Practice at Mirada - Come Ready to Play! - Feb. 29th

We're back and ready to play!  Though we wanted to play last week, the fields were too flooded for the district to keep them open.  There is beautiful weather in the forecast for tomorrow, so let's head out and play some soccer!  We are looking forward to a fun and productive practice!

Let's 'leap' out onto the fields!  See you at Mirada!

****UPDATE - SOCCER CANCELED*** FEB. 22ND

Due to flooded field conditions, the Kyrene School District has closed all fields today.  PRACTICE IS CANCELED.  Spread the word to others to make sure they get the update.

Thank you, and see you next week!

Back at Mirada - Playin' in the Rain - Feb. 22nd

Play on!

Tomorrow’s weather forecast is calling for steady rain. Always expect soccer practice even during rainy days. Light rain does not cancel soccer. Only lightning, dangerous field conditions or the likelihood of ruining the fields will stop class.

Bring dry clothes to change into post-soccer. Some of the most fun and memorable moments come from these rainy days!

If Mirada is deemed unsafe due to lightning, field conditions or field damage, we will post on the blog on Saturday.  Check for updates on the blog before your child's practice. I do not have the ability to send a mass email from my phone, but I can post on the blog.  That's where you can find the update.

Practice 3 - Away We Go!

We are off and running to a great start to the season!  We love seeing the new faces and veteran players alike!  Make sure you come a few minutes early to sign-in at the table every week and get any notes or reminders.  This will be the last week we will be selling equipment, so if you need shin guards or balls, this will be the last day to do it on-site.  Otherwise, you can purchase equipment at any sporting good store.

Weekly Reminders for New Players & Veterans

• Sign-in at the table EVERY WEEK
• Bring  cleats, shin guards, soccer ball, comfortable clothes or uniform, and two water bottles
• Tournament registration for the April 18th-19th Desert Cup is open.  It is the PREMIER event of the season, that you don't want to miss!  Coach Sean will talk more about it at practice and answer questions, especially for our new families.
