Weekly Update


Recap
Congratulations to our 2012 captains Samantha Sabetti, Gianna Tucker and Chandler Lemay.You all made excellent selections in your choice of leaders.  I know they will represent you, the team and our school well.  We had another great week of practice and ended the week with our Injury Fund game against Cranston East with a 16-10 Varsity victory!  JV also played well and ended up with a victory.  Great team efforts all around!  Please bring your injury fund money to practice Monday ($1 per athlete) as I forgot to collect this on Friday.  The conditioning we are doing at practice is starting to pay off.  Your overall speed and endurance is improving.  Make the time to get a run in over the weekend to maintain your conditioning.  Remember to warm up with some dynamic stretches before running to avoid injury. 

This Week’s Plans
Our regular season officially starts this week with a home game (white jerseys) against Pilgrim on April 4 at 3:45Team pictures will be taken prior to the game.  Athletes must arrive at the field by 2:30 for pictures.  JV will play immediately following the varsity contest.  There will be a pasta party on April 3 at Erica’s house immediately after practice.  Temperatures are expected to be in the mid 50’s this week (weather).  Be prepared and wear warm layers to practice  and to the game this week.  

Game Schedule Change
Our home game against Tiverton originally scheduled for April 18 @ 3:45 has been moved to April 23 @ 3:54.  This change has been reflected on the web page.  The JV schedule has also been posted. 

Team Jackets / Uniforms
Jackets for the new players have been ordered and should be ready by early next week.  Remember all athletes must wear BLACK spandex under their uniform.  Long sleeve and long length pants are recommended in the early part of the season.
