Hello Everybody !
Well, the time has arrived and we are on our way to Nationals!
On Sunday, April 22, we play our first game.
Let’s discuss transportation, food and dress code:

It is very important that we all help each other with the carpooling.
Nationals is a very important tournament, high visibility and if you can make it to the quarterfinals, we can participate in the College Showcase Weekend. It is so important that all of the players be at the game. As you all know, some players do not have transportation issues. So I am asking everyone to buddy up with a team mate if you are having transportation issues.

As of Thursday’s practice we have four (4) players that do not have a ride. All players will meet at the parking lot of the McDonald’s between 6:30a and 7:00a. If you need a ride to the game, you need to get to this meeting point. We are asking as many parents as possible to join our caravan. From this meeting point we will work with all the parents to ensure that all the players get transported to the game.

The McDonald’s we will meet at is located at:
7861 Beach Boulevard, Buena Park, CA 90620

We will leave at 7:00a promptly. We should arrive in Ventura at 9:30a. Once there we need to setup, players dress up and have their coach’s meeting. We must be ready for an 11:00a check-in.
Game time is Noon.

Players will wear their academy training shirt, with blue or black jeans or pants. Your uniform, pants and shoes must be impeccably clean.

Make sure you take all the gear and you may possibly need, such as:
~ academy blue sweatshirt
~ academy sports bag
~ ace bandages
~ shinguards
~ wrapping tapes
~ blue and white socks
~ money for lunch or a snack
~ water / sports drink

Parents – If you all can wear your cruz azul sports wear that would be great. If you have flags, please bring them!!!!!

If any of you can cooperate with bringing ice and fruits to snack on that would be helpful as well.

If you have any questions or more suggestions you think we should publish, please call the office.
