Boys Soccer Checklist for Upcoming Season

July 22nd, 2011 by Coach Nurnberg No comments »

The Parkview soccer field has held up fairly well with July's drought-like conditions.

1. Have you obtained your sports physical using MSHSAA’s new form? It must be turned in prior to your participation with the team. The form is accessible from the “Forms” page on this site.

2. Have you recruited two children to participate in our Kids’ Camp August 8-10? All players are expected to recruit campers, as this is our primary fundraising event each and every year. The camp registration form is accessible from the “Kids’ Camp” page on this site.

3. Concussion Baseline Screenings are being done by the athletic training staff during our last practice of the summer July 28. We meet at 4 PM in the weight room, and then we move outside around 5 PM. All players are strongly encouraged to attend.

4. Dead week runs from July 29 through August 7. Players and coaches should not have any sports-related contact during those days; however, players and parents can reach Coach Nurnberg with questions pertaining to the upcoming season.

Rolla Game Cancelled Due to Father’s Day

June 16th, 2011 by Coach Nurnberg No comments »

Our scrimmage in Rolla is cancelled for now due to it being Father’s Day. Neither team was going to have enough players. We will try to reschedule.

Practice tonight is also looking doubtful. If it’s raining at 5 PM, we will cancel.

Boys Soccer: Summer 2011

June 2nd, 2011 by Coach Nurnberg No comments »
  1. Like hungry frogs, Parkview boys soccer will eat bugs in order to master their environment.

    Please visit the the Calendar on our web site to see the entire summer and fall important dates. 

    1. Note that our first training session is June 9 (5-6:30 PM). We will meet every Thursday throughout the summer.
    2. Also note that our first friendly will be June 19 in Rolla, a Sunday afternoon game that will require us to carpool up there. We will meet at the Grant Street parking lot that day at 1 PM, play 4 PM at Rolla High School, and arrive back to Parkview by 8:30 PM or so. Parents are encouraged to attend and transport players there and back. Other local scrimmages will be scheduled as we go.
  2. Please send me an email from all of your regular email addresses (yours and your parents’) so I can add you to my distribution list. My email address is jnurnberg@spsmail.org. Email me if you need my cell phone number.
  3. Remember that our team camp is June 27-30, 4-7 PM. The cost is $40, and make checks payable to me (Clint Nurnberg). Bring your payment to any of the first few practice days or the Rolla scrimmage. Most of the money will be deposited into the school’s account for boys’ soccer to be used for my tuition to the 2012 NSCAA Advanced National Diploma.
  4. Remember your fitness goals to achieve during our first August practice:
    1. Two-mile run in less than 13 minutes.
    2. Sit-ups: 75 with no rests
    3. Push-ups: 50 with no rests.
  5. Recruit campers for the PHS Kids’ Camp. The Springfield Legends Soccer Club is doing its own camp this summer, so many of those kids will not be there to buoy our numbers.

District Champs!

May 20th, 2011 by Coach Nurnberg No comments »

Sophomore Emily Courtney dominated her sideline throughout the district tournament. She scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's district championship match.

The Parkview Lady Vikings defeated Joplin, 2-0, Thursday at Harrison Stadium, a win that delivered the school its first-ever district title in soccer.

Sophomore Emily Courtney put away the game-winning goal in the early minutes of game, pouncing on her own rebound and roofing it underneath the crossbar on the team’s first cornerkick of the night.

Senior Kelsey Loderhose scores with the outside of her foot.

Senior Kelsey Loderhose added an insurance goal less than 10 minutes later, receiving the ball from Courtney and then slotting the ball into the right corner of the goal with the outside of her foot.

While the team created a few more good chances to score, the defense took over, limiting Joplin’s offensive opportunities to a few tense cornerkicks in the second half.

The girls will play the winner of the Class 3 District 11 champion (either Glendale or Nixa) in the sectional game next Tuesday. The time and location of that match have not been determined yet.

Girls Beat Central, 6-2; Advance to District Final

May 18th, 2011 by Coach Nurnberg 1 comment »

The Parkview girls’ soccer team will play in its first district championship in 11 years Thursday after winning its semifinal match versus Central High School, 6-2.

The semi-final proved to be a real challenge. Our senior-laden squad had to cope with a feisty Central team after just having been graduated from high school the night before. More than a couple of the girls never really shook off their sluggish start to the game, which was understandable but enervating nevertheless for the Parkview head coach.

The girls persevered, however, and Kelsey Loderhose delivered a career performance, scoring five goals on the night in clinical fashion. Molly Robb added the sixth goal in the last couple minutes of the game, as well as two assists. Emma Chilton also recorded an assist in the game.

Former head coach and Parkview legend Ron Tate shared today that the girls’ team made the district final in 1998 and 1999, losing both games to Kickapoo.

Parkview will face Joplin for the Class 3 District 12 championship 6:30 PM Thursday at Harrison Stadium.
