Hello ECHS Players and Parents,

It was so good getting back out on the field this last week! I am excited to continue to train, learn, and grow together in preparation for the season! The start date to soccer season is fast approaching (Feb. 22nd) and I am still feeling optimistic about our chances of having a season. We are still in "purple tier" but things are changing daily here in California and I am hopeful that we will be having tryouts in the next few weeks. As we get closer to that time, we will be having a Parent and Player meeting tentatively planned for February 18th via Zoom. I will be sharing the link via email and Rep U as we get closer to the date.

We will be training this week on Wednesday only (Friday is a holiday) @ ECHS 4:30-5:45pm. I highly encourage all of our prospective athletes to come out to our training session. It is a great opportunity to get back on the field and see many of your friends and teammates. We also need to be prepared physically, mentally, and with our soccer skills if our season does start on February 22nd. 

I also encourage all of our athletes to begin training their fitness and touch on the ball in their own time. As I always say, if you want to succeed in soccer, you must be "about the game"! This means taking the initiative outside of practice to train, work on fitness, and work on the mental side of the game.

Please remember to follow all Covid protocols when coming out to practice and I look forward to another fantastic week. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. Have a great week!

"Play as one"
