All Stars,

I am very excited about the opportunity we have this weekend! We have talked to the girls about preparation, but have not discussed it too much with the parents. So here goes……..

1. No sleepovers until after the tournament.
2. No swimming until after the tournament.

Please keep talking to the girls about teamwork and leadership. Here is the schedule for the next two days.

THURSDAY (One day until game day) – Hitting practice at Windermere 6:00 to 7:00. Please make sure the girls begin to hydrate themselves for the weekend.

FRIDAY (Game day)

1. We have a late game, so have the girls sleep in. If they are early risers, have them take a nap or rest around 3:00.
2. Hydrate during the day.
3. The day should be a relaxing day to prepare for the game.
4. Eat dinner between 5:00 and 6:00.
5. BE AT THE FIELD AT 6:45 PM
6. GAMETIME – 8:00 PM

We will talk about Saturday and Sunday after the game on Friday.

GO WINDERMERE

Turf and Pool Party

Posted by Keith Bradford at Jun 25, 2008 8:33PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

Don’t forget to bring your $20 to Turf tomorrow to cover our costs. We will start at 7:30. If you could bring cash, that would simplify things.

Kim and George Ziegler have offered to host our first All Star get together Sat. after our practice. George said around 6ish. George and Kim are providing the grill items. If everyone would please bring either a side dish or appetizer to share, and BYOB, that would be great. Should be a fun time for the girls and parents.

Thanks,
Stephanie
