It was the first day of soccer practice in Alexander...who ordered the heat? Despite the heat 31 girls took to the field nad worked out this morning from 8-11am and will return tonight from 5-7pm in what looks to be similar hot circumstances. Alexander's teams look to be small in numbers this year with only 18 players coming out for the varsity team and 14 for the JV team. However there is a lot of experience coming back to both teams.
Alexander will have only 3 seniors this year (Anna Dominick, Jamie Neth, Leah Johnson) and then a whole bunch of underclassmen (12 Juniors, 1 sophomore, and 2 freshmen).
Despite the heat the girls looked good in our first workout of the season. Both the U16 and U14 RDYSL teams won division titles this summer and the Women's team finished 2nd and was promoted up a division as well.
I will post some player bios as the week goes on and keep a running blog of practice throughout the August practices.
