We’re on our usual schedule today. We have two benefits at Quest Park to help us battle heat: a shaded field and access to an outdoor hose. We’ll make a decision after practice about our optional goalkeeper training session.
NTH has recommended that we shorten Tuesday’s practice due to extreme heat, with “feels like” temperatures of over 100 degrees. So we’ll shift our start time back to 5:00 (more shade) and practice until 6:00. We’ll skip our optional post-practice goalkeeper training. Make sure your daughter does some extra hydration after school and before practice!

Temperatures and conditions for the rest of the week are forecast to be several degrees cooler. (“Less hot” seems more descriptive.) So we’re hoping today is a one-off cancellation. Anyone who wants a make-up session… Read More »
