FIRST EXHIBITION GAME VS SPRUCE GROVE

We had our first game tonight and boy it was a doozy!   The second year U16 girls team came to Mill Woods and we had a fun filled game to help shake the cobwebs off.  As usual the first game of the season is always an eye opener and this game was no exception.

In the first half of the game SG really came out strong and this surprised the girls with the speed and aggression.  It was certainly time to get back into indoor form.  The second half of the game was another story however.  In true Selects fashion we battled back and actually out played the SG team in the second.

It really was a GREAT game for both teams and certainly what everyone needed to get back into form.

Many thanks to the Spruce Grove coaches and team.  As always we find that Spruce Grove teams are excellent competitors and good sports.  Thanks for hanging out with us today.

TEAM BOTTLE DRIVE

Today we had our first bottle drive for the season. As always the team did a fine job of working hard to raise some team funds.  It sure seemed like everyone had a great time during and after the drive when we went out for dinner.   It was really to see the team bond with new and old teammates.  You girls truly understand the meaning of what a soccer sister is.  You are a great group of truly classy girls!

Good job team!

TRY-OUTS ARE DONE

Wow.... What a tryout this season.  It was very stressful and very hard to make our choices this season.  So many new girls were on the field this season from all over and especially Beaumont FC.  Starting this season the Beaumont clubs are now becoming part of MWSA and this was in our minds a very good thing.

This season we picked up 4 new girls to the team, all of them from Beaumont.  This change in our team has in our opinion, made our team even stronger.

The choices were very hard and for those of you who did not make the team don't lose the faith. We are still going to work with you through the Red Shirt Trialist Program.

See you all soon at practice girls.  Good job on making the team, you really earned it!

PRE-TRYOUT PRACTICES

As always we have put on the pre-tryout practices.  Even though it has only been 10 days since we all saw each other at Outdoor provincials it certainly showed that the girls were glad to be back on the pitch.

We will continue to work with all the existing team and the new hopefuls.  Good luck to you all at tryouts.  Give it your best girls!
