Midgets A vs Claret in Claret field: 8AM (All who will ride the service must be in HEdCen by 7AM)

Opening of RIFA girls

In the opening games of RIFA Midgets A, two powerhouse teams will collide: HEdCen vs Marist on August 9, Saturday. Our highschool team will play a new member of the organization but a veteran school in football, Far Eastern University (FEU) also on August 9, 2008.

There will be football training this Saturday, August 2, 7-9AM in HEdCen for the Midgets A team. I encourage the other teams to train as well. Please confirm with your coach if it is possible for Saturday training.

Coach Sugar arranged for a practice game against Ateneo but only Ateneo’s Midgets A team is ready to play on Saturday. Last time Ateneo and HEdCen met in this age group was in the Midgets B RIFA games where the match ended in 0-0. Skie almost won it for HEdCen when his shot which cruised past the keeper bounced of the post.

HEdCen Midgets A may have the edge in this match if they maintain the momentum they’ve had in the past 2 weeks improving a lot on combination plays along the wings, playing through passes to cutters in the middle, and a never-before-seen teamwork which got them past Marist 3-1 last week. Ateneo players are bigger and if they manage to often get a body on HEdCen players, this will benefit them a lot. HEdCen’s defense will have to hold. Hopefully, HEdCen will maintain its team play and even improve it some more with better timing, better decisions on the field, and more hardwork.

On Monday, July 21, we will train after class for about 30 minutes. We will do slow jogging and juggling. That should be enough to keep our bodies in shape till our next training on Friday or Monday.

-All midgets A players are required to train on Monday, July 21. We will end our practice at 5pm. Our next official training after that will be next week, Monday, July 28.

-We might have a practice game this Saturday.

-Midgets A may join the training on Friday, July 25.

This Saturday, July 19, HEdCen Midgets A and Highschool team will have their practice games with Marist in Marist School. The games will start at around 7:30am according to Coach Frank.

HEdCen highschool will play against some Marist highschool, alumni, and freshmen UP varsity football players.
