Our Team Philosophy is that the practice environment is the best place to look at potential players to see if they are ready and interested in moving to competitive soccer. The Tidal Wave 97 (U10 Girls) and Tidal Wave 96 (U11 Girls) will practice Mondays and Wednesdays, 4 – 5:30 pm at the Hayes Park soccer fields. We will also be holding intra-squad scrimmages for the players on Saturdays in March (10 – 11:30 am at Hayes Park as well). Our practices begin Monday, 3 March.
Please note that the birthdates for your children should fall into one of these two categories, if they do not, we can direct you to other teams with in the Monterey County Futbol Club that would fit your child's age range.
Birthdate ranges:
U10: 8/1/97 – 7/31/98
U11: 8/1/96 – 7/31/97

Spring Registration 08 & Housekeeping
Hi Tidal Wave Families & Potential Tidal Wave Families – Though we have been some what “silent” during the Indoor season, Owens, Roy and I, as well as the new managers and Gary have been busily working behind the scenes getting organized for the upcoming Season(s).
Yes, it’s a LONG note, so save for future reference and I will try to be as thorough as I can in as few words as possible!
U10 Indoor Schedule Update
This weekend’s 9:05 AM game moved to Sunday 2/24 at 5:20pm confirmed
Spring Registration is Due Soon!
We will be gathering up Spring Registration forms at Indoor Games. If one of the managers has not tracked you down, please be sure to ask them for a registration form to sign. Also we will need new head shot pictures of your daughters; managers please bring digital camera to indoor game in order to have up to date photos of the girls for their new game cards.
Spring Practice Schedule
Practice will begin Monday March 3rd and continue on Monday’s and Wednesday’s from 4-5:30
As well as Saturday’s in March from 10 – 11:30 (until Spring Season Begins first week of April) at Hayes Park Field (where we practiced last Spring)
Roy emphasized, Saturday’s will be focused on fun and game day prep! For new folks or to refresh everyone’s memories: Saturday’s we’ll have mini-tournaments and we keep them as much play- like and as little practice-like as possible. We will have them warm up as they would for a game, so they know what is expected for a pre-game warm up, i.e. drills, stretches etc. Eventually we want game captains to lead most of the warm up both during practice and then the games as well. The idea is to put more of the responsibility of what happens on the field on the girls.
Parents Meeting
Mandatory Parent's meeting after practice on Wednesday, 5 Mar. 5:30 – 6:00 PM. We will go over our expectations of parents as well as answer questions you may have. Bring ideas for raising money and how you would like to participate to help our team.
The Naming of the Team: From here on out, including and most importantly on registration forms
U10's will be "MCFC Tidal Wave 97G"
U11's will be "MCFC Tidal Wave 96G."
Fundraising Ideas, Suggestions encouraged and welcomed
Sell Team sweatshirts and ball caps to parents and players
Sell flower bulbs. We keep 50%.
Car washes with the girls doing the washing. Pre-sell tickets so that we get the money even if they don’t come. If done at a busy location for most of the day can often raise $500-$1000.
Film Review by Roy
We will take one of the practices and sit down with each team individually to go over the film of a past team of Roy’s (so they are not embarrassed by comments) for about 30 minutes to look at game tape. Roy really wants them to work this season on thinking more about decision making
Guest Trainers/Goalie Training
One Friday in March probably Mar 7 or 14 probably from 4-6, we will be having a guest Goalie Trainer from Santa Cruz, Annemarie Hennes, who has extensive experience, to work with our goalies. If your daughter has played goalie or is interested in receiving additional training in the position, please let me know if the 7th and 14th would work for you. Through out the season we will plan on bringing in other guest trainers as our budgets allow. We will also be bring in a woman running coach, who would be willing to work with the girls; in both these circumstances we have paired up with our Sister MCFC teams, the Gale Force (U13G) and Hurricanes (U12G) to help keep the cost reasonable. We will pay our portion out of our MCFC Tidal Wave account. Our thoughts on guest trainers is that it is good for the players to periodically see different coaching styles. We can also achieve this by having the girls participate in camps and "play days" like those put on by Catalyst/MCFC
Catalyst Monterey County Futbol Club Soccer Play Days
February 16 @ York School, Monterey
February 24 @ York School, Monterey
U11 (ages 9-10) from 12 - 2
U13 (ages 11-12) from 3 - 5 pm
MCFC will be using the Catalyst Play Days as tryouts for their club teams. Roy, Owens, Gary, Mike, and I will all be out on the fields scouting for girls that are interested on kicking their game up to another level. Both the U10 & U11 teams will need a roster of 16 for the Spring and Fall seasons, as they will both be playing 11v11 from here on out. Each team currently has 13 players, so we need to add another 3 gals with great attitudes and strong work ethic to complement our existing teams. If you would like to bring your daughter our for one of the play days, they are a fun way to spend the day. The more eyes the better too!
The age ranges for your reference are:
U-10 Team must be born between:
8/1/97 – 7/31/98
U11 Team must be born between:
8/1/96 – 7/31/97
I will post all of this information to the blog, and please feel free to contact any of us listed below with questions you may have. See you on the soccer fields!
