Cy Fair Intruders 14U: My Site News
2013 Tournament Play Begins
It has been said, “Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.” Well, the journey has begun! The coaches as well as the players are excited to take to the field this weekend and start playing again. The next two weekends will provide a lot of insight into the heart of this team. The energy and focus over the past few weeks has been great. We have a tremendous amount of talent, strong individual players and now we begin the process of building all these individual young athletes into one dynamic team.
God bless us all,
Coach Bill

The "Original" Intruder
Coach Bill recently attended the EAA Airventure air show in Oshkosh, WI. During the show Coach ran into a real Intruder. He had his photo taken in front of the Navy A6 Fighter Aircraft that this team is named after.

Intruders
Intruder - The name is taken from the military aircraft designated the A-6. The "Intruder," as it was nicknamed, joined Navy/Marine squadrons on board fleet carriers in 1964, complementing A4 and A7 aircraft in the attack role. The A6 provided the Navy with an all weather strike capability for the first time. Its design enabled it to carry both nuclear and conventional weapons, which consisted of over three dozen types of ordnance, from guided missiles to cluster munitions. Its versatility and unique ability to operate in adverse weather conditions is a fitting visual of the attitude of the Intruder players. According to their association website, when the Intruders were inbound, there was nowhere to hide - day or night. That is the reputation that we intend to uphold within the softball environment - there is nowhere to hide!
The now 14U Intruder 99 team is rebuilding the roster for 2012-13. I am very excited for this team and I am equally thankful for the support of great parents. We will be spending the month of September in training and preparation for fall tournament play. Our first tournament weekend is targeted for early October .
