Magic Complete Successful Preseason

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.

Magic Breaks the Ice with a Win!

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. The Magic finished the tournament 2-0-2, with two victories over McLean 95 White (3-1 and a 2-0 Championship win), and 1-1 ties with the VISTA Revolution and McLean 95 Gold.

The girls' hard work throughout the winter was evident. Footskills and team play have improved since the last outdoor tournament, despite the weekend's freezing cold and wind.

The Magic play in the PSWI Icebreaker this coming weekend in Woodbridge, VA, before starting their ODSL season.

Loudoun Select Red vs Loudoun Magic

Our teams sportsplex site is here.

Couple of items:

1. 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.
   
2. 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.
   
3. 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.
   
4. 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.
