Friday, April 25, 2025
Thank you to everyone who attended the kick-off event! We’re thrilled to get the season underway and to welcome back our returning coaching staff: Owen Parker, Aaron Tucker, John Bros, Rick Gittins, and myself. Additionally, we’re excited to introduce two new faces to the field this year—Zach Zimmer and Halea Picha.

Zach will be working with the 9th and B squad teams as well as goalkeepers. He brings experience from coaching club teams in Crookston, MN, and previously played as a varsity goalkeeper at East Ridge High School. Halea joins us with JV and Varsity coaching experience from Fairmont High School, Northfield High School, and Albert Lea High School. This season, she will be coaching the JV team.

We’ve seen a significant reduction in season-ending injuries thanks to proper weight training and conditioning. To help players prepare for the season, we strongly encourage them to sign up for summer conditioning camp. These camps provide invaluable instruction to ensure they’re ready to compete at their best. We are still working on coordinating weight training times with the weight trainer (please stay tuned).

Additionally, I have links to both the Fan store and the Team store. While purchases are optional, varsity players are highly encouraged to get a team shirt, jacket, and pants. The store will be open multiple times throughout the summer and again after team selections. Orders will take about a month to ship directly to your home. The fan store will also be open during these times, offering great options for family and friends—feel free to share the link!

Looking forward to an exciting season ahead!
