Club Pink Parents:  It was great to have the girls in a game situation on
Sunday to see how the team works together. For our first game, I was
generally pleased with the effort and glad to beat a good Check it Out "A"
team. I see this team as having many role players and overall being more
athletic than in past seasons. So we should be able to compete well against
anyone. Lilly Paro was outstanding in the goal and we all owe her a big
thanks for stepping up for us!! Let's hope she will consider doing it again
if needed and her schedule allows!

A few things:

1)      We will hold practice tomorrow at 5:00 at St.Barts. Please have the
girls bring their reversible pinnies. If your daughter is new and has not
received a uniform yet, please make sure to ask me at practice. I believe
Kathryn M. and Jenna H. are the only two without uniforms, but please
correct me if I am wrong. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOUR DAUGHTER CANNOT ATTEND.

2)      Our game on Sunday is at 4:00 to 5:00 against Bethesda's Totorici A
at Burning Tree ES. This is only 3 or 4 miles from Holy Child, but please
leave time to find the school and plan on arriving no later than 3:45.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOUR DAUGHTER CANNOT ATTEND.

3)      We have been asked to scrimmage a good STEPS team in McLean on
Sunday November 13, from 4:00 to 6:00. Please take a look at your calendar
and let me know if this would work for you. This would be just a fun game
against a team we might see in tournament play. This is obviously a couple
weeks after the end of our season.

4)      I am looking at two possible tournaments that will likely require a
full day commitment:

1)      The Brine Indian Summer Tourney in Jarrettsville, MD (10 miles north
of Towson, MD). It is Saturday October 22nd and for U13 and U15 girls only.
I have heard good things about this tournament, but never played in it.  

2)      The New World Lacrosse tournament that we played in last year is
held at Holy Cross on Sunday November 20th for 8th grade teams.

Please take a look at your schedules and let me know your availability on
each of these 2 dates. We could play in both tournaments if the headcount is
strong enough. But I am trying to lock us into at least one ASAP. If you
know of any other tourneys worth considering, please send me info and we
will take a look.

Please respond to the Q's above ASAP. And let me know if I am forgetting to
address anything. Thanks!!

Subject: Club Pink - CLUB PINK GAME SUNDAY + NEW GOALIE DILEMMA

Club Pink - 

1)      Our game this Sunday is at 2:00 at Holy Child against Check it Out.
Please arrive 15 minutes early so we can get a proper warm up.

2)      If you are new and were not at practice Wednesday to receive a
uniform, please find me when you arrive on Sunday and I will bring what
uniforms I have left. However, also make sure that every player brings their
pinny in case we need to play as pink not white. Our skorts are dark blue
and so if you do not have a uniform, please wear dark blue shorts if
possible.

3)      As many of you noticed, our goalie, Caity, was not at our last 2
practices. She and her dad have never once given any indication that she
could not commit and attend our practices and games. In fact, one week ago
today her dad sent me this email "I think we have gotten all the kinks
worked out of the tutor, Yoga, trainer other practices.. schedule so she
will be able to be there from here out.  I look forward to meeting you on
Sunday."

So when she did not show up on Sunday I started emailing and calling him
right away. I did not get a response until he responded by phone just now.
He now says that Caity has chosen to play for Next Level in the new WALL
league in Germantown (which finally released its schedule on Monday). She
had played for Next Level two years ago and has at least one friend there.
He also said that Next Level games perfectly coincide with our CP games, and
so playing both will not work. This is obviously very disappointing. But we
must move forward. 

And so I ask if anyone has a line on any goalies that might wish to join our
team, please let me know ASAP. Alternatively, we will need two of our
players to step up and play at least a half of each game until we find a
replacement. I know some of our kids have stepped in the goal before very
effectively for our team.

4)      I am working with a select team coach from McLean who wants to
scrimmage us one weekend this season. I will let you know when we have
circled in on some dates/times.

Please let me know about any possible goalie prospects ASAP. We coaches
(Jackie, Mark and I) are looking forward to Sunday. 

Thanks.
