CHILL SBC NEWSLETTER VOL 42

BY BEN JONES

Welcome to the 42^nd instalment of the Chill SBC soccer club newsletter.

Training will take place as usual next week on Presidents Day February 15th 2010. All technical training, SAQ and team training programs will run at the normal times. If you cannot attend the session please let your coach know prior to the session.

Winter training continues tonight at the Summit, with technical training, team training and SAQ training. Players taking part in team training this week will be working on how the midfielders can receive the ball from their defenders and players taking part in technical training will work on how they can dribble to beat a defender. These are the topics for the fourth week of our renowned year round player development curriculum that sees’s players work on a different technical topic and tactical topic each week in training.

In the event of any serious weather conditions that may occur during the winter season we may decide to cancel a training session if the travel conditions are particularly dangerous. If bad weather occurs families should check for a posting on the homepage of the website to see if the practice has been cancelled. With some particularly bad weather expected tomorrow it will be important to check the website before leaving for training. We will post a message on the website by 4pm if training is cancelled for the night. If no message is present then training will go ahead as usual.

Now for this weeks GREEN CARD’s. This week’s green cards go the U14 Boys and U12 Boys for an impressive display in the SBC league this weekend. The boys played with speed, skill and intelligence as they recorded two wins this weekend.

As we announced last week the club tryouts for the 2010-11 seasons will take place on Saturday June 12^th, Sunday June 13^th and Monday 14^th June at East Lansing Soccer Complex. Please save the date as new and existing players are required to try out at this time. Tryouts will be held for U9-U18 boys and girl’s teams with multiple teams offered in some age groups. Full information for the tryouts will be posted on the website in the coming weeks so be sure to check out www.chillsoccer.com or contact me for more details.

I would also like to take this opportunity to let everyone know that the club will again be attending the Canton Cup in Canton, MI on May 28^th-30^th. We had a fantastic time at the Canton Cup last year and we will once again spend our Memorial Day weekend at the tournament. All teams will attend the tournament and we are hoping that the weekend will be even more successful than last year. I will be sending out some information with regards to hotels for the tournament closer to the time but we will look to house the whole club in one location like we did at the Midland Tournament in the fall. If families would prefer to make the drive to the tournament each day that is fine and one of the many advantages of this close to home tournament. It should be a great weekend.

Now for this weeks GREEN CARD. This week’s green card goes to the U11 Girls team. The team receives this green card for a great practice session last Monday night and a great performance in the SBC League on Saturday. The girls displayed focus, determination and skill in both the practice and game and although they came out on the losing end of the game they put in one of their best performances to date. Well done girls and keep up the great work!

Last week was the biggest and best opening week of technical training we have ever had with lots of familiar faces and new members of the Chill family stepping through the doors of the Summit. Over 70 players took advantage of our great new SAQ training program and a further 180 spaces taken for our renowned technical training program. With new players joining daily this winter looks like begin our best yet and we are really excited to continue training tonight at the Summit.

Now for this weeks GREEN CARD’s.

First green cards this week go to Hailey Conine and Abraham Johnson. These two players receive green cards this week for making the state ODP team for their respective age groups. Both players were identified for ODP back in August and have made it through the final weekend of cuts early in November. Hailey and Abe are now working hard at the state ODP training to try to make the jump to the regional pool. Well done guys we are very proud of you for representing yourselves and the club at the ODP level. Good luck in the next stage of the process.

Second green card this week goes to our newly formed U10 Girls team who played their first game together at soccer zone this past weekend. Although the game eventually ended in a tight loss the girls played extremely well and impressed coach Stuart with their skills and effort. Good luck to all the girls for the rest of the indoor season!

Indoor games have now begun and you can find the schedules for your team at www.lansingindoorsportsarena.com. The U10 girls can find their schedule at www.soccer-zone.com. A reminder that players can wear their outdoor cleats for all games at LISA and will need either outdoor cleats or indoor shoes at soccer zone. Payments for the indoor games are due now.
