W&M Scrimmage

Varsity will be scrimmaging William & Mary, at W&M on Barksdale Field on Sunday April 22, 2012 at 11am. We will meet at Woodside at 9:30am and carpool over. We would like to take as few vehicles as possible, so if we can get just 4-5 players/parents to drive and fill their cars that would be great. Coach Richard will take 3 folks with him.

Shore Tour Info 2

We will be leaving from the school at 4:30am Saturday. Please be there by 4:15 so we can get loaded up and on the road. It is crucial that we leave on time and make any stops extremely quick so that we can get to the fields with sufficient warmup time. The guys will have 4 games and a placement game at the end, there is also a short break for some lunch. The girls will have 4 games with a bye in the middle and also the short lunch break.

Shore Tour Info

This Saturday we will be taking a Girls team and a JV+ team (JV + all varsity players who are juniors and a couple other coaches selections) to Shore Tour in Centreville, MD. This is just a 1 day tournament so all you will need is your ultimate attire, cleats, water, snacks, sunscreen, and a few dollars for something to eat on the way back. The address for Queen Anne's County HS where the tournament will be held is 125 Ruthsburg Road, Centreville, MD 21617. An exact schedule is not out as of this moment so we don't have an exact departure time right now, but we should have one to announce at practice Thursday and we will post it up here as soon as possible. If you haven't gotten a field trip permission form from Chappell go see him immediately.

Parent Meeting

We will have a parent meeting on Monday April 30, 2012 at 6pm in Coach Chappells Room. We will be discussing the state tournament on May 12-13. Part of the meeting will be getting parents to sign up for volunteer help in running the tournament. We need parents at this meeting so please make sure you show this to your parents if you haven't already.

Dues

Those of you who have yet to pay your spring dues need to do so, if you don't remember how much look back to our parent meeting recap in February for the details. We are setting a final payment deadline for spring dues of Friday April 27, 2012.

Southerns Info 1

Woodside Guys and Girls have both been extended bids to play at the innaugural HS Southerns on May 19-20, 2012 in Chattanooga, TN.

First and foremost, you need to decide if you are attending, this is the same weekend as prom so you Seniors need to make a decision. You need to make this decision now if you ask 2 weeks prior to the event the answer is no. This is tied to the fact that we need to do our rostering by April 20, 2012, so if you haven't completed your USAU you need to go do it ASAP so you can be put on the roster.

Second, there is a $30 per player fee for the tournament entry fee. As we stated in the parents meeting and here on the blog this fee was not built in to dues because bids were not certain. This fee needs to be in no later than Monday April 23 at the end of practice. Please make any checks out to Richard Rudnicki and give your payment to Coach Richard so that he can send payment to USAU.

Third, there will be an additional as yet determined fee to cover vans, hotels, gas, etc for the tournament. We are looking to keep this as small as possible and are looking at some fundraising options to do prior to the tournament to help offset the costs. We will get an exact amount as quickly as possible.

Fourth, if you haven't played your club dues yet you need to do so. Part of the reason we aren't sure the exact cost is because so many people haven't paid dues yet. Get your dues in ASAP.

We will continue to provide more info as we get closer.
