Thursday Thoughts

Finally, back to a regular blog entry!

Busy, busy times at the Warrior office.  For those of you who may not know we are full time working out of Mosaic Place.  Our office faces Safeway... making it a great location for a Starbucks coffee run.

Exhibition passes are ready for pick up; walk up tickets are not available yet. 

The merchandise store is assembled but still under construction.  We will be open through out camp for parents, players and fans.

Last night over 85 players made their way to Mosaic Place for registration.  It is always nice to see familar faces, families and of course the excitement in every players eyes. 

Al Millar and Mike Stothers presented two key messages in both the parent and player meetings.  First, the Warriors are all about "team first".  Secondly, "be on time...better yet be early."

The players assembled at the Field House for fitness tests this morning.  What a great way to get another look at a player.... 2 miles run, beep tests, sit ups, bench press, jumps....  You can hear many of the prospects happy that they have already improved their results since June. 

Tanner Eberle once again lit up the beep tests; Sam Fioretti also had a good push.  Swiss Import Eric Arnold put out 58 push ups in a minute...

The players are seperated in to 4 teams; two older teams and two young teams.  All four teams will have practice times today starting at 1:45 pm. 

Once again the fabulous Booster Club will be providing all of the players meals all weekend long.  They are fantastic!

Come out and watch some great talent this weekend:
