Some Much Needed Rest
Dear Players (and soccer family),
Today is the start of 10 days of rest. I know that some of you are going on vacation, some to camp and some just working & hanging out. Regardless of what you do, I AM ASKING THAT YOU USE THESE DAYS TO REST.
Enjoy these next 10 days by NOT playing soccer and NOT running. To stay in shape.....go swimming or biking. This gives your legs and feet a nice rest while still working on your cardio.
This rest period is given so that you can just forget about soccer for a couple weeks and rejuvenate your mind and body. PLAIN AND SIMPLE....GO HAVE FUN.
As you have fun, keep our core values in mind and make smart decisions for your life. Be a leader amongst your peers doing the right things. Help your family around the house.
I look forward to seeing you at Open Field on July 5th, but until then......BE SMART AND SAFE.
FOR SOCCER,
Coach Ric
P.S. If you are going to buy new cleats for the fall season, get them now so that you have plenty of time to break them in before tryouts.
