TA: Rachael Thomas

We have just started the third session of indoor games and training.  The last day for indoor training is Monday March 28. There will no training on Monday March 21 due to the week off for spring break.

First day of outdoor training will be Monday April 5. This team will train on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-7:30 at Hallmark Training fields by gas station like you did last year. Spring is a crazy weather season so kids may practice in the rain, may be asked to come to Hallmark for practice inside or practice may be canceled due to the weather. The players will practice in the cold so please make sure they are dressed accordingly. Please remember that kids should wear white and black practice gear on Tuesday and all blue on Thursdays. Last day of outdoor training will depend on last league game.

Spring season is an 8 game season. This team will also be playing in two tournaments. The tournaments are: The Best of the Midwest in Lowell, Memorial Day weekend. The Watermelon tournament in Rockford June 11 and 12. More info for tournaments when they get closer. I am in need of someone to look for hotels for the Watermelon tourney. I have 5 teams going so if you are interested in looking for hotels for this team or all teams please let me know. Opening weekend of Spring season is the first weekend in May. Games may be scheduled into April if clubs agree on it. I go this Sunday March 13 to make the schedule. Games can be Saturdays or Sundays and maybe during the week. If a game is scheduled during the week I will do my best to get it scheduled on a training day. I will forward you a schedule when it becomes available online to everyone. This shows me as a club rep that NISL has finalized it and no changes should be made.


For home games players should wear white jersey black shorts and white socks and away games all blue.  Always bring both jerseys with you to games. Players are expected to be at all games 30 minutes prior to kick off ready to warm up.

Rachael Thomas is going to continue to be the TA for this team. If your player will not be making practice please let her know so she can contact me or Jereme. If your player will not be making a game please let her know sooner then later so if we need to find another player to help we can.

Most emails from me I will ask her to pass on to the team. She will also be sending out game confirmations with directions when they become available. Regular questions that may have to do with practices or games please ask Rachel, if you are unsure of how your player is doing or need something else please contact me.  Tryouts for the Indiana Magic 2011/2012 seasons will be at Soccerville on Oct. 17- 19th More details when it gets closer. As always if you have any questions of any sort or if you think I forgot something please let me know.
