Hi all,
Congratulations are in order for Varsity: beating Scripps Ranch for the first time in program history! I've attached a video of the game winning goal, courtesy of our amazing parents (this video is unlisted on Youtube, so only those who have the link can view). JV also tied San Pasqual, rebounding well from a previous 1-3 loss against the same team. These teams continue to impress both Coach Makenna and I with their heart and grit. Let's continue that into this busy week.
This week, we are lucky to have the turf all week. Monday is a non student day and football's bye week so practice is 4:30-6:30pm on the turf. Varsity has a photo reshoot at 10am on Monday at Poway Lake. If any JV players need to get individual photos done still, please also come at 10am.
We host Canyon Hills on Thursday and Varsity plays Friday + Saturday in the UCHS Tournament for a total of 6 possible games in 3 days. Please everyone take care of yourselves during this whole week. More specifically this means stretching with intention after every practice, icing anything that hurts, eating enough food, and drinking enough water as we're getting into a busy part of our season. We need everyone on board to be successful!
Please see below for the Varsity and JV UCHS Tournament schedule. I've included game start times in the typed out schedule below including what colors to wear, time of warm ups, and location of game. I've also attached photos of the full schedule of the tournament, how we will be ranked/tiebreakers, and the full document download if you prefer.
These slots are still open for the UCHS Tournament Volunteering. Please consider filling them, links are down below:

Varsity: Games are two 20 minute halves with a 5 minute halftime. 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, zero for loss. Differentials will only be +/- 3 goals.
JV: Games are one 30 minute period with no halftime/timeouts. 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, zero for loss. Differentials will only be +/- 3 goals. Your schedule is a little wonky because Pool A has only 3 teams instead of 4. I've done my best to explain outcomes in the schedule below, but we will go over this throughout the next two weeks if you are confused.
Looking more into the future, butter braids begin on Tuesday, September 26th, players be on the lookout for a presentation from our wonderful parents during that week.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Go Titans!
Coach Ari
