Get Ready...

We just finished up our coaches workouts for the summer. I was very pleased with the turnout and effort from the girls. It is now time for the captains to take over and continue the workouts up until tryouts begin on the 20th.

Recognition...

Congratulations 8th graders, tomorrow is recognition night, you are one step closer to becoming a full fledged Eagle.  The class of 2016 has done a great job in training so far. We will be switching to morning trainings starting at 9am on Monday. We have been very happy with the turnout and effort so far at training. We have been very impressed with the talent and improvement we have seen so far. I am starting to get excited for next fall.

Summer Training

A new season is just around the corner. We will start training next Wednesday the 30th at 3:00.  The workouts will continue throughout the summer. If you attend 12 workouts this summer you will receive a T-shirt at tryouts in August. Remember to check the calendar at the bottom of the blog. It has many important dates already set.

FROM JENNY...

So I guess this is the curse of being an introvert as you all know I am: with a little planning I can pull off talking to a large group, but when it comes to things that will probably make me cry, no amount of planning will help. I feel though like I missed an important opportunity tonight. So now at home by myself I can tell you all how much this team has meant to me.
It has been such an honor  that you all have shared your lives with me.  Every year after the season ends I get sad that I won't get to see your smiling faces everyday. 
I want you to know that each one of you is an amazing person that brings joy to this team. Everyone adds and balances each other into one cohesive unit unlike any other team I've been a part of.
I want you to know that what you have here at Arlington is unique.  The way this team operates and runs is not how all schools are.  That is largely because of your coaches.  It's not often that your coaches care more about who you are as a person as they do about their record for the season. 
Having played through all the levels soccer, I can't tell you how great it made me feel to know that there are coaches like these three guys investing into the lives of great and deserving people like yourselves.
If any of you ever needs soccer advice, recruiting advice, or just life advice find me on Facebook.  And for Pete's sake just go to young life on Monday night! It'll be the best decision you've ever made.
I love you guys and know that nothing will ever compare to the memories I've made with you.

Awards Potluck

We will wrap up our season this Tuesday, November 15th at 6:30 in the HS Commons with an awards potluck dinner. Please bring a dish to share. Freshman bring salads and upper classmen bring a main dish. Please remember to turn in your uniforms to Cope or Davis as soon as possible. Thanks for another successful and memorable year.

WOW!

We have been on quite a run these past two weeks with four consecutive wins. We topped it off with an amazing senior night night. It was awesome to see how well Dana, Kristen, Teresa, Sadie and Cassie played last night. We have done something that many outside of our team thought was impossible. We finished 3rd in league and qualified for districts. WAY TO GO GIRLS! The game will be Saturday, 1 pm at Edmonds Stadium vs Edmonds Woodway.

Halfway Point

We are heading into the second half of the season with a new focus. Our new commitment is to give a 100% effort 100% of the time.  We had a fun win last night and we look forward to a big match with Jackson on Thursday. Reminder, that cookie dough will be delivered on Friday after school.
