Hello ECHS Players and Families,

I hope everyone has stayed safe and healthy during these trying times we all live in. I was very encouraged last week when the stay at home order was lifted and I am eager to get back to training!

 

A few items before practice announcements:

Number one, the team store was officially closed two weeks ago. Unfortunately, we did not get enough orders to begin producing our team swag. If you did purchase something, you should have been reimbursed through Eastbay. If you were not reimbursed please reach out to me and we can solve the issue.

Number two, as of right now our official start date for the Girls Soccer Season is February 22nd. In order for us to have a season we will need to be in the "Orange" tier according to the CIF rules that have been laid out. Currently we are in the "Purple" tier. I am hopeful that the current Covid situation in our community is improving and as of now we are planning to have a season. I will keep you all informed as the date approaches and I will share any more information I get as it comes to me.

Number three, CIF has allowed Cross Country to begin this week. I highly encourage those of you who want to get involved with ECHS Athletics to consider trying out for the team. Cross Country is a great preparation sport for soccer and we have a fantastic team. 

Number four, stay positive. I know that this year has not gone according to anyone's plan but if there is one thing I have learned in my years of coaching it is that we must stay positive and continue to learn and grow. 

 

Now for the fun announcements:

We will resume our preseason conditioning training this week! All training will be outdoor until we get approval to be back in the weight room. WE WILL BE TOUCHING THE SOCCER BALL SO YOU WILL NEED CLEATS, SHIN GUARDS, AND RUNNING SHOES. Please don't forget water and a mask as well. All Covid screenings and documents from last semester will still be required. Please reach out if you have any questions. 

Training will be on Wednesdays and Fridays from 4:30-5:45pm @ECHS. ALL LEVELS ARE WELCOME!

We are very excited to get back on the field and are confident that we will grow, learn, and have a fantastic time together. If you have any questions regarding training please reach out. 

We look forward to seeing you all and have a fantastic week!

"Play as one"
