Todays game

Beckwith park is off of high Quadra.
If you travel into Victoria from Sooke, turn left on Mckenzie Ave
Stay on Mckenzie until you can turn onto the Pat Bay Highway heading away from Victoria (towards the ferries)
Take the Quadra st turn off and veer to the right on Quadra.
Turn left on Beckwith which will be only a couple of blocks up Quadra
Travel a couple blocks down Beckwith and you'll see the fields on your right.  Parking is always tight there so you may have to park on the road.

See ya there:)

Game this weekend

Hey Tidalwaves!
We play this weekend, October 30th at 11am at Beckwith park.  I'll post a map/directions later but Beckwith intersects with Quadra near the pat bay hwy.

Good news is we get a sleep in!

Rain rain go away...

Fields were closed all day Monday due to standing water on them.  Hopefully they re-open today.  Please check field status before you head to the fields.

No practice Friday

There is no practice on Friday night as discussed after Tuesday's practice.  See you all Saturday:)

This week in Soccer

Hey team!  2 games for us this weekend in the Lower Island Soccer Fall Festival!

Game 1 is at 11am vs. JDF (a different team from the team we played on the weekend)
Game 2 as at 1pm vs. Gorge
For both games, please be there 1/2 hour early so we can get organized and warmed up.  Both games are at our home field:)
See you all at practice tonight!  We'll be scrimmaging for the whole practice and working on our team shape and positioning!

What a great day for soccer!

The sun is shining and although the ground is frosty it'll be a beauty day for a little footy!

See you all at 8:30!

***update***

Tough game girls.  We're playing teams that have been playing 6 aside soccer for 2 years now.  So they've been working on spreading out and passing for a lot longer than us.  We will be just as good, if not better for the 2nd half of the season:)  We just need to keep working hard at practice and trying to learn about the game as much as we can.  We can chalk that game up to experience;)  Enjoy the pics!

I love the smiles on your faces:)

Thanks for the great shots Tanya!

Game this weekend (and schedule)

Hey Team!

Our game this weekend is a home game against Juan de Fuca.  We should be a 9am start but I will confirm that as soon as the weekend field schedule is done.  The link for the season schedule is here and I'll post it out on this site but sorry, just haven't had time yet.

Good practice last night!  See you Saturday:)

directions to game

We have a late kick off on Saturday.  Game time is 11:15 and we play at Glanford (see map).  Please be there at the field ready to warm up by 10:45.
Directions:
Follow the transcanada hwy towards Victoria.  Turn left onto Mckenzie.  Turn left on Glanford and make a right about a block up onto Kenneth.  You'll see the playing field on the corner of Glanford and Kenneth and there is parking along Kenneth.
There are washrooms at the field:)

Have a great game!  Listen to Bruce and Sergio who'll be coaching for the day!  Please send some pics for the site!  Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Game this weekend

The schedule was just re-released from Lower Island Soccer!  I'll get it all posted as soon as I get a chance but this weekends game is against Prospect Lake.  Usually they'll play their games at Beckwith park but I'll confirm that with the opposing coach on Wednesday.

Great Pics Tanya, thanks!

Awesome 1st game!

Wow!  Great energy and enthusiasm!  We scored some very good goals and so did the other team.  It's ok to get scored on.  It's going to happen a lot but we just have to make sure we're always learning from each time the other team scores.  Particularly our defenders and midfield.  We'll learn about staying goal-side and not allowing the other teams forwards to get free and shoot.

I promise, we'll get very good at spreading out and using the whole field.  There's a lot of room out there so once we learn to use all the space we'll see more posession of the ball and be able to move it forward easier.

That being said, I thought it was a very good first game.  There was some excellent passing and overall I think we really out-hustled the Lakehill side so great job!

I appreciate your patience as I'm trying to learn all of the players and parents names.  It may take me a few weeks but i'll figure you all out eventually:)

If there are any pics of the game, please send them to canjay@telus.net and i'll post them!
