    MAKE YOUR ROOM RESERVATION!

  Our first games are in Bakersfield on the Jan.31st & Feb.1st for state cup. Rooms will, I understand, fill very quickly.  I don't know the times of the games but driving up on Friday night is probably the best plan. 

  It is very important to make your plans and room reservations ASAP.  I understand rooms will fill very quickly. As an example, this morning the Marriott Residence Inn had a variety of rooms available, a limited kitchen and a FREE BREAKFAST!  Tonight they are sold-out!  
  
  I've made reservations at the Courtyard by Marriott.  They have a few rooms remaining.  

  See www.hotels.com or www.orbitz.com for more hotel choices. We can arrange to take a few players whose parents may not be able to go.  I've reserved a separate room for Michael and any other player that has a sleeping bag.

• Each year Parade Magazine creates a list of the high school (or younger) All-American soccer players.  On this year's list were several players from the southern California area.  To be on the list is a goal TOP players strive to achieve.  Meet PARADE's All-America High School Boys Soccer Team

• Practice is Monday and Wednesday 5:30 to 7:30 at Hillview High School. 

• Playing goalie is one of the hardest positions in all of sports. (Isn't Ariel doing a great job.) USA Today listed stopping a penalty kick as the 9th hardest. See the article article for details.
