Game by Game Futsal Rosters

Santos:

Here's a schedule for futsal. We may have guest players play with us from time to time. I have set these rosters myself so if you have any questions or concerns about them, please address them to me. Some players have 6 games others have 5. Those with 6 can expect a little more time in the goal.

If you have to change a game or an evaluation date, please let me know and I'll make the change.

Robert Briglia secured the Int'l School gym for our practices, but they added some requirements that were unrealistic for us to meet. Thanks for the effort, Robert. I will continue to look.

Player Evaluations

I will do individual player evaluations with each player during the futsal season. If you are not playing futsal, no problem, we will schedule some time later. Based on our futsal game rosters I will ask 2 to 3 players to show up early or stay late for each game. There is some space on the second floor where we can do the evaluations. I would like at least 10 minutes with each player and parents can join for an additional 5 to 10 minutes at the end if they wish. I will also hand out written evaluations at that time.

Futsal and Winter Training

Santos:

Sorry to have been out of the loop, been a very busy week. As you know, we have 1 futsal team with a roster that has a few too many players. I don't think this will be much of an issue. We will have to make a roster with 8 or so players for each individual game. This means all players players will miss some games in order to have a manageable roster for each game.

The first step is for everyone to let me know as soon as you can which which games you CANNOT attend. Here's our schedule:

SUN 11/16/2008 11:20 AM West FC England v. OSA Santos
SUN 11/23/2008 5:50 PM West FC Italy v. OSA Santos
SUN 12/7/2008 5:50 PM West OSA Santos v. THUSC Platinum
SUN 12/14/2008 5:50 PM East OSA Santos v. ESUFC Coventry
SUN 12/21/2008 4:55 PM East OSA Santos v. OSA Explosion White
SUN 1/4/2009 5:50 PM East NEU Fusion v. OSA Santos
SAT 1/10/2009 7:45 PM West OSA Santos v. OSA Shock
SAT 1/17/2009 3:05 PM West OSA Explosion Red v. OSA Santos

Once we have everyone's schedule, I will put together weekly rosters. The first week, Lena will sit out and let her foot heal a little more. Anyone else want to take a break this weekend?
We are entered in U13, which, looking at the competition, is exactly where we belong. The U12 is made up of mostly weak teams and the U13 has some teams that appear to be at our level. This won't be a big step up for us.
I have also been trying to locate Gym space for training. Robert Briglia is looking into some space for us and we may have French American on Sunday afternoons. This is not ideal but the price for FAIS is right and we will make better use if it once Futsal has ended. Most of the gym space remaining is late (8:30 to 9:30). Please let me know if this is too late. I have contacted schools in the Beaverton School District as well as PPS. If you know of a school, public or private with Gym space available in the evenings, let me know and we can contact them.

Clackamas and RSVC Notes

Santos:

We had a tough weekend last weekend. The Clackamas game was not one of our best. It was rough and ragged. They wanted it more than we did. We also did not play with touch and tended to force the ball forward too often.

The RVSC game was tough because we lost it, but I think we actually gave a better effort as a team. Our work rate and speed was good and there were some good things on the field. We can be proud of that.

They took the game from us because they were stronger physically, but also a little stronger mentally. They played hard, physically, and never backed off. It's true that they are bigger then we are, but that is no excuse for us not to match them in terms of mental strength and toughness. We need to play with more resolve in the future.

Let's prepare ourselves for this weekend and the tournament and make it a great end to our outdoor season.
