6-1 Scrimmage Win vs. Zeeland East Thoughts....
Gentlemen, you are to be overall commended for the effort last night vs. Zeeland East. Obviously, it was a win on the scoreboard, but there were also several "wins" regarding individual and group play sprinkled throughout the game as well. Now, the perfectionist in me is disappointed that we let in a garbage-time goal near the conclusion and we still certainly need more energy/consistent play throughout, but still...
Let's at this point again remember: COMPLACENCY IS TO BE AVOIDED AT ALL TIMES!!
And we move on...and forward...

Sand Soccer Tournament
Hi, everyone!
As
you know from the previous schedule, HS boys and fams, this Saturday,
Aug. 17 is our non-mandatory Sand Soccer tournament at Tunnel Park in
Holland from 9 am to around noon.
**All family
members/friends are invited! We'll pick small-sided teams at the
conclusion of Friday's training, set up a schedule, and then play on the
beach that AM.
As
a random estimate, we'll have around 35-40 HS boys eating...plus any
fam/friends who would like to join! Sorry, that's not very exact...best I
can do at this point.
Either way, we've done this event a few times in the past, and it was a great time all around!
Thanks, everyone...very much looking forward to getting this thing started tomorrow!
Oh, and if anyone's interested in signing up for cell
phone text "reminders" from me from here on out, simply text
"@jvvarsity" to 616-604-4139
to sign up for free! From then on, you are signed up, and I can
communicate with you via text at any point for reminders if that's more
convenient for you.
Best,
Coach Robinson

The Countdown Continues!!
Hi, everyone!
I really hope the summer's been treating you well as of late and that you are as excited as we are to get this thing going next Wednesday, Aug. 14...the Iron Man Contest/start to tryouts!!
A few updates/reminders regarding that day:
**Before ANY physical activity, you are REQUIRED to have a physical on file at the HS main office (dated later than April 2013). You also need to sign an athletic code of conduct and pay a small athletic insurance fee at the office as well. Having just checked the list today, there are MANY of you who have yet to fulfill these requirements. Get it done asap, please!
**We'll meet at 8 AM (please arrive a bit early to personally prepare) that day (Wed., Aug.14) in the football field/track area.
**Please bring water, running gear for track events, and soccer gear for field events that day.
**The AM session will end at 11 AM. From 11-1 PM, you're free to do whatever, but obviously, you'll want to hydrate and eat something. Anyone is more than welcome to hang out in Coach Stieper's classroom in the junior hallway of the high school during that interim period. I'd offer my room as well, but i'll be tallying the Iron Man Contest points for each individual during that time in there!
**From 1-3 PM that day, we'll do a lot of scrimmaging as part of the first day tryout process so that we can evaluate you in live soccer action on top of the Iron Man events. The next two days after that (Thursday/Friday of next week) will also be tryout days but conducted more like practice sessions (9 to noon each day). We'll meet at the practice field for those days.
**JV and Varsity teams will be determined by the end of training on Friday, Aug. 16.
I think that's it for now, everyone! Please let me know of any questions/comments/concerns from here on out!
As always....lookin' very much forward!!

OFFICIAL off-season training...
A note from Coach Malefyt...
Hello everyone!
Here is the information for this years winter training schedule. Availability in the middle school balcony is not ideal so we are making the best of what we have. There are really four different things that we have planned for you:
1. One Structured day per week for circuit training in the middle school balcony. This will happen 3-4 on Mondays. The first date for this will be January 24.
2. One structured day per week for a running program that Coach Wandel has put together. This will happen at the High School Indoor Track. This structured day will be on Tuesdays. However, the first available day will be on a Wednesday...January 19.
3. Along with the Tuesday structured day...you should do the running program one more day. However, this day is up to you. Each Tuesday you will get the workout for that week and you would do the same workout on your own time. This could even be done at home.
4. Coach Robinson and myself are offering ball workout sessions on Thursday's after school. Signup with Coach Robinson!
Click here to see all of this in scheduled form! (This will tell of day's off as well)
Hopefully when you look at the schedule and read the email it will make sense to you. Please let me know if you have any questions!
