CLICK HERE FOR THE ORDER FORM.

3.  BOOSTER DUES:  $10 /FAMILY

In the past few years there has not been much of a booster club.  Therefore, there is not much available in funds.  It is my goal to try to build up our booster club without putting a burden on anyone financially or with your time.  100% participation means a little help in some way from everyone at some point in the season.   This will provide a great support system to your daughter, the team and the program.  With everyones help, we can put funds back into the program to maintain our field, provide uniforms and equipment, and have the funds to provide meals and motel rooms for the team on away games.  

Please help in any way you can: 

  • We have committees that need volunteers (Senior Night /Away Game Snacks / End of the Season Banquet).
  • WE need volunteers to help in concession for our games and running the score board.
  • I have signed us up to do concession at the Stadium. Girls and Parents can do this !!!

**We will be planning and doing various fundraising projects that may require some help from you.

HAVING SAID ALL THIS, WE PLAN TO HAVE A “FUN” DINNER AND START THE SEASON OFF ON A GOOD FOOT !!!   SEE YOU ALL THURSDAY

Lastly, remember to get your physical turned in to me by Feb. 24.

Indoor Season, Warts and All…

The good news: the indoor schedule was realeased over the weekend. Here it is:

http://www.lakecountrysoccer.org/Assets/Girls+B+HS.PDF

The bad news: due to a miscommunication about the leagues we were trying to sign up for, only one of our teams was assigned a league to play in.

Long story, short… We have 20 girls, eight games, one team. Here’s what we’re doing about it:

  1. Any girls who have not yet paid will be asked to give up their indoor roster spot.
  2. Any girls who have opportunities to play on another team will be encouraged (but not required) to give up their roster spot.
  3. We will divide up the eight games on our schedule between the remaining girls. Most girls will play approximately 6 games instead of 8.
  4. Full or partial refunds will be distributed after we settle up with Lake Country.

Sorry for this disappointment. It was an honest mistake between us and the LCS office, who all did what they were supposed to; but because the schedules are now so full, they have no way to reassign our other team into any of the leagues scheduled to begin before the high school outdoor season gets underway.

FOR THE FIRST GAME THURSDAY… McKenzi has to sort out the roster based on the issues listed above, so she will be in touch tonight and Wednesday to do that and then announce who will play in the first game.

If you don’t have Mac’s number, you can reach me at 860-0759, and I will share her number with you.

Thanks… Coach Nurnberg

2012 Girls Schedule Available (Sort of…)

The schedule for the girls’ 2012 season is posted on the website. All of the dates should be 100 percent correct; starting times for home and away games need to be verified.

I will amend the away-game info as I receive it from the other schools.

I will update the exact times and locations for our home games once I receive the track schedules, which are due out before the end of January. As you may realize, we play as many home games at JFK Stadium as we can, but track events take priority and force some of games back over to our grass field. Due to a lack of lights at the grass field, we start grass-field games earlier in the evening.

Here is the link to the schedule:

Off-Season Workouts-UPDATED 11/30!!!

Off-season practices will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Due to the large number of soccer players participating in off-season, we are forced to do our sessions separate from the other spring sports. The weight room can’t handle the size of our group. Of course, this is a good problem, but it does require us to change our schedule  from what we discussed at the start of this week.

Here is a generic itinerary of each day at off-season:

 3:10-3:55 PM – Conditioning/Speed/Agility/Technique

  • Meet outside the girls’ locker room, where we will decide whether to go inside or outside. Plan on outside activities when wind chills are at or above 40 degrees.

4:00-4:30 PM – Weight Training Long distance runs (up to two miles),

  • Tuesdays – Upper body
  • Thursdays – Lower body

All players who are not playing a winter sport at school are strongly encouraged to attend off-season training sessions.

Fishing Trip Info…

A delicious dinner...

All players and parents are welcome to attend our fishing trip to Lake Taneycomo Nov. 20.

We will meet in the Grant Street parking lot at 11 AM and leave by 11:15 AM. Participants are encouraged to carpool; there will not be a bus. We should be on the water from 12:30-3:30 PM and return home by 4:30 PM or so.

I am pleased to announce that Lilley’s Landing Resort in Branson has very generously offered us use of their dock and three or four pontoon boats for our outing! We are asked only to cover the cost of fuel for the boats. They operate a full-service fly and tackle shop, so you will be able to purchase your license and tackle there when we arrive.

Here is a checklist of reminders to do before the trip:

  • Obtain a valid Missouri state fishing license.
  • Purchase appropriate bait and tackle. Night crawlers and Power Bait are good choices for bait fishermen. Small treble hooks with springs around the shanks are good for Power Bait.
  • Bring money and food.
  • Dress appropriately. It likely will be chilly.

Tight lines,

Nurnberg
