July 26, 2006

I want to start off by wishing Stephanie Zare and Norah Swanson the best of luck this week. They are competing for a national championship in Des Moines, Iowa with the U-19 Eclipse Select and the U-17 Mustang Blast respectively. They each helped their club teams win tough regional tournaments and are looking to come into preseason as 2006 national champions.

Also this week we will hold our summer soccer camp. Elaina, Laura, Jordan, Vanessa, and I are excited for the transition from player to coach and to meet prospective Hoyas.

In two weeks our hard summer training will be put to the test when we begin our first fitness test in New Jersey. Games of catch phrase, sharing of funny summer stories and all out team bonding is just around the corner.
