The training camp for Cambrian’s varsity soccer began, unofficially, last Wednesday. In the seven days since it began, we’ve practiced 6 of the days. We’ve still got 3 practices in a row (tonight included) before we get a much deserved break over the weekend. Practice will resume on Monday, cutting into long weekend plans. The Labour Day practice is important because it demonstrates an important characteristic for any successful team; commitment.Some guys were shocked to find out we had a practice on a Sunday last week, or on a holiday next week, but it is precisely that sort of commitment that can make a team successful. We will be opening up our season against Algonquin on September 11th at 8PM, and they are not a team to take lightly. They have won the nationals in recent years in the college division, and are always a favourite to make the finals. That being said, we’re in for a tough opening day. There are a lot of new faces on the squad this year, but some key figures will be returning as well. For more on that check out Ed’s article here.
