Sporting OC (if weather permits) we will be playing Week #5 of the FALL/WINTER Season on Sunday, Oct. 25th, 2026 against DEP. HALCÓN in TWILA REID PARK #1 (ORANGE & HALLIDAY ST.) at 8:00 a.m. (please be there at 7:30 a.m. so that we can set up the nets). We will need EVERYONE to be there early.
Our last 4-2 victory should be something to proud of. However, it wasn’t a good performance in terms of attitude and team behavior. We were the victors of the contest, and we decided to walk off the field with conformity, dignity and sportsmanship. It seemed like we were the ones defeated and arguing amongst each other. That needs to stop.
This will be the last week that we can play with last season’s card.
New season. New mentality. Fresh & clean slate.
Let’s be fired up, and ready to go as we cannot give away any handicaps. Let’s do this! The season flows at a quick rate.
Every match matters. Especially in the early portion of the season.
As we’ve seen in the past, there is no margin of error for “slow starters”. We are capable of great things when we have FULL PERSONNEL and a POSITIVE ATTITUDE. The !
For this Sunday we will NEED:
*** EXACT REFEREE MONEY.
•Referee fee is EXACTLY $10 per player for each game. Keep in mind that with the start of the new season, we all need to chip in $10 for team registration, and $35 for the new uniform, if you haven’t done so already.
• We require full compromise and commitment from everyone, whoever joins please do it for more than two games. We really need to make something out of this season. Having a large roster and only have at most 16 people show up for the meaningful games is not condoned. Those who can’t make at least half of the games, please let me know.
WE WILL ALL NEED:
• POSITIVE ATTITUDE (MOST IMPORTANT ONE OF THEM ALL). We're not professional gentlemen. There is no need to be degrading our teammates when things aren't clicking.
• Let's be competitive all the way to the end.
• We need EVERYONE who is COMMITTED to be there ON TIME for proper warm-ups, set up the nets and have proper planning.
• UNEXCUSED absences will no longer be tolerated.
• PLEASE keep in mind that we will be wearing our:
• Black & white striped shirt with orange typography.
• Solid black shorts.
• Pink socks in observation of Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀 (which will be provided. Quantities are limited).
• Those who will not be making the game please notify the team so we can put together a backup plan.
