1. When does soccer season start and end?

* Soccer practice begins the first Monday after Thanksgiving, with games starting right af-ter Christmas break.

2. How many games are in a season?

• We will play 14 dis-trict games, one tour-nament and a cou-ple of scrimmages.

3. What do you enjoy most about coaching soccer?

• I enjoy getting to teach soccer and work with a great group of guys.

4. How long are prac-tices and what kind of things do you get to do in practices?

• Practices are from 4:15-6:00. We work on all of the basic skills like passing,

shooting, throw-ins, and goal tending. We do drills to get those skills into game like situations, and we scrimmage.

5. What challenges have you faced this year?

• We have a large num-ber of players this year with a vast difference in skill levels. It has been difficult to chal-lenge the better play-ers while still teaching the basics to the new players.

6. What are some things this year’s team has really improved on or done well with?

• This team has come a long way as far as playing as a team. We have some excellent individuals that will form a good team once we are all play-ing the same game.

7. How is playing soccer different than other sports?

• Soccer involves a lot of endurance like cross country, but also needs a lot of sprint-ing speed like track. A good soccer game has a flow like a basketball game with constant action except it is spread out over a foot-ball field. Everyone on the field needs to be thinking and playing offense and defense all of the time.

Go hang out with a hobo

We asked, “What are you going to do on your birthday?

Blood is Midnight Red, My soul is pure black, he’s the one who makes me laugh, his smile makes my day, there’s no-way for me to explain my love for him; it grows more and more every day and never fades away, just like Earth always rotating in a 360 °, all the way! How long will we last, no one will ever know nor find out, it’ll be awhile no doubt, Now onward to the facts: I L-O-V-E everything about him, yes his awesome smile, I would figure how many inches in a mile, anything, for what it takes to make him smile, one thing for sure, this isn’t no lie, he’s way sweeter than apple-peachie-pie, how can I make you understand that we’re meant to be…together, for-ever...you && me♥ Written by yours truly: -Anissa Medina Dedicated to the dude who was there for me through the tough times, Jose Villarreal.

Birthdays!
