Catching Up

Here's the first post of our brand new blog.  We hope to keep this updated at least weekly so all you out there that love Seasider soccer can keep up with us.  In later weeks, you can look forward to player interviews, behind the practice interviews, and updates on our season.

Ok, so we're already 3 weeks into our season, but we thought we'd go back and remember some of our fun preseason team moments.  Our first two weeks of training was pretty intense and we definately say that our coaches know how to work us hard.  But lucky for us, we know how to play harder. Here's some memories from our adventures so far.

Team Hike to Maunawilli Falls

We left after one of our 6AM practices for Maunawilli, it was about a 45 minute hike to a beautiful waterfall. It was pretty crowded when we got there, but of course our team knows how to clear a path! We all squeezed our way up onto the waterfall and jumped off!

Trip to PCC  

After double days were finished we were treated to a behind the scenes tour of PCC by our own Coach Mahoni.  He took us to the prayer meeting for the dancers, and we got to see how they get ready for each night.  He showed us all around the backstage and explained how the show works.  Then we got great seats for the show.....Thanks Coach!!

of course we took team pictures everywhere

Team Dinner

We can eat almost as well as we can have fun, so of course we've had multiple team dinners. at Mearn's house, we had hawaiian haystacks and got to know each other; at Haliewa Eats for Britt's birthday bash! at Brenna and Kami's house for making team goals, and then for our pre-game against Regis, we all met at Coach Kacky's mansion and had delicious lasagna.

Some other great activities that we've also gotten to do are

• Big and Little Sisters-Everyone on the team gets assigned a sister and we are responsible for looking out for our sister, motivating them, and most importantly making sure they're not late for practice!
• Fireside with the Men's Team- Coach Mahoni and his family put together an awesome fireside for us and the men's team.  We got to listen to some amazing musical numbers and hear testimony's from our coaches.

• BEAT REGIS!- after 2 weeks of hard work, we earned a very well deserved 4-0 win over Regis University, a Colorado DII school.
