Iron Horse Youth and Ponies Week 2: September 5th-10th

Dear Parents and Players,

I always feel like the school year is official after Labor Day because while all of our different players filter back to school at different times, EVERYONE is finally back now.  Farewell to the the very hot summer of 2023.  The remaining youth teams that did not start before Labor Day begin this weekend.  See the full practices and skills schedule below.  

Under the schedule please see another optional spirit order and some reminders as we get going en-mass.  

Schedule This Week

I believe all of the youth and Ponies teams have their schedules in Game Changer.  If there is ever a discrepancy between our big Master Calendar in Google and GameChanger, the master calendar is the one to follow.  Hopefully that won't happen but if anything changes it is a possibility as I will have to make that change in 14 places.  

It's still way hotter than we would like but we should be able to get through our entire schedule this weekend.   Please make sure your player has adequate water to get through their practice and or skill session.  

Positional Skills

I am still getting lots of inquiries about skills.  If you still want to register CLICK HERE.  We only had goalie skills the first week and moved our field skills to later in the fall.    Goalie skills are sold out.  

CLICK HERE to find the master calendar.  There is a tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet that breaks out skills only.   This link can always be found on the homepage of the website.  If you are looking from your phone it is the first thing that pops up!  

Parking Reminders For Those Starting This Weekend

 

All of our practices are at Jesuit College Preparatory School 12345 Inwood Road Dallas, TX 75244 on either the turf or the grass fields.  Sometimes we will use the baseball field later in the season so we can utilize the lights.  

For the grass practices, please park in the new parking lot across Willow labelled Anderson Lot on the campus map attached and walk over to the grass field by crossing Willow at the crosswalk.  PLEASE DO NOT EVER PULL INTO THE GATE THAT LEADS TO THE GRASS FIELD.  That parking is for coaches and Jesuit personnel and although tempting if the gate is open,  it is not to be used by parents.  Thank you for your help with this matter as it is dangerous with all of the kids running around at any given time on the grass fields!   I have attached a link to the facility map below.  

For the stadium turf practices please park in the main school lot labelled Main Parking on the map.  

In the event that Jesuit asks us to park in a specific area on certain days, that information will be shared in either email or our GameChanger team app.  

BOATHOUSE ORDER ENDs On September 10th

I only do this order every other year.  Right now it is set to expire on Wednesday the 6th but I am going to try to get that pushed out to Sunday.
