Hi everyone –

GAMES

We finally have our game schedule. We will be playing all our games on Saturdays at Mercer Middle School's 'Jefferson Field' (1600 S. Columbian Way 98108). It's close to the VA hospital. The schedule is on our website ( http://www.piratepixies.org ). There are at least 2 home games for which we'll need someone to referee. I will get those to you soon.

PRACTICES

Our practice schedule will be Tuesday 5-6:15 (with ISS coach) and Thursday 5:15 – 6:30pm – both at Thurgood Marshall School Field. I know this is a bit confusing, but it's an attempt to meet the scheduling needs of ISS and some of our families.

Our first practice is Tuesday, September 2^nd. It will also be our first practice with our ISS coach. Saturday, September 6^th will be our first game.

ROSTER

I've attached our current roster – let me know if there are any corrections or changes to your contact information.

COMMUNICATION

Ben sends this info for easy communication:

If you'd like to email the team you can do so (piratepixies@googlegroups.com )
You can also use team@piratepixies.org or team@piratepixies.com - these just forward to the googlegroups.com address.
If any girls want Pixies email addresses, Ben has offered to set this up, too.

Isn't he amazing?

MULA

Please write two checks in the next week to cover the ISS coach. You can give them to Ben or me.

1) $15 to Karin Hirschfeld (for $150 down payment)

2) $25 to ISS

SNACK SCHEDULE

We'll circulate that next week. Can someone take this on to cover all the games and remind people? Thanks!

THANKS!

I am excited to see everyone again and begin our season. How lucky we are to have such a great set of gals and families! If you have the time, dust off your soccer ball and practice a bit with your Pixie. This year's focus will be to get them to look up a little and see more of the field, find open space, and work on passing, receiving, dribbling, shooting and shielding. The most important part, of course, is for them to have fun and experience the benefits of working together well on a team. Yeah!

See you Tuesday – let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Karin

Hi everyone -
I hope you are having a great finale to your summer. We have heard
that our practices will be Tuesday/Thursday at Thurgood Marshall
School field. Our time slot is between 5 – 6:30. I would like our
practices to go for 1 hour and 15 minutes this year. We will be
sharing the field/time slot with the Mighty Rainbow Cheetahs – a nice
group of gals. The field is on the I-90 lid, just off MLK. It's
lumpy and goal-less, but quite big and rarely wet.

If you have a strong preference for starting at 5 and ending at 6:15
pm vs. starting at 5:15 and ending at 6:30 pm, let me know. As we
discussed in the spring, we will have an ISS coach for one of these
practices for an hour. We should find out the details this week.
This will be an additional cost of around $40.

Practice will start Tuesday, September 2. I'll send a reminder with
the exact time (5 or 5:15) soon. I will pass on our game schedule as
soon as I get it as well.

Enough business – WE"RE EXCITED for the upcoming season!!! Ben and I
feel so lucky that our team has stayed together and are looking
forward to having fun and supporting their fabulous spirited teamwork.

Let me know your questions and preferences - more soon.

Thanks

Karin
