Meeting Summary

TRAINING:

1) Attendance for the most part has been good. Please do all you to make sure your son/daughter attends all training sessions. If you are running late have your son/daughter jog over to his/her training group.

2) GOAL: Our goal is to create good training habits and instill a stong work ethic into our players along with developing individual technique.

3) To become more competitive players......

The coaching staff really don't care about the scores of our games.... if we win or lose....Yes, we will win games but part of good development is also to lose.... to win all the time is NOT realistic and what will happen thru out your child's soccer career. We are trying to create good habits/technical ability now so the players can experience success as they get older.

You will see at practices games/activities that encourage your children to be competitive. The coaching staff is working hard to teach the kids to come out and compete. Some kids have it in them to just come on out and fight while others are not that way....As parents, we need to be PATIENT and always POSITIVE....this will help our children move along at his or her own pace....without frustration.

4) The coaching staff has spent the last several training sessions evaluating our children...They have ranked each player by Technical Ability. This week the first for the first training session of the week the U9's and U10's will be grouped by technical ability. The second session of each week the kids will train with their respective teams.
