'Twas the Night Before Christmas (in August)..

The brand new Utah Soccer locker room looks quiet right now; however, it will be rocking with new gear...just like Christmas... tomorrow!











Well, we are now just hours away from the beginning of our preseason...the players are tucked in their beds with visions of sugar plums (or Under Armour gear) dancing in their heads...



The beginning of training is exciting with a new team and new players around...it is also the time for new gear! Our players like to call it Christmas in August. All kinds of new training shirts, shorts, sweats, travel bags, running shoes, sports bras, shin guards and more!







On with training and the journey with a new team!

More about the new locker room to come...it is about 80% done but some important new features to come soon!

STAY TUNED...

Every Picture Tells A Story

Well, the locker room project is coming along. We are in the final stages of preparation. We have purchased some furniture and a TV to add some comfort...as well as the ability to watch some video...

And we are decorating it with photos of great team moments...moments of success, joy, celebration, teamwork...taken from some of our old games...

We thought you might enjoy a few great photos from the past. It's amazing how a photo can inspire you and put a smile on your face!

New Locker Room: What A Difference A Week Makes!

We have been super stoked about our new locker room....The transformation continues as we speak...Down in the lower floor of the HPER (Health PE and Recreation) building just below Ute Field, our new room was previously used by the world-famous Ute Ski Team. The athletic department has been generous to help us get a brand new place to meet, change and get pumped up for the games!

A couple of weeks ago we showed you pictures of an empty room...and look how fast things have changed! Already the walls have been painted, the lockers are in place and almost done and a brand-new carpet is on the floor... Check out the video. We will keep you updated as well.

Locker Room...before

Well, it's a start! The new Utah Soccer Locker Room, formerly the equipment room for the ski team (think waxing and calibrating), is on its way. The room has been cleaned out and now the painting, carpeting and ceiling renovation will begin...this process should be done by the end of June.

At that time, the lockers will be installed and the new design put into place. We are super excited and will keep you updated on the progress...D-day is August 4 as that is the first day of preseason.
For now, here is a short video of the room...

New Locker Room to be Ready For Fall Season

Although we have only a few weeks left in the spring semester, there are some important games yet to play starting with the Utah State game tomorrow night at 7 P.M. at Ute Field. It is also nice to daydream a bit about the fall season and a brand new team made up of a strong returning cast and some exciting new players.

Also fun to think about is a brand new locker room! The athletic department has been gracious enough to supply us with a room in the HPER East building (just east of Ute Field where the training room and our current locker room are located). We will have new carpet and ceiling and 26 wood lockers...wow! We also are going to add a lounge and video area as well as a space to honor our team's history.

We are super stoked about the project and will have a sparkling new room ready come August for our 2009 season! We will be raising money in order to supplement the room with some of these special features. We'll have more information and photos in the coming weeks.
