Tuesday Training Location Change

Starting this week, Tuesday night training will be held at Bonita Cove Park in Mission Beach, across from the roller coaster.  Training will still start at 6:30.  Since the time has changed, we'll have some daylight to do some skills work, and then finish up with a short fitness session.  See the training location page (http://www.sandiegolions.com/page/training-loc-1) if you need a map.

SCAFL Round 4 Match Report

San Diego Lions hit their straps in LA on diet of Dog’s eyes and Wet Cement

Bob Bitmead

March 3, 2013, San Pedro. Eight days after a feast of meat pies (a.k.a. Dog’s eyes in rhyming slang) and home brewed beer denominated Wet Cement for its ability to improve scale weight of cattle at sale, the San Diego Lions took on the LA South Bay Outlaws at their home ground in San Pedro. Prior to this meeting the Outlaws had been unbeaten and the Lions unsung. It was top of the ladder versus bottom in an away game for the Lions. The Lions came away with the points and the pride.

SCAFL Round 4

After a SCAFL bye week last week, the Lions are back to the normal training and game schedule this week.  Tuesday night fitness at 6:30pm at Mission Bay and Thursday night training at 7pm at North Clairemont Rec Center.  You can find a map of the two training locations here: http://www.sandiegolions.com/page/training-loc-1

On Sunday, the Lions will travel to San Pedro to take on the South Bay Outlaws.  The Outlaws are unbeaten so far this year, and the Lions are looking for their first win.

Game Time: 11:30am
Location: Field of Dreams, San Pedro, CA

Our first SCAFL game is this Sunday in Riverside at 11am.  Thundersky Park, Riverside.
To carpool, meet at 8:30am at the Del Mar Park 'n Ride (12791 Sorrento Valley Road, San Diego, CA 92130)

Field location and carpool time and location are all on facebook and the Lions website.

Instead of using the google spreadsheet this year to let us know when you're available to play, I'm going to try out using Facebook events for the first couple of games to see if that's easier to track...which is to say, see if anyone actually responds.

So, I've created a facebook event for the first game and it's up on the Lions facebook page.  It's an open event, so you should be able to just go to "events" on the page and say whether you're coming.  If you don't have facebook, just send me an email each week to let me know whether you're playing.

Tuesday Night Fitness Training Location and Time Change

We're changing our Tuesday night fitness training location from UCSD to Mission Bay.  See the map for the exact location.  http://goo.gl/maps/YdjhX 

Since the location is a little less centrally located than UCSD, we'll, move the start time to 6:30 pm to give everyone a little more time to get there.
