Thanks Dr. O

I wanted to take a moment and say thanks to our sponsor Dr. Cynthia Oberholtzer and all of the other doctors and support folks at Podiatry Associates for their support and care over these last two years. Dr. O., loves our team and has asked me to thank you all for supporting their practice. She has agreed to renew our sponsorship agreement for 2007! Thanks again Doc.

They treat any problem from the knee down, many of you know she repaired some badly torn tendons in my ankle, if it wasn't for her I probably wouldn't still be playing. Also, their Physical Therapy department can help you recover from any injury, head to toe, Amy Hill is the head of their PT area and has helped me with other nagging injuries, she also does sports massage. Thanks Amy.

To reach Dr. Oberholtzer or any of the excellent staff at Podiatry Associates please call: (303) 805-5156.

Guys, please do not score more than 8 goals against Coloradans, give the old farts a little break.

Winner Take All

Guys,

The Peruvians and Coloradans have snaked us out of a couple of trophy's in the past. This Sunday is it! If we commit to defending with every fiber of our bodies, connecting on every pass and finishing our opportunities we will win. Let's leave it all on the field and the League Championship will be back where it belongs, with us. There is no doubt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Team Picture Day

The weather is supposed to be great on Sunday, a perfect day for our team picture. It would be great to get everyone there including our walking wounded. And many thanks to our great fans doing the wave in the stands last week!

Strong, Strong Showing Yesterday

Hats off to the entire PA squad yesterday!

It was a strong-dominant showing yesterday. Offensively, they could not contain, control or figure out which way the onslaught was coming.

The middies had their way with their poorly organized group and large field and their offense was pretty much void of any pressure - barring the 2-3 key saves Craig made in the 2nd half.

Let's keep this train rolling this and next Sunday!

Coloradans Beat up on Advantage

We are still 5 behind Coloradans as they beat on Advantage 5-2. Putting us both with 9 for the week.

They are at 44 and we are at 39 points.

Let's keep our offensive momentum going with continued strong D on Sunday at Kicker's x2.

Big Weapon Small Field

Mike Adams has an awesome long throw! We should have already scored using it. On the small field it's pretty much like having a corner kick. What do you say we get our bigger players to crash the net off a couple flick ons? It could make a big difference in a tight game!

Scouting

Any scouting info on Real Colima? Either directly or someone with a contact that has played them?

Let's be prepared for this game mentally and physically.

Interesting result for Coloradans vs Kickers

The Coloradans beat the Kickers 3-2 Sunday.

That puts them at 35 points and we are at 30, Advantage sitting on 26 and Real Colima at 24.

We play Real Colima and Coloradans have Advantage, so let's get an all-around team effort and strong win vs Real Colima to make others chase us!

Rapids Clinic with John Spencer

The Rapids are offering a free one hour coaching clinic with former Captain John Spencer (now an assistant at Houston) at Invesco Field on April 29th before their game. We'll get to go down on the field to do the clinic and then watch the match versus Houston after (you will have to have a ticket, they are available from $7.00-25.00.) I know that we have a few coaches on this team so if you are interested, call Justin to get on the list at (303) 405-6134. Spenny is a great guy and this should be fun!

We need maximum points this weekend - Shutout and 3+ goals!!!!

If you look at the schedule, REAL Colima is through the tough part of their schedule with the exception of REAL INTER.
Right now from the standings it looks like Kickers and Highlanders are the easier competition. REAL INTER, ADVANTAGE, COLORADOANS, and REAL COLIMA look to be the tougher competition. We have already beaten Advantage and Tied REAL INTER. We still play Coloradoans and REAL Colima and need to win. beyond that.....

Every team plays one team twice:
- We play Kickers twice (and need to max points)
- REAL Colima plays Highlanders twice (and are probable to max points)
- Advantage plays Rockets twice (and could max points)
- REAL Inter plays Coloradoans twice (max points not probable... should take each other out)

If Real Colima defeats Real Inter this weekend (very possible) and we max points this weekend (also possible), then our destiny is in our own hands.

Summer Tournaments

It's never to early to think about summer tournaments, especially if they are invitation only and generally fill-up quickly. I have a call into Vail in case they have a tournament this summer. We should also look at some others, get dates, etc.
