The First Two-a-Day Practices for the Europe Warriors are in the Books!


Thursday, November 21, 2019

Finally, after a little over a year, the Europe Warriors were on the field again, this time preparing for an interesting U18 matchup between the Warriors and the Austrian National U18 Team on Sunday as part of an American football triple header.

The first game this Sunday will be a U13 Austrian all-star game followed by our game.

After our game is done the Austrian National Team will take on the Hungarian National Team in a U15 battle.

 These games will all take place at the
home field and training facility of
the Vienna Vikings

The brand new Field Turf at
our training site was AWESOME!

After our two hour morning workout, we returned to our hotel to review practice videos and meet with the squad.

In the evening we headed back to our practice facility for the day's final workout.

better looking at night

Team work and timing are critical
with only three days of practice
to prepare for Sunday's  contest

Friday is going to be a grind again

While the schedule for Friday did not include another 6:30 a.m. coaches meeting, it did not stop us from meeting and the planning of Friday's practices until 4:35 a.m. on Friday.

An adult beverage may have added to this situation.

Our staff and players seemed to be greatly enjoying the complete Europe warriors experience, I know that I am.

Stay tuned for updates . . .
