The 2009 Stingers women's soccer season is underway ! Yup, we got started last night with our oreintation meeting, fitness testing and a short practice. A small group of athletes have come together this year which will limit the cuts required BUT will allow us to start putting certain plans in place quite quickly. It has been a somewhat weird off-season with a number of potential returnees choosing not to return added to a few other players not back for personal reasons or injury.
Safe to say that this year's success will ride on the backs of our returning core but will also depend on a certain amount of 1st year players stepping up and making an impact quickly. These first days are more about observation and evaluation than about actually coaching although as coaches we never waste a moment to send a message or correct a glaring error when there is one. We continue to train throughout the week and should name the final roster by end of Thursday's session. However this year, very possible we leave a roster spot open for a late arrival at school that might be able to help us. Preseason games start Saturday and Sunday as we host a back to back against Ryerson and my buddy Peyvand. and they are off.......
