Peninsula Trip

Since Kasara loves it when I keep the blog updated, I will post a little something this morning...

We are going on our one and only road trip this year and here are the details:

We leave PHS at 8:30am Friday morning.
We will be on a regular bus with 30 girls and 3 coaches plus everyone's bags and sleeping bags and pillows. This means we will be crowded so PACK LIGHT!!! We will get to Kenai mid afternoon and we'll stop for lunch. Then we will go to the school and win 3 matches bam bam bam and probably get back on the bus and go to Homer. Then sleep on the hard classroom floor and get up the next day, win 3 more matches get back on the bus and head home. We won't be home until late Saturday night. If you want to ride home with your parents you are more than welcome to.

What should you bring? ONLY THE ESSENTIALS!!!
Both jerseys
Spandex
Both Shoes
Both Kneepads
Both Ankle braces
Coat
Sweats
toothbrush
toothpaste
hairties
Pillow
Sleeping bag
catch phrase
Money - enough for 4 meals... if you pack snacks then you can get away with less money $20-$40 go with $40 if you are planning on buying all your food.

I am sure there are some things I'm forgetting but if If I think of something I'll add it later. Please don't rely on my list, make your own, this is just some ideas.

Pack light, Wear your coat and sweats on the bus, it usually gets pretty cold. If you must shower, you'll want to bring a towel and other shower essentials, I would encourage you to pass on showering :) haha, unless you stink, then go ahead and shower, but if you don't shower on a regular basis anyway (you know who you are), don't start now.
You really won't need jeans or real clothes of any kind, you can wear your sweats everywhere we go. You won't need more than 1 pair of shoes besides your volleyball shoes.

Kodiak

Tonight we host Kodiak and we are having a potluck. Each team is responsible for bringing in some food. I think this is the plan:

C-Team - Salads
JV - Main Dishes
Varsity - Desserts


I could be mistaken, I hope I'm not. Get with your coach for more information.

9-3-09 Palmer vs. East - Superfan Night

So our first home game is right around the corner. 9-3-09 vs. East. The first game of the year is going to be a Superfan Night.

What is a superfan night? Well thanks for asking! A superfan night is where we try to get the gym as packed as possible with Palmer supporters. We want to be able to completely drown out the other teams cheering section.

It is up to each team to bring in as many fans as possible. Take the cards I've given you and cut them up into 18 invitations. Whichever team has the most fans bring thier invites back to us on game day will win a pizza party. The fans will have the chance to win a pizza as well, and it's going to be a lot of fun.

If you need more invites let me know!

Warm Up Music

I am working on the warm up music for this year. If you have any suggestions let me know pronto. I'm taking suggestions from all 3 teams and spectators also!

If you don't suggest anything we could end up with 2 cds of Taylor Swift followed by the Taylor Swift rap "Thug Story"

singer turned gangsta
you don't wanna fight me
straight to the top
in my extra small white tee

I love it. :)

Team Pictures

Pictures will be taken Wednesday at 2:45. All teams must be present and ready to go. Pictures packets will be handed out today to take home to your parents. If you want to buy pictures, these must be returned to the photographer at the time of pictures.

Practice schedules are as follows:

C-team 2:30-4:30
JV - 4:30-6:30
