Notes from Coach Sean, Feb 28th, 09

Hi everyone,

its saturday and time to talk, all things Danger!

To be honest there isnt much to report except that were all gearing up for a good week of practice starting monday. Kelly has done a great job ordering the warm up suits and tactic board for practice and game use!

Monday i had a few spare hours so i got out and sold some of that lovely toffee! I havent had time to since then, i managed to sell 38 bags monday to add to the 40 last week.

The older Danger had their camp this week and they had a great week! Sophie Carter came and helped them out in the scrimmage game today and did extremely well. Late in the 2nd half of the game she went on a mazy run beating 2 or 3 people and shot just wide from 15 yards.

Looking forward to seeing you all this monday and hoping that you are getting the kids ready to work!

have a great weekend

Hi Danger followers,

I trust youve all warmed up since being out in the rain this morning. I felt practice went fine this morning, we saw some good things and some things that need a little attention. But at this stage of our players lives that is no surprise. If they didnt have things to work on they would be famous and worth millions.

Thanks to you all for coming out and watching, i know that must have been tough in the rain.

Here is our squad (in Alphabetical order) and the relative details you need. I apologise for any spelling mistakes

Erika Blaine
Kara Grace Brogdon
Riley Browning
Sophie Carter
Gracie Clayton
Chyna Haas
Kaylynn Jarnigan
Sami Millette
Giovanna Owen
Allison Reagor
Leila Summers
Rudi Beth Wimberley

The team Captain will be Giovanna Owen, while Sophie Carter will be the co-captain and will wear the arm band should Giovanna not be on the field!

Camp will be at memorial field from 430 until 6 the week of March 2nd and will run through until March 6th.

Players are expected to be at every practice and i do not tolerate showing up late or missing practice, i do not also tolerate misbehavior, should a player not do what i tell them they will no longer be a part of the team, i have no problem removing a player from my squad at any time of the season! This does not just apply to players, i expect parents to behave with respect and order, if you do not, your child will suffer! Simple as that

Kelly will be in touch with all of the details this upcoming week, we are going to be ordering warm ups in the next few days while the new uniforms are already on their way.

As i said last week, the u12 danger will have camp this week starting monday from 530 until 7 at Memorial park, if you want to, please feel free to come and watch.

Have a great week and i will see you guys on the 2nd.

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!

Hi Danger followers, welcome to a new era in Danger Soccer.

As coach of the team i'm planning on blogging every now and again, mainly to comment on how the team are doing.

Lots to report so far with this being the first blog. I have been working closely with Kelly while liasoning with Denny and other people who have helped me gain lots of information regarding the players, club and supporters - haha.

This week has been spent planning for practices, i have managed to 'get organised' i have made up my session ideas and plans while also getting prepared for tryouts.

I know alot of you are ready for the season to get cranked up. I think we're in for an exciting one, i hope you guys are getting the kids ready for the season, it's going to be exciting but its going to be very hard, not only for the kids but for the parents, being a soccer mom is a big commitment!

We get the ball rolling with try-outs on the 21st of this month, if you guys know anyone who is eligible and has the ability to play with us, have them come out. remember the Birthdates have to fall between 8/01/98 and 7/31/00.

On a very exciting note, our fabulous General Manager Kelly has been working hard behind the scenes, if you all (y'all - haha) could only imagine how many hours of hard work she has done, and indeed spent on the phone with me! Keep up the good work Kelly! I am excited that she has managed to get the uniforms ordered and as far as i know they will be here for the start of camp which is March 2nd through 6th.

Finally i would like to encourage you guys to comment on these blogs, Parent input can be very helpful, it is you guys who pay the fee's, i'd like to hear from you regarding your points of view during the season! I'm going to keep up with blogging once a week hopefully.

Thanks for reading, look forward to seeing you all soon

Cheers

Coach Sean

Action!
