A great job to players, coaches and parents for this past weekend. I was so impressed with how quickly the teams were playing the style we want in Maryland. One of the most impressive games was one we lost by a few goals - but only due to the physical size difference between our 95s and the opponent. Even the opponent's coach said afterwards that we were the most impressive team he had ever seen at that age. That type of play will pay off down the road. We need to keep encouraging the possession style of play that gets the players comfortable with the ball under pressure. The weekend also brought out areas that we need to address in training, and we look at the next few sessions to iron out the main issues we saw.
At any rate, thanks for all the hard work from everyone.
Upcoming practices will be announced soon. (WE STILL NEED FIELDS!!)

Coach,
Can players who did not try out for MD ODP in December still try out for the 2008 season? If so...how? Thank you.
Not really in the sense that we would open tryouts up again. However, should our staff identify someone from watching him in club ball, then they may ask that player to come to training to decide if he is to be added to the roster. This would only be done in the case of a player whom the staff feels is potential regional pool player and was missed somehow before (might have been injured...just moved into the area, etc). Any recommendations that come form club coaches are followed up - when possible.
