The 14u East team competed in five games this weekend, going 1-4. Though the record isn’t where we wanted it to be, the kids competed hard and played throughout the weekend. We had our first game against the Wallkill Panthers. We started out playing them neck and neck and really didn’t back down. They went…

Entering our second tournament we knew that we would have our hands full playing 5 games in two days. We ended the weekend with a 4-1 record overall, with our lone loss coming against the IYB Blaze, who played our 13u team close that morning. Overall our defense is what won us games. We came…

As most of you now know, I was not at our tournament this weekend due to a personal situation that came up early Thursday morning.  As of now, I am still hospitalized but hope to be out sometime this week and will return to practice.  I thank all of you that helped out this weekend…

Parent and athlete volunteers are needed for this weekend’s tournament.  There will be a sign up sheet at practices for anyone interested in helping out.  You can also email me to let me know you help.  We need help with door, concessions, and clock.  Thanks.

As a reminder, the development group will NOT meet this week on Wednesday as I will be out of town.  We will continue next week on Wednesdays until CCD is over where we will re-assess the entire schedule.  And remember, the development athletes can go to any one of the 11u team practices every week.

The skills development program will begin this Wednesday, April 29, at 5:00pm.  All athletes and parents interested in this program should come on Wednesday.  Athletes should be dressed to workout.  We will discuss the rest of the details then.  Please call or email me if you have any questions.

Hotel informtaion for Hershey and Shippensburg will be available in the next few days.  As of now, we have 75 rooms blocked at the Holiday in Hershey.  This is a great facility for families to stay.  It has a very large outdoor pool and an indoor pool and is centrally located to all of the…

The 14u East team went 1-2 in their 1st tournament, losing by 5 in a comeback effort, and showing that they can turn up the pressure. With the 1st tournament the one thing that I look for as a coach is what did we do good and where can we get better. For the tournament…
