PRACTICE CHANGES

Starting Wed., April 16, our practices will move to Brookfield Christian School, which is across the street from Brookfield East.

Our practice times and days will be as follows:

Mon. and Wed. from 4:00 to 6:00

Thurs: from 4:00 to 5:30.

See you all there!

Brookfield v. CMH

It was a hard loss as the Bruisers fell 24-22 to Catholic Memorial on Friday night, under the lights at Brookfield Central High School. Despite the weather taking a toll on the early practices, the Bruisers made an impressive stand against Catholic which was fresh from its tour of Ireland. The Bruisers played to the last whistle, and the match ended with Brookfield in possession and driving forward within 10 m of the CMH try-line for what would have been the go-ahead score.

Tries: Kassie W. (2); Lucy S. (2)
Conversions: Lauren F. (1); Dana A. (1).

Under the Lights

This weekend, the Bruisers will take on Catholic Memorial for the open match of the Spring 2008 Season. This will be our first game, under the lights at Brookfield Central's stadium and should be a great opportunity to show case the team.

We need to be at the field, ready to warm up at 6:00 p.m.!

Let's make these next to practices count and be ready for a great start to the season.

PRACTICE CANCELLED TODAY

DUE TO THE THUNDERSTORMS, THERE WILL BE NO PRACTICE TODAY (MONDAY, MARCH 31).

See you all on Tue. and Thurs. at 4:00 at Mary Knoll Park!

PRACTICE

• Due to the cold and the impending snow, we are cancelling practice on March 27 and 28.

• Practice will take place next week Mon. Wed. Thurs. (our normal practice nights) from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 (shortened due to the temperatures) at Mary Knoll Park. Practice next week will be held no mater what the weather.

Practice Dates and Locations

Currently, our home field (Brookfield Christian) is still very muddy and cannot sustain the wear on the field for practices. In addition, I have several work commitments that will keep me from attending our scheduled practices over the next few weeks. Therefore, I am publishing this revised practice schedule in hopes that we will be able to have practices over during the Brookfield spring break.

Please note that this practice schedule will provide us with 6 practices prior to our game with Catholic Memorial and only 9 practices prior to the Iowa trip. Practice attendance is imperative. That said, I understand that during spring break and with a changed schedule, attendance may not work for some players.

During the week of Spring Break we will practice Tuesday, March 25, Thursday, March 27, and Friday, March 28 from 4:00 to 6:00. The location is to be determined. I am working on an alternative field location and should have an answer by the end of next week.

We will resume our regular practice schedule (Mon., Wed. Thurs.) beginning on March 31. I will let you know as soon as I find out the location of our practices.

I would note for new players, that the Fall season is not so haphazard as the match schedules are established for conference play and we do not have the same problems with weather and field conditions.

Changes to the Schedule

Follow this link to the updated Spring 2008 Schedule.

These changes include the following big announcements:

1) We have moved the date and time of the games against Muskego and Catholic Memorial so that those games can be played at the Brookfield Central High School stadium. We believe this is a great opportunity to increase the profile of our team in the community.

2) We have added a tentative game against North Shore in May. This game may also be played at the Brookfield Stadium, subject to confirmation. Otherwise, we will be playing the game during that weekend.

3) The revised schedule states that outdoor practices will begin the wed. March 26. This date may be subject to change. Due to scheduling conflicts, we may attempt to schedule alternate practice dates (Tues-Thurs.-Friday) during the week of March 24. I will hopefully have this resolved my Monday's indoor practice. Beginning March 31, our practices will be our normal Mon-Wed-Thur practices from 4:00 to 6:00 at Brookfield Christian School
