 Training Today/Media Frenzy

Greetings Hillcrest loyalists, hopefully you're enjoying this chilly March day in KC. The guys got after it today after posing for a team picture. Practice was pretty standard. The goalkeepers trained on their own while the field players did a passing drill (three teams total with two teams on the inside and a third team around the field for wall-pass purposes). Eventually the guys joined together to play the same drill, this time with 'keepers.

After practice, Piojo and Ivan Trujillo were available for media. It was somewhat of a circus (in a good way), as nearly all our major media outlets were in attendance. Piojo and Ivan spoke to English-speaking reporters through a translator then had a word with KC Univision. Check the newscasts tonight and look for a report in the Star tomorrow. Coach, Piojo, Ivan, Jimmy and Hartman each spoke to reporters.

After the impromptu press conference, Piojo and Ivan posed for some pictures similar to what the rest of the guys did last month. We'll post a few of those in a little bit.

Don't forget about Thursday's event. We plan on having a good time with everyone.
