Head coach Tom Stone is journeying to Europe with one goal in mind - improving his team. Once he returns, his focus will be on the improvement of the players currently on his roster.

Good find pipper!

The Beat will need this time to prepare because next season will be interrupted frequently by national team call-ups for the 2003 Women’s World Cup.

How frequent is frequent?

The Beat have a training camp planned for mid-October followed by an exhibition game with the Washington Freedom in Houston on October 19, and one with the Carolina Courage in Cary.

I wonder when the Carolina one is? I hope folks in the ATL can make it to that one. Man..SAS is getting some mad love this fall!

I wish my "Tommy needs to go to Europe" thread was still around.

Can you believe I didn't screw it up?!?!

Here's another quote to shut the Hooper talk up:

Hooper, during the season, married an American, and she will not count against the limit on foreign players because she will also have a green card.

Can she still play for Canada? I guess we'll see against Australia in 2 weeks.

Yes. She has already been called up.

I hope Stone reels in some big ones! We need some height and some speedy forwards. I already think we have the quickest backline in the league... now we need some quick front-runners!
