West Plains Zizzer Soccer

I received an email from Jeff Rogers, Head Coach of the Glendale Falcons this morning. They have an event that will take place on Monday, September 28 when the Zizzers travel to Glendale for an Ozark Conference Match.

From the Glendale Soccer website

The Falcons will be wearing pink jerseys for the September 28 match against West Plains to support Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

Mike & Connie Reinart are ordering pink t-shirts for the Falcons Nation to wear at the event and we would love to 100% participation. The shirts are standard t-shirts. All we ask is that you make a donation to the American Cancer Society.

If you have questions or would like to order a shirt, please contact Mike or Connie Reinart (888-0666) by Wednesday, September 2.

We encourage as many people who can to participate in this great cause to do so.

We wish them all good luck. You can follow their progress this fall by clicking on the links in the article. Hopefully they will provide some updates throughout the season.

The schedule for Zizzer Soccer Admissions and Concession Stand workers is now available by clicking on the Admission and Concession Workers Schedule page located near the top of the left hand column of this site. If you haven’t signed up to work, contact the Coaches so they can add your name to the list. We appreciate all of your help. Thanks and see you at the games.

The West Plains game at Glendale has been changed due to a conflict with Parent/Teacher Conferences at Glendale. The game will be played on Monday September 28 (Original date was Tuesday, September 29). The JV will start at 5:00pm with the Varsity game to follow.

The 2009 Zizzer Soccer Intrasquad scrimmage was held on Tuesday Evening. Twenty-six boys participated in the match which was split into two 30-minute halves. The white team took the win with several goals, including a nice header by Logan Huff in the second half (That’s the only goal that I remember who scored it). As expected, there were some good moments, some learning experiences, and some things that need more work. It will be back to work on Wednesday as we try to get ready for the season opener, next Tuesday at home against Camdenton.

Photos from the scrimmage should be available later after Randy has had a chance to do some editing. A parent meeting was held after the scrimmage. If you were not able to attend, catch Coach Brown and she can get you caught up on all you need to know. We will hopefully get the workers schedule posted on here soon. Thanks to all those who have volunteered. It’s not too late for those of you who haven’t signed up. See you Tuesday!
