1 Day Tournament Cancelled

Sorry to do this but the 1 day tournament for this Sunday has been cancelled. LC Bird has backed out on us and since they were hosting that ends the whole thing. Sorry for the last minute notice and the not so fun end to the fall season.

Everyone get signed up for winter league if you can, its a great chance to play and get better, we will see everyone back to practice in the spring probably around mid February.

1 day tournament - Sunday, 12-16-12

We will be attending a 1 day tournament this coming Sunday, 12-16-12 in Chesterfield, VA. We apologize for the delay in getting information online, it has been a little slow coming in though. We have had it listed on the calendar for a little while now though.

The tournament will be held at Harry G. Daniel Park, 6600 White Pine Rd., North Chesterfield, VA 23237

Games will last from approximately 9am-4pm, we are expecting to have 3 or 4 games.

We will be bringing all JV players that are able to attend and supplementing with a few Varsity players to make sure we have a solid number. We have a 15 passenger van lined up and would like to have a couple parents to help drive as needed.

We will meet at Woodside at 6:30am and leave at 6:45am that should get us to the fields by 8-8:15am to allow us time to warm up.

Players will need to bring the usual stuff, white and dark jersey/shirt, cleats, other proper attire, water, snacks. They will also need $5-10 for a dinner stop on the way home.

Tidewater Tuneup Stats

Stats from this weekends Tidewater Tuneup. Our biggest problem was we averaged almost 1 turnover per point this weekend. We can't give teams that many opportunities and expect to be as competitive as desired. Looking further in our 3 losses we had 60 turnovers in 50 points or 1.2 turnovers per point, in our 4 wins we had 50 turnovers in 64 points or .78 turnovers per point. The better we are at maintaining possession the more chance we have of wining.
