Strikers This Week
28 Aug 2022 by Jeff Kirkpatrick
Good evening,
I have a few things to share so I will get to it.
Practice this week is Monday through Thursday at the Great Park (time and field # are on the calendar). Very important, on Tuesday night starting at 7:30 pm, there is a mandatory Parent Meeting on field 10. At this meeting Coach Willie will be going over the plans for this season among other exciting items.
Regarding this season's games, MLSNEXT has released a partial schedule. I expect this partial schedule to change and games to get moved around. Therefore, you will notice that I have only updated the Team Calendar with the boys' game schedule through November. There are games to be played in 2023, but for now, let's just focus on the near future. For those families that want to see the full (partial) schedule, I have added a button to the Team App's home screen that will take you to the official MLSNEXT schedule. For those families just joining the team, please understand that the schedule, as posted by MLSNEXT, is still not fully complete and things can and will change throughout the season. Therefore, I do not recommend making any reservations in anticipation of some of the away games until the boys are further into the season. Additionally, I recommend that on weekends where it appears the boys are "free" (i.e. no game(s) have been scheduled), assume that they will have an obligation and you may not find out what that is until the week of.
Finally, Coach Willie prefers to share information about practices, games, travel, etc. with the boys and does not always remember to update me. I STRONGLY encourage you to ask your son after each practice if Willie has changed anything related to that week's schedule. As I mentioned I do not always receive information timely so check with your son first if you notice any conflicts with the Team Calendar as I have posted it.
That is all for now. See you on Tuesday.
