New Year Schedule and Important Information

Posted by Jon Morinishi at Dec 26, 2008 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )

Dear Force Parents,

We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas Holiday this past week and are enjoying the time off from school as we prepare for the New Year this week.

Here are a couple of items for the upcoming week - Friday nights are back (We are finally  back in our 9:00 p.m. time slot on Friday nights with Jason Wright) It's been since August 2008 since we lost our time and we've had to wait until now to get it back. This is totally optional and the cost is still $20 per player, we will be opening it up to a few other 6th grade players so that we can guarantee Jason a certain number of players each week. Our first Friday will be this week on January 2, 2009 at his Huntington Beach location, we will be working mostly on ball handling since we do not cover this at all during our VFW practices.

We also will be having our VFW practice this Saturday 1/3/09 time and location still not out yet but we will need all players at this practice for our Sunday game against OCO.

Please remember that our Sunday game on 1/4/09 will be at the American Sports Center in Anaheim at 6:00 p.m. due to the winter break at Western HS, we will return back to Western HS on 1/11/09.

Last but not least we need to know if there are any players that would like to play in the SASF Tournament in Sacramento 3/28 & 3/29 two weeks prior to the San Jose Ninja Tournament on 4/11 & 4/12. The reason is that we didn't think we would be accepted into the Ninja tournament with our current roster so we asked if we could play in 6th grade again in SASF. Well, we got accepted in the Ninja's but we don't want to burn our bridges in SASF so we want to take a team up there as well. Please do not feel obligated at all, we know that two Northern California tournaments in a short time are both costly and hard to schedule time off from work as well. If we can get at least four FORCE players then we might be able to combine with another team with the same number of players. The deadline for this tournament is on Monday 12/29 but we are asking for a little more time. Please write to me if you are interested as soon as possible.

Thank you and enjoy your time off from school or work.

Holiday Update

Posted by Jon Morinishi at Dec 16, 2008 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )

Dear Force Parents,

In the spirit of Christmas Coach Scotty has decided that we should take the next two weekends off to enjoy the Holidays with Family and Friends. We will be setting up a weekday practice after the New Year Holiday and before our regular VFW practice on 1/3/09.

Remember our next game against OCO on 1/4/09 will be at the American Sports Center in Anaheim. Please allow extra time to park on the roof at this facility.

Our last game against SOC was a typical FORCE game, Coach Scotty saw OCO scouting us on the sidelines in the first half so our boys played to the level of their competition finishing the half with a narrow 15-7 lead. The second half which we always wake up saw us outscore SOC 28-7 and ended up with a 43-14 win. We will really need to work on our defense in the next couple of practices so please try and make both practices when we get the schedule out.

If you haven't paid your November practice fees of $31.00 please do so by the end of the year so we can close the books on 2008 and start a new 2009.

We are now receiving the applications for the tournaments in the Spring and will be making some decisions based on the information we received with the help of Mary. Coach Scotty, Coach Jon and myself will try to meet over the holidays to solidify a tournament schedule.

HAVE A SAFE AND WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!!

VFW Holiday Party Day

Posted by Jon Morinishi at Dec 8, 2008 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )

Dear Force Parents,

We are scheduled to practice this Saturday 12/13 at Valencia HS from 2:00-4:00 p.m. in the large gym, we will be sharing the gym with another team.

The Boys were a little rusty on Sunday as they haven't played a real game since the VFW Tournament, it will take them a few games to get back into that aggresive, help defense and to have everyone run the offensive plays together. They did play very hard as we played a pretty new team in Norwalk. The Norwalk team picked up a few travel team players so it appeared to look more like an NJB All-Net team instead of a SEYO team. In the end they came through with a 48-43 victory and we will prepare for SOC this weekend.

Don't forget the VFW Holiday Party on Saturday night as well !!

Please let us know if you are not going top be at practice as we need everyone there to work on a lot of things before Sunday.

Thanks again,

Mark
