Welcome to the Tidal Wave Blog
Note from the Coach:
I have been able to arrange a practice next week at Soccer Central to give the girls a feel for the indoor field they will be playing on. The practice is scheduled for:
Wednesday, 10 Jan
5:30 – 6:30 pm (show time 5 pm)
Soccer Central, Watsonville
I would like everyone to show up a little early (preferably around 5 pm) so that I can go over some of the differences of the indoor game. This will also give us a chance to have the pictures taken for the girls’ Soccer Central membership cards. The directions to the facility are as follows and can be found at http://www.soccercentralindoor.com/index.html.
TO SOCCER CENTRAL FROM MONTEREY - on Highway 1 North, take the Green Valley Road exit. From the off-ramp, turn right on Green Valley Road. Turn right on Main Street. Go through 1 stoplight, at the second stoplight turn right on Ohlone Parkway. A shopping center will be on your left side. At the 3-way stop, turn left on Harkins Slough Road which takes you behind the shopping center. After the shopping center, you will see Soccer Central on your left. Turn left into the parking lot.
The practice on Wednesday will allow us to shorten tomorrow’s practice a little… we will practice for an hour and a half: 0930-1100. In addition to the indoor fee and the Soccer Central liability forms, I will also be getting sizes for the indoor t-shirts. Youth sizes available are small (size 6-8), medium (10-12), and large (14-16).
Also… as a general policy for the team, please let me know ahead of time if you will not be able to attend a practice (or game). Thanks!
See you tomorrow,
Owens

Happy New Year! Sure hope everyone enjoyed the holidays. Good news - we have two more players who have joined us! Alicia Cuevas and Hannah Martinez bring our roster to 11 and will be excellent additions to our team.
The indoor soccer season is right around the corner. Although we have not received the team schedule yet, I anticipate that our first game will be Saturday, 13 Jan. We will have one more outdoor practice this Saturday (6 Jan) from 0930-1130 to let the girls get to know each other a little more and begin to work together. The practice will be on the same Ft Ord field we played on last month.
On the administrative front.... I will plan to collect the $100 for the indoor season on Saturday. As we discussed earlier, this will cover the team registration fee, the individual Soccer Central membership fees, and game t-shirts as well as balls, pinnies, etc. For now, please plan to make the check out to me, "Owens Walker." I have also attached the Soccer Central youth liability form which I would like to collect on Saturday as well.
The Spring registration is also (believe it or not!), rapidly approaching. I hope to be able to distribute the comp-level registration forms at Saturday's practice and then collect them the next week. Once we have submitted all the registrations and the girls have received their "travel cards," we will register the team with the league. As I mentioned earlier, I will meet with the Monterey County Football Club board this month.
I have also attached a copy of the Spring Catalyst Newsletter. I recommend the spring Premier Development Program and the girls should (at a minimum) plan to attend the play dates at York. These are typically very good training sessions.
Saturday, February 17th @ York School, MontereySunday, February 25th @ York School, MontereyFor both dates:U9 (ages 6-8): 9 – 11amU11 (ages 9-10): Noon - 2 pm
As always, please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions.
See you on Saturday!

Congratulations to all the girls and welcome to our Monterey Girls U-10 Soccer Team!
The girls played well yesterday and I look forward to exciting indoor and outdoor seasons this year. The following girls will form the initial foundation of our team:
Joslyn Alaniz
McKenna Davey
Morgan Davey
Amanda Hall
Laura (Lamby) Kreeger
Meghan Paulo
Lauren Salvati
Victoria Walker
Collette White
I have tentatively scheduled an outdoor practice for the team 0930-1130 on 6 January at the same Ft. Ord soccer field. At this point we have enough girls to play, but we will be looking for several more to round out the team. I will also work to setup an indoor practice session before the season begins to give the girls a feel for the indoor field (it is fast-paced and fun to play on!). The indoor season starts on 13 January and will run through 4 March. Here is a link to the indoor facility, Soccer Central, where we will play: http://www.soccercentralindoor.com/index.html. I anticipate that we will play Saturdays. It is not my plan, at this point, to have any practices during the indoor season. As we discussed, the fees for the indoor season will be approximately $100. This will include both the team registration as well as the player registration with Soccer Central and will allow us to purchase T-shirts, pinnies, a few balls, etc. I would like to plan to begin collecting the fees after the holidays.
This indoor season will serve as a stepping stone to the outdoor season in the spring. I expect to meet with the Monterey County Football Club Board in January to petition to join the club. The club’s U-12 girls team (Gale Force) has offered their assistance and will serve as an informal “sister” team. Gary Kreeger and Marjan Davey will help coach the team. For your reference, my contact info is as follows:

Please feel fee to call me if you have any questions. Also, please send me a quick reply to this note to let me know I have the e-mail addresses correct – thanks. Have a great holiday season. I look forward to seeing everyone on the 6th!
Again, congratulations to all the girls!
