Practice begins

Well, practice begins today for our trip. I hope to see a lot of girls out there so we can get ready for the trip. It's great to see that many (if not all) of them are playing in the summer league. That will help them get used to playing together in preparation for the trip, as there will be a whole new dynamic than what was there during the season. It'll be good for them.

Until next time...

Introduction

Hello and welcome,

I am excited to present this blog to you. The Niles North H.S. girls soccer program is on its biannual summer soccer trip. This year we are off to Gothenburg, Sweden and Hjorring, Denmark. Thirteen players, two parents and two coaches are looking forward to this adventure. We leave in 13 days.

This is the second such trip I've organized. In 2007 our program went for two weeks to Barcelona, Spain and Gothenburg, Sweden. It was such a success that players wanted to be a part of another trip. The plan is to organize a trip every other summer, so that way at least everyone in our program will have the opportunity to go at least once in their high school career.

While I will keep up the blog during our adventure, it is my hope that some of my players will add their own posts as well. Thanks for reading.
