Team Parents, Photos, Community Service Update!

Parents and Players,

Don't forget, we have a HOME game on Monday, Nov. 23 @ 4 p.m. Girls should be on the field no later than 3:30 p.m. (Georgia and Amanda, please come earlier so I can get you uniforms!)

I expect to see our full team together for the first time on Monday as no one has indicated they won't be there, so this should be fun! Hope we'll see a lot of parents and friends cheering on the girls, too!

A few other notes:

• TEAM PARENTS: Nadine's mom and Cennedi's mom have kindly volunteered to be team parents. When they ask you to help with a concession stand shift or shift selling tickets at our games, etc., please do so. Thanks to them and thanks to all of you!

• TEAM PHOTOS: Please mark Thursday, Dec. 3, 3:15 p.m., on your calendars as a day the girls cannot miss: It's Photo Day! A photographer will meet us on the field for team and individual pictures! The team photo is used in the yearbook and you'll have an opportunity to purchase individual photos later. No obligation.

• TEAM WEBSITE: If you haven't surfed us yet, please do: http://shorecrestmdgirlssoccergold.blogspot.com/ . In addition to game reports and schedule updates, I try to post game photos, soccer-related videos and other items of interest. It's also a convenient place to find schedules for all Shorecrest soccer teams as well as the women's teams at USF, Eckerd and the Women's Professional Soccer league.

You can subscribe to the site and receive updates via email the minute they're published. Please encourage the girls to subscribe so they get the latest information directly!

• COMMUNITY SERVICE: Please mark Saturday, Dec. 5, noon-3 p.m., on your calendars. That's the day the Gold team will participate in a community service activity serving as "elves/helpers" at the Christmas Toy Shop (550 - 16th Street N.) for the annual toy distribution to underprivileged children in St. Pete. Visit christmastoyshop.org for more information. Community service is now a required part of the athletic program at Shorecrest so I expect we'll have a strong, enthusiastic turnout!

Go Chargers!
