Okay gang....since the numbers have petered out, I'm assuming everyone could use a winter break? Sad to admit it, but I'm included as well. Skiing season is upon us, so I know Jeff is out (some of us are lucky enough to be able to hit the slopes on weekdays!), and the weather is unpredictable at best, which makes planning tough. So, I'd like to propose a final fling, season finale this Sunday, before we pack it in until March or so. Regulars, please chime in with availability, new players definitely welcome as well. Is the 2:00 time frame acceptable at Stratford? Hope to see you all there before our extended Holiday break.
I'm out, but not because of skiing, yet. My indoor game is at 1:50. If we have subs and I'm not totally wiped out, I may make a post-indoor appearance.
Tomorrow at Stratford: Don't wait around on my account, but my indoor game ends around 2:45 and unless my ankle acts up (bit of stinging the last couple weeks) I plan on stopping by for at least one more pre-winter kickaround.
Well......I'm not convinced we've got any numbers for today, so I'm going to be the one to call it. Let's try for next Saturday at 3:00 (Daksims, you know no one will show up until 3:30 anyway) -Stratford Park weather permitting? This way we don't interfere with MLS Cup on Sun. Then we can take off for the Holidays and hopefully pick up again in late Feb. or March. Sound ok? This gives you all some time to make plans or give a head-count here. By the way, San Jose is the luckiest team in the history of MLS......discuss amongst yourselves.
Lucky in the sense that they should have been folded instead of one of the Florida teams? Well then yes; they are.
Was anyone else at the CSYSA coaching license classes this weekend? I think those qualify as unorganized kick arounds. I haven't played much since high school and as a 26 year old, it kicked my arse. But it was fun and now I am an E licensed coach. Anyone who is coaching their kid's youth teams or any other team I strongly reccommend the course. It teaches a lot about good soccer player development.
Neither Matt nor I will be able to make a Saturday afternoon kickaround this week. If it were Sunday we could come, but Saturday is out. By the way, if anyone is interested in joining me and some other folks at the Compa Thanksgiving food outreach this Saturday (11/22) in the a.m., hit me w/a P.M. I will be bringing Krispy Kreme doughnuts for anyone who plans to join our group. We'll be gathering at approximately 8 a.m. under the Chilistrider windsock.
Well.....................back to Sunday then...................how many participants? Anyone.........Bueller?
I'm in for this Sunday if the weather's decent. A friend from my outdoor team wants to play too. Game on?? S.
High of 19 degrees on Sunday, with maybe 2 to 4 inches of snow on the ground. I just don't think I'm that diehard---sorry! So, I guess I'll see you all at a Nats viewing party this winter. Otherwise, until next spring! P.S.---I apologize for this very girlie-girl comment, but I have to say it: I honestly miss y'all. (Though apparently not enough to sign up for indoor )
Chilistriders, I agree. Let's re-address our kickarounds when the temp gets back around the 50 degree range. Until then, maybe I'll see some of you at the Garrison deal. Otherwise, catch you when it warms up. Happy skiing!
Beaver Creek rocked today! Despite the cold, the snow's good, and plenty of stuff was open for an opening day. However, the bad raod conditions are keeping me away from Garrison tonight.
