Coach's Adidas Cup Summary
|
I was pleased with the progress the girls made during the
course of the adidas cup. For team 1, we started out very slowly and unsure
of ourselves (yea, we played ugly), part of that was nerves the other just
getting used to each other and the roles they had on the field. With each
game and a small change in tactics I felt we really began to put things
together. Having only concentrated on defending and some team possession in
training up to now, I was very pleased with the way we ended this weekend.
For team 2, my heart goes out to them, they had the tougher schedule and had
to play with just 17 on the roster, not to mention two players who were sick
all weekend. From the little I was able to see, and from what Mike and Tony
said, I was pleased. Can we do better, yes, will we, yes!
I am looking forward to this next event at Nike and with some games under
our belt, even more progress. Parents, thanks for your support. Players,
continue to work on the things that will make you more successful on the
field. Make sure you pack light (only bring what you will wear), and do not
forget to put all your soccer gear in your carry on bag. Fields will be
soft, bring the longer studs also if you have some. See ya Friday in
Oakland.

I have a few last minute details to cover, and a few reminders:
- Thank you in advance to all the parents volunteering their time at the
Adidas Cup, without Field Marshals, there is no tournament!
- ARRIVAL TIME: We have been given permission to allow the U14 Girls to
check in for the tournament at a later time. Check in at the Double Tree Hotel
in San Jose will be Friday from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon. At this time we will organize
the group and issue equipment. Rosemarie will be picking up our lunches at
Morgan Hill and bringing them up to the hotel, we will either find a park
close by or eat at the hotel, we will decide that on Friday. After lunch and
a short team meeting Bob would like the girls to get checked into their rooms
and get organized, so we can leave for the fields by 3:30 or 4:00.
- EQUIPMENT: All players will receive a practice ball, blue and white
socks, warm-ups, a t-shirt ( t-shirt has not arrived yet) and a team sports
bag. I've had many questions about equipment and sizes. All ODP equipment is
ordered long before we even hold tryouts. So by the time we are delivered
everything for the girls, we get what is ever available and close to what we
need. So I did my best to fill all the orders as best I could. The
warm-ups were not completely filled the way we had hoped and we ended up with
more size large than we should have. So we will have to deal with this on
Friday. We will start with the tallest and work our way down. Hang in there
with us, it will work out.
- TAPE: Any players requiring to be taped will need to bring there own
tape, the trainers will not be provided with it this year. Bring what you
will need for the weekend.
- ROOMING LISTS: We have received your rooming lists from the office, we
will notify you who your room mates are at check. Keep all your valuables
and money with you in your bag, Rose and I will be able to help watch your
things at the field or we can lock them up in the van, but it's a risk to
leave money, especially, in a hotel room.
- FOOD: Breakfast will be provided on both Saturday and Sunday at the
hotel. Dinner for Friday and Saturday evenings will be at Spaghetti Factory
and Fresh Choice. Lunches will be provided Friday, Saturday and Sunday by
Erik's Deli at the fields. (On Friday, ours will be delivered, as mentioned
above.) The meals have all been paid for and we have all your coupons. We
also have coupons for your T-shirt and profile books.
- DRESS CODE: Please read the ODP handbook as this is an important issue.
- CURFEW: In the evenings you will be in your rooms by 9:30, and lights
out by 10:00, unless Bob has instructed you otherwise. These are the rules
at Regional Camp, so it's a good time to get used to that routine.
- PHONE USE: There is a block put on all the phones in the rooms, so you
will not be able to make long distance calls. You can use a calling card or
the pay phones in the lobby, just try to be courteous to your room mates.
- VANS: We will be transporting everyone one in vans to and from the
fields. Everyone should always ride with the same driver all weekend, as
this way we will not forget anyone.
Last but not least we want everyone to have a great time, play some awesome
soccer and make a bunch of new friends.I for one, am looking forward to a
great weekend, with some great kids who love this sport as much as I do!!!
In case of last minute emergencies, you will be able to reach me on my cell
phone at 209-xxx-6366. Have a safe trip to San Jose and see you on Friday.

P.S.: Please remember check-in is during a workday in San Jose and traffic is
likely to be heavier than you are used to when traveling to a weekend tournament,
so plan accordingly. That's also worth remembering if you will be driving through
San Jose to watch the girls play at Morgan Hill on Friday afternoon -- both
our teams will be playing at a time in the day when the afternoon rush-hour
traffic will be quite heavy, especially along the route between San Jose and
Morgan Hill.
