A NUMBER OF THINGS...
...after our last day of tryouts today:
1.) Congrats to everyone for a job well done these past three days in the heat and sun. Overall, the work ethic and attitude were great, and that just makes us coaches that more excited to work with all of you this season.
2.) We're looking forward to having some fun at the beach tomorrow. Please be on time! If you're not sure where Tunnel Park is, it's located on Lakeshore in Holland, just south of Lakewood.
3.) Be sure to READ through and STUDY up regarding the boys soccer guides you received today at the conclusion of our practice. A lot of time and effort was put into that, and it's the key to understanding EXACTLY what's expected of a Hamilton Hawkeye male soccer player at any age level. BRING the guide with you to practice on Monday! By the way, the second to last page of that guide provides you with the SHIN GUARD REQUIREMENTS for this season and beyond. Please take notice and make purchases accordingly.
4.) Remember that $25 is due (cash or check made out to Hamilton High School) for each player to next Tuesday for the game socks and training shirts you received today. If any individual simply cannot come up with that amount or needs to exchange sizes of shirts, please see any of the coaches ASAP.
5.) In addition, remember that your "other Hamilton soccer apparel" order forms and $$ are due by next Friday if you choose to partake.
6.) Monday of next week is a busy day for all players with the following items on the agenda: practice from 9-noon (Varsity players should plan on spending the last portion of practice in Coach Robinson's room for a team meeting which may go a bit beyond noon), JV Holland Rescue Mission trip (required...transportation is provided) from 3:30-6-ish PM, and Parent Night for all parents at 7 PM (JV in Coach Stieper's room, Varsity in Coach Robinson's room).
7.) For Varsity players as a future heads-up for next Saturday, the 22nd, here is the game schedule for our QUAD TOURNAMENT that day: Hamilton vs. Kelloggsville @10 A.M. (game field), Hamilton vs. Allendale @ 11:30 A.M. (game field), and Hamilton vs. Hastings @1:00 P.M. (game field). Each team will play 3 games of 30 minute halves with 10 minute halftimes and 20 minutes between games. Any tie will be resolved by a shoot-out. Further details for the JV tournament that day are still pending.
8.) For any other items on the schedule, please refer to the updated schedule you received at the conclusion of practice today.
We're all looking forward to a GREAT start to the official "team" season!
