CP Parents - 

1) First, I want to commend the five girls that carried the day last Sunday.
Caroline, May, Finnegan, Mary Kate and Hannah realized that they needed to
step up, play smart and aggressive to beat the Rockville Green team. We also
picked up a 6th player from Next Level as the game was starting, which
allowed us to at least play even (she also wishes to try out for CP this
Spring). These girls were warriors from the first whistle to the last. They
fought for every ground ball and dug deep, even when exhausted at the end of
the game to win handily. They played with focus and purpose, and showed that
the game meant something to them. If we can bring this mentality to all of
our games, we will be difficult to beat. Great job!

FYI, I had coached my 5th/6th grade team earlier in the day against the
Rockville Green middle school team. The Rockville team was stacked with
their best players and 6 or 7 subs, and came out fired up to beat us. For
some reason my girls did not respond like they normally do, and got beat.
Granted they were playing against older girls, however, they still could
have played much more competitively than they did. I mention this for 2
reasons: first I believe the Rockville Green team is their best team for
each age group, and second, the fighting spirit is what wins games. For me
it remains a mystery why on some days girls refuse to lose and on other
days, it just doesn't matter! I believe that internal team leadership is
part of the answer. If players from within the team can ignite each other,
it makes a big difference. I will keep asking all of our girls to become
leaders and to not be afraid to be the first to be heard. A few girls have
responded to this request, but not enough! And any parent assistance in
making this happen is much appreciated!!

2) Our game is Sunday at 1:00. PLEASE CONFIRM NOW WHETHER YOUR DAUGHTER CAN
PLAY.

3) I have heard from nearly all of you about practice days. Tuesday is the
clear winner and so I sent an email to the St. Barts school confirming that
we will practice this spring on Tuesdays 5:30 to 7:00. I have not yet
received confirmation, but will report back when I do.

Please let me know if u have any questions. Thanks!!

Brad
