Training Over, Embassy Next

Hillcrest Road 10 September @ 11:40 AM EST
This morning, those that played the fewest minutes in last night's game trained for about 60 minutes at American University in D.C. They went through some passing, individual defense drills then played a small-sided game with goalkeepers and concluded with a finishing drill. Kurt Morsink, as the last to finish a cross, then had to summer salt to the halfline as the rest of his teammates cheered. Click to continue reading...

COLD Weather at Training/Demo Photos

Hillcrest Road 13 February @ 03:50 PM EST
So the weather was nice when we left from the office, but by the time the guys started knocking the ball around at 11 a.m., it was quite chilly. New draft pick Graham Zusi saw his first time in Kansas City, as did trialist Ferenc Beres. Roger Espinoza and Jack Jewsbury were back in town after National Team duty. Click to continue reading...

Training Today

Hillcrest made it out to training today for the first time in 2009. It was a fairly nice day, so that was a pleasant surprise.

New goalkeeper coach John Pascarella was there watching the 'keepers first hand for one of the first times. Click to continue reading...

Pics From Friday

Hillcrest Road 08 November @ 06:59 PM EST
We promised training photos, so here they are. Workouts were light, with PK practice at the end. I won't say the order or who went which direction; you'll just have to find out if it gets that far tonight. Enjoy pics. The weather was soccer friendly (cool and rainy), but not camera friendly, so we didn't get too many. Click to continue reading...

Practice Fun

Hillcrest Road 05 November @ 04:07 PM EST
Hillcrest had the chance to make it out to training today for the first time in a while. Saw some pretty intense back-and-forth during the 11-v-11 portion of the day and some fun stuff afterward. Herculez Gomez jumped in goal and fielded some penalty kicks from Davy Arnaud, Jack Jewsbury, Eric Kronberg, Asst Kris Kelderman and Kevin Souter. Click to continue reading...

Practice Fun

Hillcrest Road 24 September @ 01:48 PM EST
Hillcrest was able to get out to practice today and watch a pretty intense session. The guys started out with small-group passing drills, then progressed to larger full-field movement sessions before an 11-v-11 scrimmage. The temperature was perfect and led to some good up-and-down play.
I'm looking forward to watching us play Chivas USA and their bevy of former Wizards this weekend. Click to continue reading...

Welcome to Practice

Hillcrest Road 18 September @ 04:09 PM EST
Just wanted to throw up a few pictures of the group from Kansas School for the Deaf that came out to the scrimmage yesterday. The little ones were adorable and had a very good time, as our guys were gracious as always and signed many autographs. Hillcrest himself even spent a few minutes playing a fun game of keep away with the youngsters, whose mom's signed many a "thank-you" after it was over. Click to continue reading...

Practice and More

Hillcrest Road 25 February @ 07:34 PM EST
Hello all, practice went very well today. It was a little warmer than it has been lately, so the guys were happy to be outside and not needing too much clothing to keep warm. They started off with small-sided games to work on possession and then a full-field game, which ended tied at 0. After practice we concluded the photo shoot from last week.

Practice consisted mostly of some shape and possession work with 9 v 9 while the forwards worked on finishing. After that, it opened up for a scrimmage with periodic stops to work on set pieces (see wall photos below). Click to continue reading...
