Yes, I actually went to a soccer tournament today without my pre-wrap. Not a single roll. Usually our trunk is full of pre-wrap, but today...not a roll...not a piece...not even in the bottom of my soccer bag.
So, today I was a pre-wrap beggar. I can't play without it. One of my teammates told me I have pre-wrap obsessive-compulsive disorder. LOL. I guess I am in the right business. At least everyone else seemed to remember theirs!

Busy but fun Holiday time at Pre-wrap.com
Very exciting - PLAYSOCCER from the AYSO (American Youth Soccer Organization) has put out a special holiday issue with a holiday gift guide. Yes, you can us us there on page 25! They have some great ideas for the soccer kid in your life from cool ipod cases to dvd ideas.
Have you seen Her Best Move? It looks like a great gift idea but I can't find the ordering info. Wonder if they are wearing pre-wrap...
We're used to getting phone calls from moms, dads, and coaches, but this week has been fun because your grandmas are calling us! The phone has been ringing off the hook and one grandmother confessed that her twin granddaughters convinced her to try pre-wrap when she "attends to her face" and now she doesn't use anything else. Do you use prewrap when you put on make-up or wash your face?

Now I'm a Volleyball Mom

This year my daughter decided to give volleyball a try. It's our first fall season without soccer and I was wondering whether I'd miss it. I miss watching her run, that's for sure. I don't miss sitting out in the cold rain. Nope, I've traded that for a nice hard seat in the bleachers! The girls head to the high school for six in the morning! I've never seen such a group of dedicated girls. My dd doesn't want to miss a single minute of being at practice. Huh? This is my kid? I've got new rules to learn. I still have to figure out what "side out" means. Any one want to fill me in?

Sporty Hairstyles for You and Your Team
Technorati Tags:
pre-wrap, prewrap, sports hairstyle, athletic hairstyle
Chances are if you've been to a tournament, you have done the pre-game ritual of creating a unifying hairstyle for your team! Whether you all gather in someone's hotel room and french-braid each other's hair or bring coordinating ribbons or pre-wrap to wear, you know what I mean.
Some of the best bonding can happen at these out-of-state tournaments. A few tips - start early! French-braiding takes time and often only a few girls and moms are really good at it. Don't forget to use suntan lotion! If you aren't used to wearing braids, your scalp can get burned quickly. We like the spray-on kind best for this.
Take pictures! There's nothing like having pictures of your team the field! With digital cameras, you have no excuse. It's great for those end of the year slideshows.
Want more ideas for hairstyles? Head over here for some great suggestions!

Welcome UK Pre-wrappers! Rumour has it, pre-wrap is harder to find in the U.K. than it is in the U.S. Problem solved - we now ship overseas! We stock all colors and you can have 'em in about a week. We'll ship athletic tape, too, but haven't quite gotten that far on our site yet. Have questions, want a quote on something...just drop us a note and we'll get right back to you. Why settle for boring old natural pre-wrap when you can have ten others to choose from. Oh...of course, we have the athletic tape to match (in case you actually use it for it's intended purpose and not in your hair!).

Went to my dd's soccer game. (It's a high school summer league) The coach is really casual and gave the girls this message: "Don't worry about winning. Have fun. Don't get hurt." The sentiments are nice, although interesting to watch as the opposing team's coach yelled non-stop throughout the game. He wasn't mean or offensive. He had a comment for everything and everyone. My daughter is new to this soccer team. It's a great way for the girls to get to know each other in the off-season, plus keep in shape during the summer.

Clueless Mom Learns About Pre-wrap
Technorati Tags:
pre-wrap, prewrap, soccer mom, soccer tournament
I guess I am a clueless mother, because I had never heard of pre-wrap when my daugher first asked for it. I searched all over the mall, the drugstores, the Walmarts of the world and could not find this perfect headband. "It's the only thing that works," she'd whine. "I need it!" Need? A silly headband? What about the fifty in her drawer?
Since my kid didn't even care what her hair looked like, I was intrigued by this mother-of-all inventions. I finally found it on eBay and bought 8 rolls. "That's it!" she shreiked when it came through the door. What is pre-wrap? Did other mothers go through this, too?
Now I see it everywhere. Soccer girls, volleyball girls, field hockey girls...even the Tennessee Lady Vols softball team have pre-wrap in their hair. You know why? Simply stated, it works. It doesn't slip off your head. It keeps your hair out of your eyes. It's cheap. It's fun. It's colorful.
Watch a girl take a roll out. Within seconds, everyone else is grabbing pieces of the prewrap. Even girls that don't know what it is can't resist. If you use it you know - if you don't then you don't know what you're missing!
Pre-wrap your hair! It works.

Do you wear pre-wrap? Do you match your colors to your uniform?
Have you tried anything different with it like braiding or twisting two or more colors together? Have you made bows, french-braided it into your hair, or worn it wide and flat like a headband?
We want your ideas!

Another Heartbreaking Lightning Strike
From the New York Post
GONE IN A FLASH
By C.J. SULLIVAN and NEIL GRAVES
July 24, 2006 -- Two New Jersey teens were killed and two others injured when a lightning bolt struck them on a Montvale field during a four-man soccer game, officials said yesterday.
The two injured teens were saved likely because they ran for cover when the thunderstorm struck Saturday evening. Their tragic friends had only walked.
Police said the fatally struck victims, Lee Weisbrod, 19, of River Vale and Steven Fagan, 18, of Woodcliff Lake, were caught out in the open at about 6 p.m., when a thunderstorm suddenly hit and they walked off the field toward cover.
The survivors, Christopher Frasciello, 19, and Jordan Zubalsky, 18, both of Montvale, sprinted off the field, then looked back to see their friends struck down, cops said.
One of the survivors ran toward the adjacent Montvale Memorial School and called 911 on his cellphone, police said.
Gary Zubalsky, father of Jordan, said the sprint probably saved his son's life.
------
How many times have we been on the soccer field and prayed for the storm to stay far enough away? If you're a soccer parent, for sure you know the annoying "30-minute" wait after each lightning bolt. Listening to the kids whine, watching the coaches pace, hearing the groans with each new strike. I've heard people complain about the officials "just wanting to go home" and players begging to get back on the field. Half the time, the kids and parents aren't even staying in their cars.
A good rule to follow is the ‘30-30 Rule’ which offers The Best Lightning Safety Guidance For The General Public. When You See Lightning, Count The Time Until You Hear Thunder. If That Is 30 Seconds Or Less, The Thunderstorm Is Close Enough To Be Dangerous – Seek Shelter (if you can’t see the lightning, just hearing the lightning is a good back-up rule). Wait 30 Minutes Or More After The Lightning Flash Before Leaving Shelter.
My heart goes out to the families of these young athletes. We can't always be with our kids at every game or pracice, but when we are there we must do all we can to ensure the safety of ALL. Be smart.

Keep Your Hair Out of Your Eyes!
If you’re tired of trying find ways to keep your daughter’s hair out of her eyes, take a tip from college athletes. Use pre-wrap! Pre-what? Yes, pre-wrap. Also called underwrap, pre-wrap is designed to go underneath athletic tape to keep tape from sticking to your skin. Some athlete must have forgotten a headband and grabbed a roll in desperation! Now hugely popular with teenage athletes, girls have found a fun way to keep their hair out of their face! The foamy material sticks to itself and has enough grip to stay on your head but doesn’t stick to your hair. Regular headbands slip off easily. Who wants to fuss with hair during a game or practice?
Pre-wrap comes in eleven colors: black, blue, green, maroon, natural, orange, hot pink, light pink, purple, red and yellow and sells for $2.00 to $3.00 a roll. You can buy it in most sporting good stores or online. Although many sports leagues prohibit the use of hair accessories, pre-wrap is permitted. While many girls coordinate their pre-wrap with their team colors, lots just use it to go with whatever outfit they are wearing that day. It’s a great way to show school or team spirit!

Words to Ponder
Thought this was interesting...
Days spent on the field, crazy parties I missed, weekend
hang outs blown, hours of hard work, tons of sweat,
never ending plane rides, late night bus
trips,thousands of dollars spent, sneakin out on
tournaments, screaming coaches, bad refs, not getting
the boy of your dreams because you didnt have enough
time to spend with him, at times, wanting to give it all up,
being on the road for your birthday, having everyone in
the crowd watch you as you own on a breakaway,
leaving the night of christmas for some tournament,
missing school vacations and summer break to try out
for teams, moving to a different state just because the
teams better, tears, blood shed, broken bones, your
teams bullshit, trying to explain your game to your
friends at school who have no idea what your talking
about, losing friends because you have practice the day of
their birthday, BIG DREAMS. Would I change any of it? NO WAY!
WHY? Because theres no better feeling in the
world than when the game is over and your family comes
to greet you because you played outta your mind and you
got the W, not your parents and brother, but your 17
sisters who are there through more then your other family is,
doing a sweet step over, making a filthy save, or
winning the championship. All this after months of hard
work. That's my life.

Do you pre-wrap your hair?
Hey, do you even know what pre-wrap is? Chances are, if you're playing a sport and are over the age 14 you know exactly what I'm talking about! What else can you use that will keep your hair out of your face and actually stay on your head so that you can focus on your game!
