 Water/Snacks-- The girls are going to be working hard in humid, hot conditions so they'll need lots of water and some snacks to keep their energy up. I've decided to get the after-game snacks (it'll be easier to coordinate.) The halftime snacks (orange slices etc) will be taken care as we discussed at the parent meeting.

Weather-- Bill assures me that unless there's a tornado (and perhaps even during a tornado) we will play. Brad will bring a large canopy for our team, which will be a huge help. Regardless, it might be a good idea for parents to bring rain jackets for the girls.

Dressing-- the girls will be changing into their new jerseys before the game, so make sure they have something underneath that will allow them to change in public if that's an issue for them.

Games-- as I said at the meeting, I'm not quite sure what the level of our competition is. We are in the mid-level division but I see a couple PDP teams in there, so the girls will no doubt be challenged. I told the girls that you can often beat teams that are better than you by hustling more than they do, and by teamwork. I will tell the girls to do two things before the game starts: do your best and have fun!

I'll see you on Saturday!
