like the JV to watch the varsity because, ultimately, that is the level they are trying to get to. Also, for away games, if your student is traveling home with you after both games, I need a note from the parent in my hand before we leave the high school, otherwise the student must ride home on the bus. Please don’t make riding home a regular thing. 

Thank you.

I got some unfortunate news yesterday that our JV scrimmage has been cancelled on Saturday and it will be a Varsity only scrimmage. The Varsity will now play at 1:00pm (the original JV time). We will still be meeting at the same time as originally posted. 

JV Girls will be having practice 9-10:30am at the soccer fields Saturday morning, JV girls are welcome to travel with us after practice to support the team. 

All swingers will be traveling/dressing for the Varsity match. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
