Earlier in the week a future Hornet ball boy, Owen Passage made an appearance at practice. He found something that he really liked (a bag of soccer balls) and apparently was none to happy when he had to leave. Don't worry Owen, it's a pretty good bet that you will probably make it out to the soccer field a couple more times this Fall. For those that don't know, Owen is the son of of Rob and Laura Passage. Laura coached the Hornets from 2005-07 before handing over the reigns to Coach Goyings. Rob is the Men's Basketball Coach here at the college as well. That is just one of his many titles in the the athletic department as he also does an outstanding job helping Coach Goyings keep a healthy perspective on all things coaching while also helping to manage the athletic facilities here on campus and at times serving as a chauffeur for the soccer team.
Friday, yes, more rain washed out the morning session and the scrimmage planned for the day was also canceled as the Kalamazoo Soccer Complex was closed for purposes of field preservation. So this morning everyone had the opportunity to get a little bit more sleep. The juggling delinquents were asked to head over to the gym to put in some time trying to reach their goal. Without a place to scrimmage this afternoon the team headed across town to a local indoor soccer facility. In the tighter space of the indoor field the team worked on a number of different types of combination, including the, don't trip over yourself back heel. The session ended with a 4v4 transition game and a touch of fitness. Rain may have dampened the ground but spirits remain high. The first official contest is quickly approaching. Just one week away!
