Though our 12&Under season is over after this weekend, all players 12&Under and 10&Under can attend our final week of practice on Monday, November 6 and Wednesday, November 8. Next week, both Monday and Wednesday, we will follow the same schedule except that from 7-7:30pm, ALL players will be invited to create a few Christmas ornaments for our tree at the Brookfield Zoo. Coaches will supply all the materials as well as the Christmas music. We'll create our ornaments in Room 15. ALL groups will finish practice at 7pm. Once players are changed, they can meet the coaches to create some ornaments for the tree.

Brookfield Zoo Team Trip: On Sunday, November 19 from 10am-1pm, Windy City will be at the zoo to decorate our Christmas tree AND explore the zoo. We will meet outside the main entrance (before you go into the tunnel) at the zoo at 10am. We will then go in as a team. First, we'll head to our Christmas tree to put up our ornaments. Then, as a team, we'll go check out some of our favorite animals. It was cold last year, but we still had a great time.

I have 20 free tickets and 5 free parking passes! I will give these out on a first come, first serve basis. While these tickets can be used for players, parents, or family alike, I will ONLY physically give the tickets and passes to parents so that they don't wind up soggy at the bottom of a player's swim bag. Once these tickets are gone, all players, parents, and family will have to pay the normal zoo admission (or depending on when we know we need the extra tickets, I may be able to get a few discounted passes for $10 a person). If you are interested in tickets, please email me. Again, these tickets are for players, parents, and families. These are the only free tickets we have. If you want to join us at the zoo, you will need to get a free ticket from me OR you will need to purchase your own ticket. In the past, we've had some carpools and zoo members who were able to bring a player or two in for free, but this is not always the case. If you have any questions, please let me know! Parents and families are always welcomed!
