This morning the Hornets braved the elements to work on playing balls over distance. Lots and lots of reps. A strong barrage of showers throughout the morning session did a good job soaking the field and players. It was quite an introduction to the squad's new players from outside the Midwest about how the weather works in Michigan.
The 2009 Kalamazoo College Women's Soccer team was announced this afternoon. Check out the roster. 2009 Hornet Roster (It should be posted shortly). The 2009 version of the Hornets consist of 23 total players. 20 who originate from Michigan with 3 coming to Kalamazoo from out of state. Broken down by class there are 3 seniors, 4 juniors, 4 sophomores, and 12 first year students. A good mix of experience and youth should make for a very exciting 2009. Be sure to buckle up and hold on tight. Don't ask us about positions yet, that is still a work in progress.
After the team had a chance to dry out it was back to the water, however this time it was by decision. The team's Goalkeeping Coach, Erin Carlson, had the privilege to led the team through it's first official practice as a unit, at the pool. Erin works as an aquatics instructor at the Borgess Health Center here in Kalamazoo and is also certified as a life guard. Under her direction the Hornets worked in the water for about 75 minutes performing various excercises to maintain their cardio base without pounding the legs too much. The rest of the coaching staff will be sure to make up for that over the next couple of days. Thanks Coach Carlson!
