Memo from Next Season's Coach

2009-06-01T21:53:00.002-04:00

Hi everyone,

I thought with the upcoming tryouts and coaching changes I would send out anote to the current White and Silver teams providing my thoughts on theupcoming tryout season and my background for those who do not know me.From 2007 to present, I have been the coach for the Silver team. I have been a coach in Loudoun Soccer for the last 7 years, including three years as an All-Star coach in the 95G age group. I have a US Soccer D license and will be pursuing additional licensing/training as my scheduleallows. With the focus of the Silver team being player development I have successfully moved a number of players to teams playing in higher/faster divisions of play; from past All-Star teams and the Silver team there is one player on the Red team, there are seven on the Black team and nine on the White team. I understand there has been an enormous amount of frustration regarding all of the player movement in the past season and how that may impact the upcoming tryouts. I can safely say that there is no one more frustrated than I as the coach of the team most affected by the movement. It takes more than an eight week season to get a team of players to come together,understand their roles, and start to show success on the field. The White team experienced a lot of player movement, as well, due to players moving up, attrition and injuries resulting in a need for more players from the Silver team. As a result, new players joined the club in both White and Silver teams. As a coach it is rewarding to see players getting an opportunity to play in a travel setting and we have been fortunate enough to have wonderful kids join the program. So the big question…..player selection and team formation. It should benoted that player evaluation is completed by the age group coaches, and other club coaches as available, and it is that collective evaluation that is used for placement. For the upcoming tryouts what we do not know is how many players will be attending and how many players may leave the club.These two factors, players coming and going, will determine the number of players available from which the age group can create teams. The skill level of the body of players as a whole will determine to which team players will be selected, i.e., Red, Black, White or Silver team. In my opinion, the current teams as structured, for the most part, have the proper players given the relative pace of play in the teams’ divisions. Each player will be evaluated on individual players’ skills and abilities relative to the other players suited for a given team. I ask that all players stay relaxed and focused on their game as we go through the tryout process and work to make each team the best it can be as they represent Loudoun Soccer in their respective division of play.

For those that do not know me my coaching philosophy revolves around individual player development in the context of their team. I focus ongetting the girls to play soccer as a unit with each players’ skills defining their role on the team and in the game. Too many times I’m stillasked “what do you want me to do” or “I don’t know how to play there." Having players understand team offense/team defense in a given situation is my role as a coach. To that end, you will see very little player movement from position to position in a given game or given week. I start theseason with players in their comfort zone and as they master that position they will be moved to the next logical position relative to where they were playing. Some players move quickly while some players do not. There are cases where physical limitations may make certain positions harder for aplayer to master. They will get a chance to experience those roles on the field but likely will not find a home there. Chapters can be written on this topic so if anyone would like to discuss further please reach out.I will be at the remaining White team games so please do not hesitate to ask me any questions, voice any concerns and pass any comments. I lookforward to next season and wish each current player on both White and Silver the best of luck in their tryouts.

The bake sale is still on for this Sat. April 5th at the Sterling Walmart. We have adjusted the times due to our 10am game. We will begin our bake sale at 1pm and end around 5pm. Due to space restrictions, we need to divide the girls into 2 two hour shifts--1-3pm and 3-5pm.

Please contact Peggy Bokulic or Karen Alexander to let them know when you can supply sales people for the event.

Thanks to Peggy & Karen for keeping on top of this event!

Spring '08 -- Off and Running

2008-03-31T19:44:00.002-04:00

95G White competed in the FPYC Liberty Cup to warm up for the Spring ODSL Season. Although the girls didn't get to the finals, we were able to take several positives out of the event.

First, the team had a positive goal differential, scoring 9 and giving up only 5. We've used our limited practice time to work on our pressure/cover/balance defensively, and it showed. The girls gave up more than one goal in only one game during the tournament. Second, the team learned a lot about playing under adversity as two players went down with injuries during day 1 and were unavailable during day 2. Down two players, the girls played the FPYC Strikers to a 1-0 loss, then defeated the CYA Fuego 2-1 in the afternoon.

Erin Windland led the team in goals, closely followed by Annie Bokulic. Both girls earned Captain's bands for next week's ODSL opening game, and both played some of the best soccer in their travel careers.

Even though we missed the finals, I'm very proud of the girls and the way they handled the injuries, poor fields, and crappy weather. We're looking forward to taking this weekend's momentum into our ODSL opener on Saturday, and we're looking forward to getting our injured kids back in one piece.

What I learned being captain - by Megan W

2007-10-09T06:27:00.000-04:00

When I was captain I learned that I had to be a leader and responsible for the team. I was captain for the whole Manassas Battlefield Classic Tournament with Katie. Being captain was fun because I got to lead stretches and I had to get the team focused. I got the team focused by telling them the game strategy and the things we needed to work on. The strategy of the game was to focus on getting shots and getting the mids back. At practice, we worked on a 3 person passing drill which I saw during the game! Well from what I saw we played a terrific tournament!

Megan as Captain

2007-10-04T16:58:00.000-04:00

2 weeks ago I was a captain. I learned that the captains don't do very much except for to tell our team mates to get back on the field after waterbreaks at practice. I think that when we're captain, we have to be better leaders and find other things to do. Maybe as captains we could tell the coaches what we think that the team needs to work on, and then suggest a drill to do at practice. That's what I learned about being a captain.

Katie & Polly as Captains

2007-09-26T08:44:00.001-04:00

This past week we played against the Vienna Lighting team and Polly and I were captains. I think we did great and we all tried our very best! Anyway the game was tied 0 to 0 although we almost had 5 goals in the first half, and a couple more in the second half. And thanks to our goalies Kylie and Cate we were saved with a tie. I really love being captain, it is so much fun! And congratulations to our next 2 captains Megan K. and Janna. Thanks for a great game team, you all did great!!

Business in Brambleton

2007-09-24T19:50:00.001-04:00

After practice last Thursday night, 9/20, several of the players met at Froots in the Brambleton shopping center for smoothies. After having some fun, laughter, and even some singing at Froots, the girls walked around to several of the eating establishments to hand out sponsorship information to the managers/business owners. Their smiles and charisma were well received in each of the establishments. Hopefully we will soon enjoy the “froots” of their labor. The girls are excited about their next “business” adventure to take place on Saturday, September 29.

Loudoun Soccer 95 G White vs Epic Hammers

2007-09-14T20:15:00.000-04:00

Field Reporter: Kylie F

On Sunday September 9th Loudoun Soccer 95 G White (Loudoun Magic) played the Epic Hammers. We played a great game even though we did not win. The score was 2-0 Epic. We played at Sherando park in Stephen City VA. Megan K. and I were goalkeepers. Mairin and I were captains. After the game, we decided that Megan K. should be one of our next captains because she played so hard and had good footskills.

New Season – New Name

2007-09-03T14:37:00.001-04:00

With a new season comes a new name for the Loudoun Magic – now the Loudoun Soccer 95G White. The team’s new name is part of Loudoun Soccer’s effort to better unite all the club’s teams under one umbrella. We wish our sister Red, Black, and Silver teams best of luck with their upcoming seasons.

White started their preseason with a solid 2-1 showing at the Dulles National Preseason Tournament in Herndon. The girls defeated the Sterling Tigers and Great Falls Courage before losing to the eventual tournament champion BRYC Axiom. Several of the girls had excellent tournaments. Goalkeepers Cate Coughter and Kylie Fleming finished the tournament unscored upon. Cate and newcomer Katie Alexander had the first goals as members of our team. Carly Melkus joined us as a guest player and did a nice job as a keeper and defender.

It would’ve been nice to get into the finals, but the girls played hard, and did well for their first games together. We got a good idea of what we need to work on, and we’re ready to work hard to have a great ODSL season.

Loudoun Soccer Tryout Information

2007-05-21T11:22:00.000-04:00

Loudoun Soccer will be holding open tryouts for rising U12 Girls on May 31, June, 2, and June 3. Tryouts run from 6pm to 8pm and players are encouraged to attend all three tryout sessions.

The current field schedule is:


U12 Girls                May 31  Legacy Large
(born 8/1/95 – 7/31/96)  June 2  Evergreen Mills
                         June 3  Simpson #2

Please check the Loudoun Soccer website (http://www.loudounsoccer.com/LSC/index_E.html) throughout the week as the schedule is subject to change. A little food for thought:

We anticipate a fairly large group for tryouts, so arrive at the field no later than 5:45 to register. The players will be given numbered pinnies, which they’ll be expected to return at the end of each session.
Loudoun Soccer tryouts are open to anyone in the age group. To help the coaches remain as objective as possible, players are not to wear articles of clothing that identify them with a current travel team. No uniform jerseys, shorts, socks, practice jerseys, or warmups. Also players should not bring their “travel bags” – they should just bring a ball and water.
The more we see the players, but better we can do at placing them appropriately, so please attend all three tryouts. If a player is injured or there’s some kind of vacation conflict, please let one of the coaches or volunteers know during the sign-in process.
All current players are required to attend tryouts, as all rosters spots on each team are open for competition. Players on current teams may be placed on a higher or lower team based on their ability and performance at tryouts.
We anticipate the addition of a D team to the age group, coached by Peter Walther. The addition of a 4th team is contingent upon the number of suitable players we see trying out.
Due to Loudoun Soccer policy, we are unable to make player notifications until immediately after our last ODSL game, which is currently scheduled for June 10. (This policy is new since last year.) If this causes a hardship for someone based on vacation plans, etc. please contact your coach to make other arrangements.

Good luck!

Coach Ed & Jeff

Lightning vs Magic May 6th

2007-05-21T11:21:00.001-04:00

Sunday’s game-Lightning vs Magic

The score to our last game was 2 to 1. Megan Windland scored our only goal. The team played good but I think we could have beaten them. The other team was beating us to the ball. We also need to take some more shots on goal, but the shots that we did get on goal were very nice shots. I know it was a little bit harder to get a shot off against that team because they had three defenders. We played good in the first half, but in the second half we started to slow down a bit and they were winning most of the loose balls. At the very end of the game we started to pick up the pace a little bit more. Our passing and ball skills were very good. I think the thing we need to work on the most is taking the shot earlier.

Captain Janna

2007-05-21T11:20:00.000-04:00

Dear Loudoun Magic,

Being captain was a great experience. I learned that it is good to step up and be a leader of the team every once in a while. It is also a great time to give constructive criticism and share your ideas about improving the team’s playing. I think it was good to have a second captain to help me direct the team. I felt sort of important to the team being able to choose the MVP of the game. It was also somewhat fun being the example of the drills at practice.

On Sunday, we played the VSA Heat, and we won the game 3-1. In the beginning of the game, we were lazy and we weren’t making good passes. Then, towards the end of the half we started picking it up, and Jessica scored a goal! In the next half, we moved the ball around more, moved into open space, and then I scored two goals! I still think that we need to work on coming to the ball when it is passed to us, and getting our shots off earlier. Other than that, we played a good game!

On Sunday, April 22 2007 the Loudoun Magic played the Sherano Epic. Before we started to play we paused for a minute of silence for Virgina Tech. After that, we started the game.When they were up 3-0 we started to play aggressively.Just then, Dakota scored a goal.Then, Megan Kyte scored a goal.We ended up playing a great game, but we lost 3-2. I even got yelled at by the referee because I was playing aggressively.We all played hard and we'll get them the next time.

Thoughts on being a captain...

2007-04-30T21:15:00.000-04:00

By: Jessica W.

This past week I have really enjoyed being co-captain with Megan Kyte. It is like being the assistant coach and helping the team at practices and at games. As, captain, you have more responsibilities. Some include leading in drills and stretches, making sure everyone is attentive to both coaches, and reflecting on the games and how we played.While being captain your teammates look up to you for leadership and help when it is needed. Being new on the team and having the role of being captain was a great way for me to get to know my teammates better! This week being captain was an honor. I knew I had to play my hardest and be a good role model for my teammates to look up too. This past weekend being captain was a great experience for me and a lot of fun!

Spring Break Game

2007-04-16T06:53:00.001-04:00

Field reporter Maddie B

Hi Everybody!

Sorry I'm late on the right-up. But I think everyone did a great job, but there is a few things we need to work on. I think our most major problem was getting open. On throw-ins and goalkicks, we need to check more and give support. Also, we need to get in front of our opponents quicker so we can receive the ball and run less hills! Some of the players on our team had to play different positions because we didn't have all our players. Those people did a really great job at different positions. Keep it up! Also, congrats to Megan W. and Cate for earning the captian spot. See you at practice on Monday.

Being captain...

2007-04-10T07:49:00.000-04:00

I know Erin and I have had a great experience being Magic’s captains. Here are a few words about what we learned, and what it was like being a captain.

Being captain gives you a chance to see through the coaches eyes (in a way). It takes A LOT of patience and hard work to make the other girls on the team listen and respect you. Although captains have a lot of control, THEY need to respect their team mates too. Leading the team means that we have to make sure the other girls don’t goof around, and stay on task. We have to be good role models by showing our skills, respecting the coaches, demonstrating good behavior, and participating in all the drills. Now, for the positive things about being a captain. It gives you a chance to get to know your team mates better than you already do. When you get picked to be a captain, you know that you played well in a game or a practice. It gives you honor and dignity when you’re picked to lead the team. I’m glad that I was picked for captain, and when you get your chance, I bet you’ll love it too!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

March Madness Soccer Tournament, 24/25 March 2007

2007-04-03T09:00:00.000-04:00

By Erin Windland

The Loudoun Magic traveled to our first soccer tournament in Maryland. We just switched from indoor soccer to outdoor soccer. We had one outdoor practice before our tournament. We did a couple things well in this tournament. We we didn't drive into the defender; we passed the ball to get past the defender. Also we talked to each other during the game, and we used our back pass a lot. A couple things we need to work on are getting to the ball and getting in front of it. Also we need to make sure we play our best defense when the ball is down by our goal, so our goalie doesn't get hurt, and we need to go to the ball first and win loose balls. We need to take balls out of our penalty box faster. We also need to take more shots.

The teams we played were the Cleveland Blues, the MSC Shamrocks, and the Arlington Flame.

Jessie H. scored our only goal of the tournament with an assist from Elizabeth. I think we had an okay tournament, but we can do better. Looking at the bright side ,we improved from last season

Season Wrap-Up

2006-12-01T21:23:00.000-05:00

Congratulations to Loudoun Magic, Champions of ODSL Division I for the Fall 2006 Season! The team’s 6-1-1 season record is a tribute to their work ethic, competitiveness, and swanky play that began way back during the hot summer months. The girls gelled quickly despite a 50% roster turnover from last season. We had a great bunch of kids who worked hard, played their butts off, and somehow found a way to win. GREAT JOB!

November 18-19, Magic participated in the Hunt Country Classic. Although the team finished 0-2-1, we played three very close, competitive games. Thanks to Nikki and Gracie for joining us as guests. We also got a chance to use players in unfamiliar positions to make the tournament a learning experience, so all in all, I’d say we had a successful event.

The girls are taking some time off over the holidays. 2007 gets kicked off with a dose of speed & agility training, plus our winter training and indoor league. Coaches and trainers are busily preparing for player evaluations. Meetings with parents/players will be held in conjunction with our indoor training and game schedule. Look for training information, plus information on the big team party shortly.

Happy Holidays to everyone in the Magic family.

Head Coach, Loudoun Magic

A Magical Bake Sale...

2006-11-12T09:33:00.000-05:00

The weather - record breaking (warmest on record at Dulles). A perfect day for a Magical Bake Sale.

The idea of making it donations instead of fixed prices on the baked goods worked well beyond anyone's expectation - a little over $400 for the team was raised in 4 hours!

Thanks to everyone that participated. It was a fun and profitable event. A good day in the sunshine.

Magic Alive Despite Loss...

2006-11-06T10:43:00.000-05:00

Put the VSA Heat on your holiday card lists this year. Thanks to their 3-2 defeat of Annandale, Magic still have a shot at the ODSL Division 1 crown, despite yesterday’s 2-0 loss to EPIC Hammers in Stephens City.

Magic had been unbeaten in ODSL play, relying on strong goalkeeping and tenacious defense to mask a few goal scoring issues. Last week, the girls fought back from a 2-0 deficit to forge a 2-2 tie at Vienna. This week, the offense could not dig out of another 2-0 halftime hole, despite the players’ tremendous effort. Here’s my take on what it’s going to take to get things fixed for the long haul. A loss makes a good opportunity to take stock a little bit.

Technically. We need to improve our technical speed. There were times that we dominate play territorially, but struggle to get quality shots. It’s taking too long for players to receive, turn, prepare & shoot. We also need to improve the quality of our ball striking. When we are getting shots, they’re often wasted opportunities because we can’t get the ball on frame with pace. We still have a tendency to mentally target the goalkeeper’s chest as opposed to targeting the far post. This all comes down to more and more touches this fall and during winter training. We’ve improved though, and we’ll continue to improve.

Tactically. We’re not seeing open spaces well. A few examples: We had a 4v1 yesterday which resulted in a shot from an angle that went well wide of goal. The player that shot was the player that was being defended. Even an average centering pass likely would’ve resulted in a breakaway. We had a similar situation on Saturday when we have a 3v1 that resulted in nothing because we didn’t see the open space and pass to an open player. From a coaching standpoint, the most frustrating practice we had all year was trying to work 2v1 give-and-go passes, not because we can’t pass and receive, but because we didn’t see the open spaces and move accordingly. Finally, we still have players out of position. A few examples: After spending 20 minutes warming up in our positions, our left/right forwards lined up on the wrong side of the field at the start of the game. Our midfielders push very far forward, leaving a large gap between the other teams’ defenders and ours. That means we don’t have any support for our forwards, and makes it much easier for the defense to clear the offensive zone.

Physically. Our level of physical play has improved, and I’m pleased that our players don’t back down from anyone. The last two weeks I felt like Vienna and EPIC had a bit more team speed than we do. Jeff’s looking into offseason speed/conditioning training to help that aspect. Mostly, we need to be more aggressive. We stopped taking loose ball statistics, which was probably a mistake on my part. When we had the stats, we were showing improvement, but we only won the loose ball battle in one game. I think if we added a statistic that showed who touched the ball first on restarts (corners/throw-ins/goal kicks, etc.) we’d be losing the battle by a wide margin. Winning the ball is where we have to start. Without the ball, it doesn’t matter how good our skills are.

Psychologically. This team impresses me psychologically. The never quit, and they don’t get down on themselves. I sort of expected a few tears after the game, especially with the notion that we’d lost our shot at first place, but it didn’t happen. I think we had a wakeup call, and I bet the kids are going to come to practice ready to work. On the other hand, we need to be more focused, and a little hungrier at the beginning of our games. We need to treat 0-0 like we’ve treated 0-2 the last few games and put that level of intensity on display from the first whistle.

I know that’s all wordy, but it gives me a good chance to reflect on where we are and need to go. If we go out next week and play like we’re capable of playing, we’ll knock a few into the goal.

Magic vs VYS Lightning

2006-11-02T09:03:00.001-05:00

Field Reporter: Dakota

The Magic was falling behind in the first half because we were not playing aggressive, it was 2 to 0 and we were getting worried. In the second half we kicked it up a couple notches and we scored 2 goals to tie the game! Everyone came out strong and wanting to win. YAY MAGIC!! To improve, I think we needed to talk more and stay in our positions and not drop back so much. We also need to work on our moves to get around their players. Other then that we had a great comeback! Oh, one more thing. Thank you Allie Hardesty and Danielle Stephens for being our line refs.

Magic Weathers Storm for 3-0 Win

2006-10-22T10:43:00.000-04:00

Field reporter: Coach Ed

On October 22nd, the Magic defeated the SYC Storm 3-0 at Wintergrove Field in Ashburn. Although Magic controlled much of the first half play, the game remained scoreless until Kaylyn scored just before halftime on a terrific individual play, knifing through defenders before using the outside of her foot to put Magic up 1-0.

The Magic goalkeeping duo of Kylie and Kaylyn were bored and lonely for much of the game, as our defenders dominated play. Megan W put Magic up 2-0 early in the second half with a nice finish off a nifty pass from Jessie. Later, Elizabeth put Magic ahead 3-0 scoring her first Magic goal, off a solid corner kick.

Nice job on the attack today. We need to use this game as a stepping stone to a good performance vs Vienna next week.

Magic defeats AGBC Freedom

2006-10-03T06:00:00.000-04:00

Field Reporter: Kaylyn

On October 1^st, the Loudoun Magic played a team called the Freedom from Annandale Virginia. At the beginning of the game, Jessie kicked the ball off to me (Kaylyn), and of course I fell because a girl from the other team tripped me. I need to work on keeping my feet. The Freedom scored the first goal of the game on a breakaway. They were a strong and aggressive team. We scored our first goal when Erin crossed it to the middle of the other team’s goal and Kylie kicked it right into the center. With the score tied 1–1, we came back quickly with another goal. This time Maddie made a beautiful pass into the box almost going out of bounds and the other team kicked it in by accident. The game ended 2–1 Magic.

The whole team played phenomenal, especially our two goalies, Kylie and Megan K. Our field players also played great and we made a lot of good passes, crosses and foot skill moves.

I think we should work on being more aggressive keeping the ball away from the other team and getting to loose balls before the other team does. Besides that, the team did a great job at this game and I think the whole team had lots of fun! Go Loudoun Magic!

Magic Defeats SYC Shockwave!

September 24, 2006

Field Reporter: Jessie H.

Hooray!!! We won our 3^rd game in a row! Magic won 2 to 0. We scored both goals in the second half. Dakota was dribbling, passing by everyone in her way, then…BOOM! She scored the first goal! Then the next thing you know Kylie makes a great move, turned, and scored the second goal!

We dominated the game and had a lot of shots. We could have had many more goals but we didn’t always have the right touch. The Magic had some good passing today and showed off some of our moves.

We still need to work on passing the ball quicker, pressuring our opponent when they have the ball, and being first to the ball.

Ice Cream anyone?

2006-09-26T01:26:00.000-04:00

Needing a mere 8 Maggie Moo points to break the 150 threshold, the Magic amassed 42 points vs the SYC Shockwave to achieve their ice cream dream.

The team was led by Kylie, with 3 "moooves" followed by Janna, Kaylyn, and Megan W with 2 moooves each. For the first time this season, Magic won the battle for loose balls 12 to 8 in what ended up being the team's most complete performance of the season.

Patch Update

Congratulations to this week's winners of the US Soccer Skills patches:

Controlling: Maddie, Erin, Megan W., Janna, Dakota, Cate

Juggling: Megan W.

The players' hard work is starting to show more and more on game days. Coach Ed and Coach Jeff have challenged each and every player to start applying all their new found skills against the other team.

Magic Bike Ride

Magic's first social event of the season will be a team bike ride this Saturday (9/30) at 3:00 pm. We'll depart from Partlow's General Store in Ashburn, ride east, and then return to Partlow's. Each rider should bring a few bucks for snacks after the ride. Parents, brothers, and sisters are all welcome on the trip.

We promise to keep everyone on the pavement this year, don't we Phil?

Magic Welcomes Coach Claire Collins to the Team

The new face at Monday's training session was coach Claire Collins, Magic's new professional trainer. Coach Claire is the Girls' Varsity Soccer coach at Broad Run High School, and we're all excited to have her aboard.

Claire takes over for Andrew Ratti. Andrew's been a big part of the Magic's success, and he's been great fun to work with. Unfortunately for us, Andrew's "real" job - Managing Director of Event Transportation Services - has kept him very busy and away from the field. We all thank Andrew for his time and effort. I'm sure we'll see him again in the future. Good coaches are like bad pennies - they just keep turning up.

Magic defeats VSA Heat!

2006-09-20T16:16:00.000-04:00

Field Reporter: Elizabeth E.

In our second ODSL game, Loudoun Magic defeated the VSA Heat with a 3-1 score:

(editor note: see the entire photo set here!)

Getting goals for the Magic were Jessie H. and Megan W. Jessie scored on a breakaway to tie the game, and Megan scored two goals. Megan’s second goal was in the last minute of the game! The star of the game was definitely our second half goalkeeper, Maddie! Maddie’s saves kept us from losing the game on the other team’s breakaways. It could have been 3-6 if it wasn’t for her many saves! We are sooooooooooo lucky to have such an aggressive and hard working goalie!

The team we played was a good team. We played our hardest even though it was very hot! We did a lot of passing and tried to do moves. I think we need to work on our defense. Like, if one defender moves up to attack the ball the other needs to fall back behind, and mids need to come back and help. I think we are going to be a great team! I need to have my stupid toe heal, so I can play! I think we played great!

- By Elizabeth E.

A word from the coach...

So close - yet so far.

Despite a well earned 3-1 win against the VSA Heat today, Magic remain a scant 8 points away from crossing the finish line in the Chase to Maggie Moos. The girls' hard work is becoming evident on the field; footskills and shooting are definitely getting better. Coach Ed gave out four US Soccer Skills patches today. Jessie, Kylie, and Megan K earned their Controlling patches. Cristen earned her juggling patch. Way to go girls!

Look for Friday's practice to move into the SportsPlex as Legacy is blacked out. More details forthcoming.

Loudoun Magic defeats the Arlington Spirit

2006-09-10T16:30:00.000-04:00

Field Reporter: Megan K

See the two goals!

The Loudoun Magic has kicked off there 2006 fall season with a 2-0 win! Jessie scored from a pass by Erin,and Cristen scored from a free kick. Kaylyn and I were the two goalies, and we did not let the other team score on us. Everyone else on the team did a great job of shooting, crossing, and passing.

I think that we still need to work on pressuring the ball some more.We did a good job of doing some moves on the very bumpy field, and I think that we probably got some points for "The Chase to Maggie Moos".

Against the Arsenal...

2006-09-06T22:01:00.000-04:00

Field Correspondent Cate C.

On Sunday September 3^rd, the Loudoun Magic played their second game against the Manassas Arsenal. We played at the Quantico Marine Corps Base. It was our second game of our second tournament. Again all the rain the day before made us play a half an hour game. During the game the teams were pretty even in controlling the ball but the Arsenal was making a lot more moves than us. We still need to work on trapping and winning loose balls, making moves with accuracy, and follow our moves with a pass, shot, switch, or cross. I think the best defensive players were our goalies Maddie and Kaylyn. The best offensive players were Erin and Megan W and Megan K those guys got some good shots. Also, Elizabeth showed some nice moves. But mad props to everyone for playing hard. Overall I think we played better in this game than the first game. It was a swanky game! But we’ve still got a lot to work on.

Magic are Ready to Open ODSL Season

2006-09-05T21:56:00.000-04:00

The Magic traveled to soggy Quantico to compete in the rain-shortened PWSI Invitational tournament over Labor Day weekend. Despite the two 1-0 losses, the girls fought hard and managed to play their best soccer of the season in the second game.

For the first time this season, the girls started to show some good footwork, accumulating a number of points in The Chase to Maggie Moos - or as the girls like to call it "Maggie Moooves." The defensive effort is very good and the goalkeepers are playing very well too. Although the team is still struggling to hit its stride offensively, the footskills, passing, and confidence are heading in a positive direction.

To encourage more individual practice, the team has started a patch program. Each player has the opportunity to earn skill patches for dribbling, shooting, juggling, controlling, and passing. The coaches have established the criteria for everyone to work towards. The standards are tough, but fair, and all the players should be able to earn all five patches as the year progresses. Check out the patches, criteria, and progress reports here.

Thanks to Janna and Cate for being our field reporters this past weekend. Megan K is on the hook for the Magic's ODSL opener.

Hi Everyone,

Below you will find a snack schedule for the upcoming Fall 2006 season. We are asking for half time snacks. If you would like to provide something after the game for fun or a special occasion, it's completely up to you. Last season we discussed this issue and decided to ask for half time snacks only.

If you are on the list below, can you please let me know yes or no if you're ok with the date/time? If there is any problem, you can contact another family to switch or I'll ask someone else. I have a list of twelve players. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Magic: Lessons Learned - Continued!

Field Correspondent – Janna S.

On Sunday September, 3^rd Loudoun Magic played the Alexandria Freedom at the Marine base in Quantico, Virginia. It was our 2^nd tournament of the fall season (pre- season). Because of all the rain they decided that the tournament would only take place on Sunday and the games would only be thirty minutes long. We played an okay game, and I think that we took them on pretty well. I still think we need to work on pressuring the ball, winning loose balls, making moves, and switching the ball. Possibly even passing and shooting the ball harder. We made a few good crosses and had a couple darn good shots. Our goalies made MANY amazing stops!!!! The final score ended up being 1-0 Freedom. Overall we did pretty well but we definitely have things to work on.

Magic Survive Tough Pre-Season Test

2006-08-29T14:34:00.000-04:00

Coach Ed writes...

Loudoun Magic ended the Dulles National Soccer Tournament with a 1-1-1 record, playing in the tournament's Premier bracket. Of the eight teams playing in the Premier group, Magic were the lone representative of the ODSL, while the other 7 teams are playing in WAGS. The 1-1-1 record against extremely tough competition is indicative of a team that played with tremendous heart and showed a lot of pride.

Our 1-1 tie with the MCSA Jr Majestics Gold showed the girls they could play with anyone on a given day. Our 7-0 loss to a very good Freedom Revolution team showed the players and coaches how much room for improvement we have. Following a bad loss with a 2-1 win shows how much pride the kids have and how hard they want to play.

We know we have a lot to work on, but we also know we have players dedicated to getting better.

Thanks for our tournament correspondents - Erin W., Megan W, and Kylie F. Player-written game summaries will be a new staple for us this year.

Also check out the "Chase for Maggie Moos" - where the girls get points for making offensive moves and for winning loose balls.

Magic plays at the PWSI Toys for Tots Tournament at Quantico over Labor Day weekend. We're looking forward to a fun tournament that supports a phenomenal cause.

Magic Closes DNST with a Victory

On Sunday, August 27 the Loudoun Magic defeated the Herndon Curve 2-1 at the Dulles National Soccer Tournament. Maddie scored off a goalie punt. Our next goal was scored by our guest player Olivia on a free kick.

I think that everyone played a great game, especially our goalies, Olivia and Maddie. I think we need to work on winning loose balls and making more moves.

I can’t wait to start playing when my broken toe gets better.

Magic Learns a lot in Tournament Loss...

2006-08-27T21:50:00.000-04:00

Field Correspondent: Erin W.

On August 26, 2006 the Loudoun Magic had their second soccer game of the Dulles National Tournament. We played in the afternoon and it was brutally hot. We played the Freedom Soccer Club from Sykesville, Maryland. They were very, very tough, but we did our best. We never gave up until the last whistle blew. The final score was Freedom 7, Magic 0.

I think we need to improve on getting the ball out of the area in front of the goal. We also need to improve on being more aggressive and winning the loose balls.

Magic Kicks-Off Fall Season with hard Fought Tie

2006-08-27T21:40:00.000-04:00

Field Correspondent: Megan W.

The Loudoun Magic played their first game of the Fall 2006 Season at the Dulles National Tournament in Herndon, VA on Saturday, 26 August 2006. We had to get up early because our soccer game was at 7:30 am. Our entire team, except Kristin was there, and Olivia was a guest player. This was an 8 v 8 tournament so we played a double diamond shape. The Majestics took tons of shots, but Megan K. and Kaylyn did an awesome job in goal. In the first half, Megan W. got a great breakaway and took a hard shot and scored. Dakota took the first corner kick of the season. Maddie did a good job of clearing the ball when she was a defender. Janna made a great pass to Elizabeth and she almost shot. Erin made lots of great passes. Near the end of the game, Olivia made an exciting defensive save by kicking the ball over the goal. Jessie controlled the ball at center mid and did a good job as the target player. She got hurt, but came back in to play because she was tough. The Majestics scored when everyone was smooshed together trying to get the ball and they tapped it in to the tie game. Kylie cheered us on from the side lines because she had a broken toe and could not play. The game ended in a 1-1 tie.

Magic Complete Successful Preseason

2006-03-29T06:32:00.000-05:00

The Loudoun Magic completed a successful run of preseason tournament this past weekend after finishing the PWSI Icebreaker tournament with a 1-1-1 record. The Magic played their first game against an out-of-state team, defeating FC Frederick Academy White 1-0, followed by an exciting 4-4 tie against the Herndon Curve White. The Magic completed the weekend with a hard fought 2-0 loss to eventual tournament winner VISTA Magic.

Magic finished the preseason with a combined record of 3 wins, 1 loss, and 3 ties. More importantly, it’s apparent that the team’s winter training is paying off, as the girls are showing improved footskills, and better spacing as a team.

Magic kicks off the Spring ODSL season on April 2nd vs McLean 95 White at Freedom Park in Leesburg.

The Loudoun Magic started the 2006 Spring outdoor season off with a bang, winning the Red division of the Loudoun Icebreaker tournament this past weekend.

Loudoun Select Red vs Loudoun Magic

Our teams sportsplex site is here.

Couple of items:

Plan to wear red, but bring your whites to every game. The Freedom/Tornadoes split their players up and called them Loudoun Select Red/White. We're playing Red our last game. We're playing in a U10/11 group, so the competition should do us some good.
I looked over the rules, and unlike the adult leagues, the youth leagues aren't allowed to have guest players. In the past, knowing how the SportsPlex worked, I'd have said they'd never check anyway. I've heard that they're under new management and they've become more strict about it.
Here's my plan for indoor. I don't care if we win or lose. I want to work on footskills, help the kids get ready for ODSL, and let them have fun. I also want to use Indoor to get the girls acclimated to positions they aren't used to playing, so the kids that didn't play much defense last season will be getting more time there in indoor - and the kids that played a lot of defense will be getting their time up front.
Thanks so much to Lori for being on the ball and getting us registered! I looked over the list of teams, and there's something like 65 teams on a waiting list. Anyone know where we can scrape together enough money to open an indoor facility out this way? We'd retire rich for sure.

The Loudoun Magic congratulates her sister teams, the Freedom and Tornadoes, on their successful pre-season tournament runs.

The Freedom were the Finalists in the Premier bracket of the Dulles National Preseason Tournament, then traveled to Philadelphia over Labor Day to compete in the Ross-Haney Tournament, from which they returned as Champions.

The Tornadoes went 3-0 in the Washington Fall Classic Tournament in Maryland, only to be knocked out of the tournament on bonus points. Over Labor Day, the Tornadoes traveled to Williamsburg to compete in the Williamsburg Cup, bringing home the Championship of the Premier Division.

The Magic, Freedom, and Tornadoes all compete for Loudoun Soccer Club, so when one team wins, we all win. The three teams combined to post a 16-1 record, with three Championships and one runner-up finish.

Congrats to Tornadoes and Freedom players and coaches, and best of luck to our sister teams in the upcoming ODSL season.

Team Dinner Thursday July 28th

Peggy Steadman (Mom to Janna) Writes:

Hi Magic Parents,

I am the entertainment coodinator for Loudoun Magic. Ed has asked me to put together an informal dinner this week so that the girls can sign their player cards. If you can't make it, please contact Ed to see when you can have your daughter sign her card.

The dinner is planned for Thursday, July 28th, 6:30pm at the Red Robin in Sterling. It's on the road that runs around the Dulles Town Center Mall.

Plans are in the works for some kind of get together with all three travel teams. I'll let you know when I find out more information.

During the year, I'll be planning some informal get togethers. My ideas are low stress, low cost and fun (I hope). Just a chance for the girls to do a little something together besides soccer. I'll be shooting for something every other month. I'm thinking of things like bowling, skating, a pizza night and I'll be checking the LYSA website for events. If you have any ideas, let me know.

Please advise (yes or no) if you can make it on Thursday and how many people. I will try calling later in the week to see if they will take a reservation..if not, I'll just warn them that we're coming.

(Lori....if you can't make it, let either Ed or I know and we can get the player cards from you. Timing this week is flexible for me..if you're going to be in Leesburg I can meet you.)

Hope to see you then.
