Dear MUSC U-9 Boys Academy Families,

Ø Training will also take place this Wednesday, May 11^th and will be held from 4:00pm – 5:30pm at the Brookdale Park Stadium

Ø Our optional small-sided game (4 v. 4) training session will be held this Friday, May 13^th from 4:00pm – 5:15pm also at the Brookdale Stadium location.

Team Captain Announcement

Ø  The coaches are implementing a process to select a captain each week based on hard work and sportsmanship in practice.  The weekly captain(s) will get to wear the Captain’s armband for the game and represent the team in the "coin toss."  For this past week, the Titan’s Gianluca Bellomo and the Barracudas’ Harrison Hunter were the recipients of this honor.  Congratulations to Gianluca and Harrison!  Our Red Bulls coaches will determine the team captains for next Sunday’s games at this weeks’ practice sessions!

Reminders for All Outdoor training sessions -  'Look like a soccer player, feel like a soccer player'

Ø  Soccer shirt (the blue MUSC shirt from the fall), soccer shorts (the white shorts from the fall), long soccer socks worn OVER shin pads and soccer cleats.  Please feel free to have your boys put on layers if it is cool (i.e. put the blue MUSC shirt over a sweatshirt) and to wear sweatpants instead of shorts.

Ø Please bring plenty of cold water for your child and/or sports drinks.

Warm regards,

Charlie, Bill and Pam
