Assistant Coach, Clay Christenson gives his weekly thoughts about the team on the blog known as “From the Box”.

The team has had a week off and we’re anxious to step back on the field and prepare for two big games this weekend. Whenever the guys take a week off from training, it takes time to ramp back up to the intensity and quality of play we had before the break. As a coaching staff, we’ll do our best to minimize that time by providing a very competitive environment at practice this week. We’ll also need to get our fitness level back, which means we’ll push the players very hard today and tomorrow.

In our last match, we tied the defending PDL champs on their home field. We had opportunities to win that game and I know everyone is hungry to now play at home in front of our crowd. Six points this weekend will put us right back in the hunt for a playoff spot.Tweet
