Boys Varsity Tryouts

Varsity Tryouts will begin this Thursday, October 2.

Practice will be from 5:30 (run & warm up off the field)to 7:30 at Lindbergh, and will continue for the next three weeks at Exit 69 and the rest of the practices.

We are looking for skill, athleticism, a strong work ethic, and most of all, a TEAM FIRST MENTALITY.

If you can fill these roles, you are more than welcome to try out for the Hopkins Hurt Varsity Boys team for 2009.

Exit 69 Tournament This Weekend

Ladies and Gentlemen: The St. Olaf hosted tournament Exit 68 will be held in Northfield this weekend. It is a 60 Minute drive from Lindbergh and games start at 8.

HERE IS THE TENTATIVE SCHEDULE

We will be meeting at Lindbergh at 6:45, leave at 7am, arrive at 8am and be ready to play at 9am (CAPTAINS MEETING @ 8:30). Eat well (protein, not caffeine) and plan ahead with the proper clothes - NO COTTON - and we'll be ready to rock at the first game.

Cost: About $15 per person + gas money for your driver ($5 each). Field food is provided (bagels, water, bananas) so bring extra for yourselves, or money to go out and eat. ALL WATER BOTTLES SHOULD BE REUSABLE. NO DISPOSABLE WATER BOTTLES!

Girls: You are all invited to play

Boys: This tournament is part of VARSITY TRYOUTS. All players in grades 9-12 are welcome to attend and be positive influences on the rest of the team both on and off the field.

NOTE: This is a college tournament, and we will be playing college teams. We will need to embody the Noble Warrior mindset in order to show all the college teams that we DO belong at this tournament. Please prepare accordingly.

If you are planning on going, please post in the comments section. If you (or your parents) can drive, please post that as well.
