Hi guys, a heads up I just emailed an outline for training today. I have to leave early (5:15) as I'm solo parent this week. See you at Sarzotti.

Gentlemen, I wanted to let you know that tomorrow before our first game I intend to tap Brennan Schmidt as our second captain for this year. I think you would agree that he is completely committed to our team and it success. He has demonstrated on many occasions his value to the team playing in goal with many super saves. Let me know if you have any reservations about that appointment.

May 25, 2018 12:21:43 PM Me

Also, I'm going to let the boys know we will be looking for our third captain over the course of the summer and will make that selection prior to the start of the fall season.

May 25, 2018 12:36:50 PM (Read by you after 1 hour, 20 minutes, 43 seconds) +17147241127

I think that is an excellent choice!

May 25, 2018 12:37:33 PM (Read by you after 1 hour, 20 minutes) +18052180062

I like that choice should help him with his quiet nature.

May 25, 2018 2:51:08 PM (Read by you after 17 minutes, 25 seconds) +18058610919

I agree!

May 25, 2018 2:52:13 PM (Read by you after 16 minutes, 20 seconds) +18053688530

👌

May 25, 2018 3:09:13 PM Me

Fantastic I'm glad everyone agrees. I think he'll be pretty excited about it!

Hi guys, tomorrow's training I would like to work on passing patterns with Andre, slide tackling technique and how to, some small sided games, and a scrimmage.

May 29, 2018 6:59:20 PM (Read by you after 2 hours, 7 minutes, 25 seconds) +17147241127

I believe Andre is out of town tomorrow

May 29, 2018 8:03:58 PM (Read by you after 1 hour, 2 minutes, 47 seconds) +18052180062

Ok, sounds good I'd like to suggest we include more fitness because our quality was conspicuous absent in both of our 2nd games.

Jun 02, 2018 3:12:20 PM (Read by you after 1 hour, 28 minutes, 54 seconds) +18052180062

Good luck tomorrow all we wish you good luck. Donovan and I will not be at scrimmage.

Jun 02, 2018 3:17:27 PM (Read by you after 1 hour, 23 minutes, 47 seconds) +18053688530

Yes the boys are going ..

Jun 02, 2018 3:18:02 PM (Read by you after 1 hour, 23 minutes, 12 seconds) +17147241127

Great, that helps!

Jun 06, 2018 5:51:15 PM Me

Hi Guys, hope you're all doing well. At Thursday's training we'll be working on fitness, rondos focused on possession, passing and first touch, a drill focused on creating and finishing scoring chances in 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 situations.

Jun 06, 2018 5:57:53 PM Me

Boys played well on Sunday, however the 7+ legitimate scoring chances we left unfinished were quite noticeable. We lack clinical finishing ability and a ruthless attitude in front of goal. Also tomorrow I may need to leave training a bit early. I'll know when I get there.

Jun 06, 2018 8:12:22 PM (Read by you after 13 hours, 21 minutes, 8 seconds) +18058610919

Sounds good to me! I'll be there!

Jun 07, 2018 8:57:50 PM (Read by you after 1 hour, 2 minutes, 42 seconds) +17147241127

From Gio and Oswaldo's mom: Hello, good afternoon, sorry for not having answered the messages soon but I had a small family problem and I also had to make an important decision for the kids about soccer, as Osvaldo said and Giovanni was already practicing with Red Star and I wanted to give them the option to play this season with them, and I noticed in the last games that you have enough players and do not reach to play all as a player in the last game and I really felt a bit bad because of that, I would have liked to have you said this in person but I did not have time to see you in practice and I thank you for all the good person you are with our family

Jun 07, 2018 9:02:01 PM (Read by you after 58 minutes, 31 seconds) +18053688530

There's you go how unsurprising

Jun 07, 2018 9:02:03 PM (Read by you after 58 minutes, 29 seconds) +17147241127

Completely predictable

Jun 07, 2018 9:02:07 PM (Read by you after 58 minutes, 25 seconds) +17147241127

It's completely disrespectful on their part considering I asked them this exact question 2 months ago and they said they were staying with us and we've since let go players that we could have kept, they will be a perfect fit on that team!

Jun 07, 2018 9:24:47 PM (Read by you after 35 minutes, 45 seconds) +18058610919

Wait did she just say they are leaving the team?

Jun 07, 2018 9:43:52 PM (Read by you after 16 minutes, 40 seconds) +17147241127

That's correct

Jul 04, 2018 2:22:25 PM Me

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸💥 A reminder that we're meeting tomorrow, 5:30pm at Lisa's Cantina / Fresh Grill in Ojai. We'll be talking about the upcoming season and plans to prepare for it.

Jul 04, 2018 2:23:21 PM (Read by you after 2 minutes, 42 seconds) +18052180062

Colin will be there. Happy 4th all!

Hey there, a heads up that I've just emailed this weeks training plan. I'm going to run Tuesday's session, and the details for other days are in there. Feel free to email, text, or call me with any questions or concerns. Looking forward to starting our season!

Jul 16, 2018 11:25:36 AM Me

Hi Guys, I just emailed the outline for this weeks sessions. We moved last Thursday to this Tuesday. You’ll see it in the email. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Jul 16, 2018 11:30:01 AM (Read by you after 50 minutes) +18053688530

Ok thanks

Not making it today work duty have fun with the gang

Jul 23, 2018 3:05:46 PM Me

Hi Coaches, a heads up. Email sent with training plan for this week. I will send next weeks plan later this week.

Jul 25, 2018 7:28:14 PM (Read by you after 7 seconds) +17147241127

Hi all, I just wanted to let you know Oswaldo will be joining the team

Jul 25, 2018 7:28:36 PM Me

Excellent! Glad to hear it.

Jul 25, 2018 7:28:57 PM +18052180062

Ok that's good news.

Jul 25, 2018 7:31:43 PM Me

A heads up on training equipment. I have given it to Jim Kirchner and he’ll bring it to training tomorrow. Also, have a ‘position chart’ I’ve developed in Google Sheets I’ll share with you all shortly so we can plan for starters, backups, and 3rd string for each position on the field. And I’m working on the training plan for next week while I’m away. I should have that to you by the weekend. I’ll send the details by email and text you to let you know its sent. Forrest is running the session tomorrow with a focus on the defensive side of the field and building up out of the back.

Jul 25, 2018 7:35:20 PM (Read by you after 1 hour, 58 minutes, 51 seconds) +17147241127

they should be bringing his paperwork as well as an original birth certificate to practice tomorrow if one of you can grab it and get it to me on Tuesday I would appreciate it

Jul 25, 2018 7:41:22 PM (Read by you after 1 hour, 52 minutes, 49 seconds) +18058610919

All sounds good! 👌

Parents Behaving Badly: A Youth Sports Crisis Caught on Video

Belligerent parents have caused a severe shortage of referees. Now some of them are being publicly shamed.

Aug 07, 2018 9:42:56 AM (Read by you after 3 minutes, 19 seconds) +18053688530

I've seen and been witness to much of this craziness over the last 10 years

Aug 07, 2018 1:22:09 PM Me

I’ve seen a bit of it as well, but not a full on brawl as in one of those videos. Just wow!

Aug 07, 2018 1:24:24 PM Me

I’m about to email you all the training plan for this week. I’ll have todays session ready to go (Attack and finishing), Colin has warm ups today at Huntsinger. Also, if you all could help remind me to not drive away with the gear and pass it off for Thursday that would be great. 👍

Aug 14, 2018 5:56:14 AM Me

Hi from NY. I’ve emailed a training plan outline last night. Hoping things went well last Thurs/Fri. I return this Friday. Let me know how training goes this week and see you in a few days.

Aug 19, 2018 10:05:53 PM (Read by you after 11 hours, 55 minutes, 33 seconds) +18052180062

Can we schedule team dinner this Friday, watching first half of LA Darby after practice?

Aug 19, 2018 10:07:50 PM (Read by you after 11 hours, 53 minutes, 36 seconds) +17147241127

Won't work for us, I'm out of town with water polo until Saturday afternoon, Alexis is gone also, so both boys will be staying with the Stroples

Aug 19, 2018 10:09:43 PM (Read by you after 11 hours, 51 minutes, 43 seconds) +18052180062

Maybe during the tourney then A couple team dinners before season would be positive.

Aug 19, 2018 10:13:05 PM (Read by you after 11 hours, 48 minutes, 21 seconds) +17147241127

Totally agree!!

Aug 20, 2018 2:07:39 PM (Read by you after 1 hour, 34 minutes, 16 seconds) +18058610919

I'm down for whatever! I think it's a good idea

Aug 20, 2018 2:13:04 PM (Read by you after 1 hour, 28 minutes, 51 seconds) +18053688530

I agree the more bonding the better. The pick up game we did this weekend was great more of those as well.

Aug 20, 2018 2:37:47 PM (Read by you after 1 hour, 4 minutes, 8 seconds) +17147241127

I agree

Aug 22, 2018 2:07:58 PM Me

hi, a quick heads up I emailed the training plan for tomorrow. Focus is on midfield, details in the email.

Aug 22, 2018 2:10:21 PM (Read by you after 2 minutes, 55 seconds) +18053688530

Ok thanks

Aug 23, 2018 11:35:38 AM (Read by you after 56 minutes, 34 seconds) +17147241127

Hi all, with our first tournament upon us I had hoped this week to have our mandatory parent player meeting where we hand out player agreements unfortunately I couldn't get my 💩 together enough to make that happen. With that being said, I do feel like the topic of playing time needs to be discussed prior to this weekend's games, thoughts?

Aug 23, 2018 11:35:57 AM (Read by you after 56 minutes, 15 seconds) +17147241127

maybe the coaches can discuss it with the players tonight at practice and Coach Bert could send out a follow-up TeamSnap tomorrow

Aug 23, 2018 11:36:27 AM (Read by you after 55 minutes, 45 seconds) +17147241127

Additionally, let's schedule our mandatory meeting for next Thursday after training in Ojai

Aug 23, 2018 12:31:51 PM Me

Yes we can talk about this today. And yes we can have meeting next Thurs too. Good to give a heads up on that

Aug 23, 2018 1:33:34 PM +17147241127

Great

Aug 23, 2018 2:33:19 PM (Read by you after 42 minutes, 18 seconds) +18058610919

The tournament director has them

Sep 01, 2018 8:16:28 PM +18052180062

Sep 01, 2018 8:53:45 PM +18053688530

Junkyard cafe anyone who wants to join.

Sep 02, 2018 1:00:22 PM +18052180062

Fyi, I have the cards!

Sep 02, 2018 1:01:49 PM +17147241127

I just put on TeamSnap that we are going to head over to the Simi Valley Town Center which is the big mall North of the freeway in about 15 minutes when rivers game is done for anyone who wants to meet up with us there as well

Sep 04, 2018 9:19:28 AM Me

For today’s training lets keep it light and fun. Boys are still recovering from a weekend of tough games. If you have drills or games like “Lightening” or “World Cup” (2 team favorites) bring them along. Thanks!

Sep 04, 2018 9:58:38 AM (Read by you after 7 minutes, 33 seconds) +18053688530

How about patty cake 🎂 I'm sure they will have a blast with that..

Sep 04, 2018 10:01:02 AM (Read by you after 5 minutes, 9 seconds) +18053688530

On a more serious note how about setting up a game of soccer volley ball with a rope or low net.

Sep 04, 2018 10:03:34 AM (Read by you after 2 minutes, 37 seconds) +18058610919

What are we talking about here....?

Sep 04, 2018 10:17:37 AM +18053688530

Quite frankly what we've been working on is easy Burt the pattern work is paying off we can do a simple walk through add new movements off the ball and continue to improve while we take it easy. The rondo with 50/50 game warm up is also easy and fun. Let's stick to the game plan and continue with discipline of our own as coaches let up on the petal a little to let them recover but keep the mindset of progressing as a team.

Sep 04, 2018 10:21:36 AM +18053688530

In other words structured towards what we've been learning. This weekend was awesome btw, the kids pulled it together so well and literally sold out. 110% effort from everyone that was a rare thing that happened let's build off it...

Sep 04, 2018 10:32:02 AM +18058610919

I believe we should just have a normal training... they had Monday off, why give them three days off and a relaxed week before season starts? Play the way you train right? Before first weekend do we want 50% effort? The boys are hungry for wins after this weekend and we will lose that if we let up at all. My choice normal training

Sep 04, 2018 10:33:04 AM +18052180062

Agree with Forest, need to maximize stamina.

Sep 04, 2018 10:33:53 AM (Read by you after 1 minute, 54 seconds) +18053688530

I concur... Build off the weekend success...

Sep 04, 2018 10:37:06 AM Me

Seems like some of the group text is not getting through to everyone.

Sep 04, 2018 10:43:19 AM Me

I’ve been swayed. Let’s keep with normal warmups (running, dynamic/static stretching, short pass work—30mins). Then move to Passing Pattern we’ve worked on past 2 sessions (30 mins). Then move to some shooting drills for 30 mins (contested and uncontested shooting). Then 30 mins of scrimmage.

Sep 08, 2018 10:54:41 AM Me

Been thinking about the game since I woke up this morning. Sending good soccer mojo to Ojai. If someone could update me (goals, assists, injuries, etc.) I would sure appreciate it. Also be sure to check with Oswaldo because he knows this team (its his old team). Get those boys fired up and lets go win this season opener!!
