Several Items

1. Tonight's Game: This should prove to be one of our more challenging games. This team is very good on the ball. When defending, be careful not to jump in too quickly. Pressure hard. Let's rise to the occasion like last Tuesday.

2. Outdoor: There are several issues we need to address as the season will start within the next month or so.

• Organization: for the forseeable future, Mark and Nick will be running the team while I deal with a newborn (scheduled delivery of 3/20) although I will continue to play. They will do very well, as you will see, and I will assist as I can. So, if you've any issues, know of any players, let them know as well as me and please feel free to provide them with all the sarcasm you can muster.
• Players: right now we have 10 confirmed players for the fall. They are, if I am not mistaken, Billy, Mike Labe, Sam K, Kurt T, Chris D, Mark, Gary, Jeff, Nick, and Jim. We need at least seven more. If you know someone, let us know. If you are listed as "committed", and are not, please let us know that as well.
• Schedule / Division: Mark will attend the league meeting this Thursday and will let us know what results. We think we'll be in first division, but haven't had a firm committment. Mark should also know the schedule at this point.
• Field: we've yet to receive a firm committment on the use of a field, so you if you know of one we might use, let us know.

On another note, I'm sad to learn that Steve won't be on the roster for the outdoor season. He's done very well at leading us on the field. That said, he certainly will be an excellent coach. He'll always have a place with us when he decides to return.

Later,
