Feb 14, 2009 Notes from Coach Sean

Hi Danger fans and Happy Valentines,

Not too much to report this week, we had a great meeting this past monday and worked out alot of things regarding the season.

Kelly has finalised the tournaments and picture days where we will show off our new uniforms, these are posted on here. Heather Carter will be working on scheduling the other games. Home and away, and please note that we have changed our home venue to Memorial Park.

Nina Owen will be in charge of fund raising and this is an area that im really excited about and i know shes going to do such a great job!

we have one week until the try outs, to make it as fair as possible i am having four coaches voluntarily be there, all of different generations and experience regarding soccer and coaching levels, (i being one of them) all four judges will be judging players and grading them throughout the session. At the end i will count up all the points and the top 12 will make the squad, we cant say fairer than that! i dont want it to be just one person's decision, to avoid any bias and any favoritism i feel this will be the best way to do things, after all, im sure there are going to be some great players there next week!

After the tryouts each person will have to log onto this website and my new blog, where i will post the squad for the spring 2009 season! i toyed with the idea of calling each player and their parents and explaining why they did or didnt make the squad but i simply do not have the time in my schedule to do that. If anyone wants to call me however they are more than welcome!

At tryouts the coaching will be split between myself and Denny, i want to take a little bit of a backseat so i can take everything in. During the season i will take a more hands on role, starting with 'team camp' on march 2nd. I also want to note that the 23rd through the 28th is the older Danger camp, if you guys want to come and watch feel free, practice will be from 530 until 7 that week.

Cant wait to see you guys next week, please make sure the kids bring plenty of fluids and are dressed appropriatly for soccer and the weather conditions, it may also be beneficial for them to have a good stretch of the muscles in the days prior to tryouts, this can prevent cramps and soreness. Make sure the players are ready to practice, not ready for recess or a gossip session, this will affect their overall grades!

have a great week, and see you saturday!

Coach Sean
