Team practice schedule

With teachers starting school this week, we will be moving practice to 3:30-5:30 Wed-Friday this week and continue that time the rest of the season.

Training team schedule

The training team will meet Wednesday and Friday this week from 5-6 pm. You can hit the weight room on Thursday any time.

Team Managers

Emmon, Jenni and Kaylee, if you are available to come to the Bear River game on Tuesday, meet at the field at 1:15.
We need coolers from Brad, water bottles filled up, and equipment from the storage building. Thanks, Coach

What a way to start!!!!

Just a quick note to thank you girls for a great start to the season!! Bear Lake was great, you girls pictures in the paper was a great surprise, and last nights games were a solid way to start. Thanks for all the hard work and focus. I now love the Spice Girls and I understand why I have wasted so much of my life disliking Michael Jackson. Instead, I will agree that he is the king of pop and is a great dancer. Thanks for helping me come to terms with these life changing realizations!! Don't waste time being jealous of others sweet dance moves, choreography or lyric writing ability. You'll regret it like I do and you'll become a cynical old man (or woman) who does not like to have fun. I especially love the she wolf in the closet line. It's ingenious. Now I don't like Shakira because she is such a better songwriter and howler than me. See you tomorrow.

Bear Lake

Our tentative schedule for tomorrow at Bear Lake is:
Meet at LHS tennis courts at 7:00 am
Load and leave by 7:15
Drive to the Limber Pine trail head for a light hike and team building
We'll drive to the Blue Water Resort to swim, canoe and play
We'll eat lunch around noon or 1:00
After lunch we'll do a service project and go for a run
We'll be back to LHS between 4:30 and 5:00
A team dinner is kindly being prepared at the Tilley's house at 5:30

Things to bring for the day-
water bottle
sunscreen
towel
sandals or water shoes
good shoes to run and hike
work gloves
swim suits and water clothes
Eat breakfast before you come or pack one for the bus ride

Parent Meeting!!!

There will be a parent meeting for all players and their parents on Friday at 6:00 pm in the Little Theater at LHS. This year there will be a $75 fee to play soccer that will go to the team to cover expenses. Please bring a check for $75 made out to LHS girls soccer. Thanks, we'll see you there.

Important Info

Congratulations to all the girls who made the team!!! We are proud of you and excited to have you on the team. A few things to remember: get your physicals done by Monday, August 10th. Get online and register at the LHS website. Let me know what questions you have. Make sure your shin guards are NOCSAE approved. I'll see everyone in the morning.

Athlete registration and fees

I was very pleased with our first day of tryouts. I thought they went well and we have some great athletes out for the team. I just wanted to remind everyone to follow the link on the right for LHS athletic registration. The site is now up and all players need to get registered on the site and pay their fees by Monday, August 10. Let me know if you have questions or problems. Also, remember to get physicals tonight at 5:30 at Alpine Orthopedics or on your own by Monday the 10th so you can play in Tuesday's game. Good luck tomorrow.

Shinguards

All players are required this year to wear shinguards that are NOCSAE approved. You will know they are NOCSAE approved because there will be a tag that has it printed on or it will be printed on the shinguard itself. Referees will check and enforce the rule. You will not play unless you have the approved shinguard. Al's Sporting Goods and Big 5 both have them. If you order them, I'd recommend Eurosport at Soccer.com. As you search the website, each shinguard you look at will show if it is approved or not. You will need them for the first game, August 11. Also, make sure that you get the appropriate size. Let coaches know if you have questions.

Logan High graduates playing college ball

We have three girls who graduated and are playing for great collegiate programs.
Morgan Olsen is playing for Idaho State, Kacee Voldness at Louisiana Tech and Cami Jensen at Brigham Young University. We'll keep an eye on these three great players and keep you posted on their seasons. There is a link to USU's schedule to the right. We are trying to arrange schedules to take the team to see a few games and support these talented players.

Fiji futbol

My wife and I spent a week in Fiji in July. I brought along a suitcase full of soccer balls to give kids there. Here are a few of the kids.

This is Ella and her brothers.

Smart kids, great smiles. This little girl needed a soccer ball.

Samuel and his grandmother Mariani invited us over for tea and bread. Wonderful family.




















































This is Samuel and his cousin. He said "I have to get my boots on to play futbol".

Along with that, all athletes need to come to tryouts with a completed and signed parental disclosure form. This form can be found at http://www.uhsaa.org/info/images/forms/forma.pdf
The second page is what you need to print and have complete to tryout. Print all 4 pages. The 3rd and 4th pages are the physical pages for the Doctor to fill out. If you make the team, you will need to have a physical and be cleared to play by August 10. An inexpensive way to do this is to go to Alpine Orthopedics on August 3rd at 5:30. They schedule with LHS to have any athletes that want to come for physicals do it on that day.
