Cancellation of Tonight’s Practices (3/6)

March 6th, 2008

Coach Bilbao has been watching the weather, and has decided to cancel tonight’s practices.  We try to use a standard of around 40 degrees to be outside.  Tonight at training time, it is forecasted to be 32-34 degrees, and a wintry mix.  Hopefully this will be the last of the snow and sleet, and we get back to Spring temperatures starting next week.

Windball in Wichita

March 3rd, 2008

Congratulations to the U-19 team who advanced to the Finals in the tournament this past weekend.  After a one-hour delay in start time, a 15-minute lightning delay just before the kickoff, and wind and rain, the championship game was ended because of lightning shortly after starting the second half, with our team down 0-2.  However, a second place finish was just fine, in that we were finally able to get on the road home, ahead of the storms.

Congratulations also to the U-16 and U-17 teams for great play for our first tournament together.

I just learned a few minutes ago that Lakes Country is without power and will be closed tonight.  Therefore, we will have to cancel practice.  Sorry.

Second, if the weather stays as forecasted, Coach Bilbao plans to move practice outside on Thursday.  Please check the hotline after 7:00 Wednesday night.
