Thursday October 21 we had our first practice as Team Canada, we are no longer Team PEI. This is just one of many we will have before next June when we will be heading for the Special Olympics World Games in Athens Greece.
I was surprised by the condition the players were in after more than 2 months of inactivity, you would have thought they never missed a week or practice, just goes to see how much they care and the work they plan on doing so they will be excellent reps of both Team Canada & PEI.
They were a very good team in London, Ontario at the Special Olympic Canada games but believe me after another year of hard work & practice they will surprise a lot of people. As I said before I know they will win a medal, all that has to be decided is what color it will be. As for me if I had to bet I would bet on Gold.
Thursday October 28th the team will be going to Charlottetown for training for the week-end along with Team Canada officials from our national team. It will consist of a fitness test for the players & a lot of training. We will be at the indoor soccer complex on Friday & the Murphy center on Saturday & Sunday morning. I am looking forward to the week-end with the team plus a chance to meet some of team Canada officials.
I will report on the training camp next week when I return. Have a good weekend. Till my next entry.
