What happened to the blog???

I've been a little remiss in keeping up with the blog. Unfortunately everyday living sometimes gets in the way of "life"... Making sure that 27 players, 2 coaches, and a boatload of parents receive the information necessary to make the administrative aspects of their soccer lives a little easier - at least that's what I hope :-)

That said, what has been going on with the DAP teams lately???

In addition to preparing for college, preping for SATs, ACTs, SAT IIs, Saturday classes, winter sports, etc., the team has been practicing three times per week and playing one or two games each weekend. In February we traveled to Maryland, NJ, and twice to NY. We won the first 3 games of month but came unraveled against Met Oval on February 28th.

March has been a different story though and so far we are 1-3 for the month. This month we've been plagued with injuries, game conflicts, and a moderate amount of player stress especially with the 2010s who had SATs this month and some of the 2009s finalizing college commitments. Player development doesn't come without ups and downs. If development was predictable, the coaches coaching lives would be much easier and the players would never take a step back...

No such luck, but that is what these guys signed up for - challenge and commitment!!! Each and every player on the team gives up a lot to be here and each and every player on the team has an integral role in the team's success.

Next games - Saturday March 28th and Sunday March 29th at Citizen's Bank Fields in Lancaster. On Saturday the 16s kick off at 10:00 AM, the 18s at noon. On Sunday the 16s kick off at 2:30 PM and the 18s at 4:30 PM. The opponents for the weekend are our rivals from Connecticut - Oakwood on Saturday and South Central Premier on Sunday.

Go Bolts!!!
