Whether you are a returning player or new to the team, I would like to welcome everyone to the VA RUSH U-15 NIKE Boys Soccer Team Blog. For those returning veterans you all know what this blog is about. For the new team members I will fill you in on what to expect. First you will not get any news about schedules, fees, field numbers, tournament dates or what color uniforms to wear to the game. Maria does a great job of getting all that important information to you so no need for me to delve into that. What you can expect are photos, video clips, my own commentary and hopefully a little humor hopefully. If you dont know me yet...just look for the guy at almost every game with the Hi-Definition Camcorder on the monopod. I am usually lurking around recording our boys game highlights for posterity but a warning...I have also captured the odd parent or two vocally exerting the boys on to glory. Right Janet? Sometimes my clips are just straight highlights but sometimes I cant resist putting a little more creativity into the product. Check out the Mud Bowl clip below for an idea of what I mean. With my son Brett's seasonal trip to the Emergency Room I missed a chunk of last spring and I am looking forward to cranking up the camera to see what this fall season brings.
A few things to expect this year besides the game highlights. I anticipate a blooper reel at the end of this season. No great goals or hard tackles in this highlight reel. More like muffed attempts to kick the ball, slips and slides, fumbled saves, etc.
I would also like to post some photos of the boys when they were little soccer players and see how many players and parents can identify the boys at say 4 or 5 years of age. If you want to participate, send me a digital photo of your player. The only requirement is I would like to have a soccer photo not a school photo. I know you all have a pile of U-5 through U-8 team and individual photos lying around like we do. Lets see what we can do to embarrass our favorite player beyond belief. I have a number of good ones for Brett.
I have a couple other things I am looking at but I don't want to give away everything right at the beginning of the season. In response to one request I have received...yes I may post some photos/video of parents as well...but be careful what you ask for!
See you all at the Sun Cup!
