9.16.14 - Weekend Schedule Updates

Additional Details

On Thursday, with the match against South Oldham, the girls will be allowed to leave with their parents after the game as long as they complete the "sign-out" sheet before leaving. This will be a typical protocol where we know where all of the girls are going, and we know who is responsible for each girl. 

I am aware that we have several parents working the Bourbon Festival Friday afternoon and Friday night, and that this could cause transportation issues getting girls from practice Friday. However, we have two big games on Saturday, and as a result we will have a varsity only practice this Friday. I ask that you find a way to solve your transportation issues if you have them, however, please use common sense.

Saturday's double header is a tournament event in which the following teams will be competing: Thomas Nelson, Nelson County, Graves County, and Madisonville. A point system will be created and based upon the results of the matches, a winner will be determined. All girls participating from will receive a free tee shirt. Additionally, the booster club who is hosting this event will feed all of our girls following our first match.

Please contact if you have questions or concerns.

Thanks,

Alex Martin

Friday's Match vs. Collins

Good afternoon, it has been confirmed that tonight's games and schedule is as described in my previous post. Varsity match will begin at 6:00 and JV will immediately follow around 7:30. Please make necessary arrangements for this unusual sequencing.

Friday's Match against Collins,

Hello all! I'm excited to finally have a match against a team in which both of our squads will get to compete against an opposing team. Collins does have a JV and a varsity squad, and both teams should be decent competition for us as we continue to pursue our goal of improving everyday. See below for important information regarding match times for tomorrow.

Our current schedule, which is what we are going by, has the varsity team playing first at 6:00pm and the JV game immediately following which should start around 7:45. I have reached out to the opposing team's head coach via email but he has yet to respond. I would prefer to have the varsity game second, however it's not a big deal either way. We'll adjust and plan to perform well as we usually do. I will call Collins' head coach in the morning to confirm the schedule and field his thoughts, however unless otherwise notified, the schedule will remain as described above.

Therefore, girls on each of these teams will report to the field or my classroom as listed below:

• Varsity team members: 
• 3:10-4:00 - Free time for relaxing, and pregame meals.
• 4:00-5:00 - Film session in Coach Martin's classroom
• 5:30 - Warm-ups begin on game field
• 6:00 - Varsity match start time
• JV team members:
• 7:15 - Warm-ups begin on practice field
• 7:30-7:45 - JV match start time

Please reference this blog sometime tomorrow as I will confirm this schedule once I touch base with Collins' head coach.
