Conditioning starts next week! Please be aware of the new policy this year that requires the sports packet to be completed, INCLUDING a physical, before students can participate in ANY workouts, camps, or conditioning. Until especially the physical and insurance forms are completed, I have to turn away girls from conditioning and Open Gym.
Conditioning is not mandatory, but is EXTREMELY important for anyone who is expecting to play Varsity or have a starting role on a lower level team. We MUST be in shape as a team if we want to compete and win games.
If you have to work or for whatever reason cannot make conditioning, you are expected to work out on your own as much as possible!
RUN. Get outside or use a treadmill and get your endurance up.
SITUPS & PUSHUPS: if you are terrible at these google a 30-day routine to get started.
BALL TOUCHES: do whatever you can to touch a soccer ball for at least 20 minutes every day. Juggle. Kick against a wall. Pass with a friend or family member. Find a goal at a park and shoot.

CONDITIONING UPDATE!
We will not be able to get into the weight room until November 15th. So until then, as long as the weather holds, we will meet on the track/football field after school for conditioning. We will work on speed, endurance, change of direction and ball work along with some core work. We will NOT be playing soccer, but will work with the ball some. You will not need shinguards at all, but should have BOTH cleats and running shoes. We will do some distance running on the track, hills, stairs, etc. and will work on the field turf some as well where you may want cleats to have better traction.
Once November 15th hits, we will transition into the MEETING IN THE WEIGHT ROOM immediately after school.
10/7/21
FIRST TEAM MEETING NOTES and INFORMATION
The plan is to start our off season conditioning routine on Tuesday, October 26th after school. I will keep you posted on WHERE we will meet. I was incorrectly told we could have the weight room right after school which may not happen until November 15th. So we will still be working out, but will most likely NOT meet in the weight room to start.
Tuesdays - after school 3:15pm-4:00pm
Wednesdays - evening OPEN GYM in the Aux gym 7:00pm-8:00pm
Thursdays - after school 3:15pm-4:00pm
Conditioning is optional for any FALL or WINTER sport athletes, but should be thought of as mandatory for anyone else who is expecting to play Varsity or have a starting role on a lower level team. We MUST be in shape as a team if we want to compete and win games.
If you have to work or for whatever reason cannot make conditioning, you are expected to work out on your own as much as possible!

ALL of you need to stop by the main office and tell Mrs. Woodard that you intend to play soccer so she can get you on the correct list and get you started on your necessary paperwork including your sports physical. This should be done NEXT WEEK if at all possible.
TRYOUTS will be Monday, February 28th, Tuesday, March 1st, and Wednesday, March 2nd.

Here are the updates for the Spring Sports Guidelines! I highlighted what I felt was most important for our sport. Still have not made a decision on if we will be wearing masks during games and practices yet. DEFINITELY wearing them 100% for tryouts.
2021 SPRING SPORTS GUIDELINES

We are officially starting preseason conditioning events!
Please be aware that if you are currently signed up for FULL REMOTE LEARNING, Omaha Public Schools is NOT allowing participation in clubs, activities or athletics. If you wish to change to our in person 3/2 model, email your counselor and Assistant Principal Chad Price at chad.price@ops.org
For all events, both Open Gym and after school conditioning, MASKS ARE REQUIRED at ALL TIMES. Most players feel that the disposable blue masks offer the most breathability while exercising!
Wednesdays is OPEN GYM play for all girls interested. Time will be from 7:00-8:00 in the Auxillary Gym every Wednesday in January and February. This is open to all girls and is simply a chance to get in the gym and get some playing time in. (This has no weight on making a team in the Spring, but may help your chances by getting better!) Be sure to bring water, shinguards and a mask.
Starting the week of January 18th, we will begin our after school workouts from 3:10-4:00. This will include plyometrics, core work and strength and conditioning work. Again, be sure to have your mask and water, as the water fountains at Burke are not available. We will meet TUESDAYS and THURSDAYS through January and February. This is also NOT mandatory but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to get us all into the best shape possible for the season. There is a 8:15 mile requirement to be eligible to make the Varsity Team.

We have decided to CANCEL our Summer Camp for this year due to the COVID-19 outbreak and social distancing concerns. Current restrictions are set to be lifted May 31st, but I feel our camp date is too close to that in case it would be extended. And the safety of our campers is our top concern. We look forward to next summer and a return to "normal"!

Our season came to an end last night at the District A6 semifinal game vs #1 seeded Lincoln Southwest. The girls played an amazing first half, holding them to only one early goal due to some miscommunication. We settled in for the rest of the half and battled hard. But then the second half got away from us and we ended up losing 7-0. Every single player got into the game last night and all of the seniors ended their final game on the field.
We will definitely miss these seniors, but will continue to build on the foundation they have added to for the Burke girls soccer program. We wish all of our seniors the best in their endeavors after graduation.
Out of the 21 girls on the Varsity team this year, 12 had never played at the varsity level before. That experience will be extremely beneficial for next year's team!

District runner-up again. Not where we want to end the season, but we're getting better. We won more games than any Burke girls team in the last 6 years. We met our goal of playing for the championship of all of the invites we play in.
Runner-up in Cheiftan Invite vs. Kearney (lost 0-1 in a shootout)
Champion of Central invite vs. Central (won 4-2)
Runner-up in Burke Invite vs. Mercy (lost 0-1 in a shootout)
Runner-up in Clash of the Classes Invite vs. Marian (lost 0-1)
Runner-up in District A4 vs. Lincoln SW (lost 0-3)
Amazing group of girls that never gave up on each other all season. We're sending off 8 special seniors, 4 of whom will be playing in college. Thank you to ALL of my players and coaches for a special season! Couldn't have asked for a better group of girls! And they always had each other's backs. Thanks ladies! #OneTeamOneFight

A hard loss Wednesday night for our team. After battling since the first week of the season though injury after injury, illnesses and injury, oh and injury, we accomplished one of our season goals of making it to the District Championship game. After our Monday upset of #1 seeded Norfolk (who won the wild card today and made it to the State Tournament with the help of Millard South who upset Lincoln Southeast) we faced #7 Papillion LaVista for a chance to go to State. We played 50 minutes of scoreless soccer until they finally netted the lone goal and game winner, 10 minutes into the 2nd half. Our players pushed and pushed and just couldn't get dangerous shots on goal. Sophomore captain Holli Knudsen played through an extremely painful back injury to record 15 saves on the night, and help keep it close. Every player played their heart out and left it all on the field.
I have never been more proud of a team I have coached than this year's team. It would have been easy after that first week to just give up on the season, and really any time after as we added injury after injury, but these girls NEVER gave up. They battled and worked and fought in every game we played against every opponent. No team was better suited for being BETTER THAN THEIR RECORD. A special thanks to the seniors and everyone else who made the season something special.
