What a spring! We lost no games, allowed no goals and yet we may not win our division championship - oh well. The good news is that the team has been playing solid, quality soccer and you can’t ask for more than that. Everyone should be proud of the effort they made.

Practice will be on Fridays from 4:30pm to 6:00pm behind the Murray Ave bleachers. The other possible day we may add on occasion is Wednesday.  Spring league games will be on Sunday afternoons with  start times between 1pm and 4pm.  The first game will be Sunday March 29 at 1:00pm at our home field.

We may enter either the EPIC tournament on the weekend of May 8 -10 (Mothers Day)  or we may play a one-day tournament at VE on June 20 or 21st (Fathers Day).  I have not yet made a final decision regarding tournaments. We have a scrimmage game against VE at VE on Friday April 3 at 6:00pm.  Please put it on the calendar.

During the spring season we will try new things and start planning for the fall.  There will be some new faces with guest players added for an extended tryout and not everyone from last fall will be playing with the spring team. Regular tryouts will also be held during the spring for the fall 2009 squad.

Spring soccer will be priced at $75 and will include some nice extras. Please make checks out to “HV Thunder Soccer.”

The first session of indoor soccer came to an end this week with a strong performance by the team during the playoffs. While we did not win a championship, the team played some real high-level soccer. They call soccer “the beautiful game” and the team showed why through brilliant passing,  good movement off the ball and strong finishing. As you can tell I am extremely proud of the girls.

The second session of indoor soccer starts this Tuesday at 8:00pm.  Please be at the facility by 7:45 so that we can get a quick warm-up in before we play.  For those who did not participate in the first session, you can and are encouraged to wear cleats on the turf field.
