I can't believe we are entering the 2009 pre-season in just over 60 days. This has been a process being a coach here and helping to start a new soccer program. In 06' we began as a club program. How much has changed since then. The first year was very interesting as we barley fielded a team and played just a few games. We would get around 6 at practice a few days a week. Thinking back though, I have to say that we had a few girls who could flat out play. Most of the team on the other hand never played before. The girls that could flat out play, played in 5 games as a club team, and this cost them a year of eligabilty. What a sacrafice these girls made, and because they made this sacrafice, we we're able to start the program as a varsity sport in 2007. I knew as a coach that when I came into this, I had to see the big picture, and that even though I want us to be a powerhouse..........that it is going to take time, and it is going to take sacrafice from the coaching staff and the players, and the program will move forward, ..........and it will be fun to be apart of something that is bigger than all of us involved. Now thinking about it, we have really made some big steps, and I am now even more excited to see the new team come together during the pre-season, and see what memories they can create.
Well thats all for tonight............Emeri is now rolling over and smiling alot, so I am going to go watch her and make dumb faces and funny noises.
