BY BEN JONES
Welcome to the 46th instalment of the Chill SBC soccer club newsletter. Training continues as usual this week. Goalkeeper training will also take place as usual on Friday night with Coach Robert standing in for Jeremy this week to work with the goalkeepers.
The club recently announced the new Spring Technical Training Program that will begin April 12th and run for 8 weeks on Monday and Thursdays. The program will provide a great opportunity for all Mid Michigan soccer players to take part in supplementary training with members of the Chill SBC coaching staff. The aim of this program is to provide those players with the desire to improve with excellent technical training with a professional coach at an affordable price of $50. A small player to coach ratio of 15:1 will ensure that players are placed in an optimal learning environment. The program will follow the clubs proven player development curriculum with players working on a different technical topic each week. Players will learn the game through the use of green cards and the clubs unique strengths based coaching philosophy. For more information please check out the details on the website or contact me via phone or email. To register for this great program please complete and mail in the registration form under the documents tab on the website.
Everyone should have received an email from me this week with regard to the accommodation for the Midland Tournament. We have three different options for which we have secured group rates or families can secure their own hotel arrangements if they would like. If anyone has any questions about the hotel arrangements please just let me know. I will send out hotel information for the Canton Cup later this week once I have finalised the group rates.

Congratulations to the U13 Girls Blue who won the CMU Soccerfest on February 21st 2010!
The girls arrived as defending champions after taking home the trophy last year in a shootout. The team went undefeated in the first three games of the tournament to reach the championship game.
This years final proved to be just as exciting as last year with the girls coming from behind in regular time to force an overtime period. The girls scored early in the overtime period to finish the day as champions once again!
Welldone girls! We are very proud of all of you!

Welcome to the 44th instalment of the Chill SBC soccer club newsletter. A reminder that training will take place as usual tonight (Monday 22nd February).
I would like to begin this week’s newsletter by congratulating the U13 Girls Blue team on their successful day at the CMU Soccerfest on Sunday. The girls played up an age division in the U14 division and came away as Champions after a hard fought final game which they won in overtime. The girls displayed great skill and determination to come from behind to win in two of the four games and fully deserved to lift the trophy at the end of the day. I hope that this day will spur the girls on to a successful third indoor session and spring season. Great stuff girls we are very proud of every one of you.

Third green card this week goes to the U11 Girls team for a very impressive 0-0 tie with the U12 girls on Saturday afternoon in the SBC League. The girls have found the going pretty tough against the boys and older girls during this session of league play but have stuck together and improved every week. They fully deserve this green card for their hard work, commitment and ability to stay positive during the course of the session.

Welcome to the 41st instalment of the Chill SBC soccer club newsletter.
As we announced last week the club tryouts for the 2010-11 seasons will take place on Saturday June 12th, Sunday June 13th and Monday 14th 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 28th-30th. 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!

CHILL SBC NEWSLETTER VOL 39
BY BEN JONES
Welcome to the 39th instalment of the Chill SBC soccer club newsletter. I hope this note finds you well on MLK Jnr Day. A reminder that all training will take place as usual tonight starting at 6pm at the Summit.
I would like to begin this newsletter by thanking all the players and families for a great first week back at training last week. The Summit was full of familiar faces as well as a lot of new members to the Chill SBC family as our Technical training, SAQ and Team training programs began. We have had an excellent response to the programs we are offering and as a result we only have a few spaces left in each session. It is great to see the training sessions full of players enjoying the game and learning through our unique Strengths Based Coaching philosophy. As a reminder each week players taking part in the technical training program will work on a different topic from the clubs proven player development curriculum. Last week players looked to improve their short passing technique with both the inside and the outside of the foot. Players were then asked to apply these techniques in a series of small sided games to see if their newly improved technique could hold up under pressure. This week players will improve their defending as an individual through more technical exercises and small sided games. It should be another great week.
Now for this weeks GREEN CARDS. This week’s first green card goes to Tori Stuzman, Kayla Blohm, Anna Blohm, McKenzie Lowery and Renne Pappe for helping out the U14 boys on Saturday at short notice. Thanks for the help girls!! Second green card this week goes to Ian Leischnig after a great game for the U12 boys on Saturday. Ian is still recovering from a horrific broken leg in fall 2008 and it was great to see him back looking as sharp as ever. Final green card this week goes to Coach Rob and Coach Stu for their work this week to help me get training back up and running to full speed and for taking some awesome sessions for the players. Keep up the great works guys.
Last Saturday saw the first round of games in our newly formed SBC Soccer League. The league was designed to provide current Chill SBC players with an opportunity to play more competitive games at a price that is affordable enough that every player in the club can take part. The league is structured so that Chill SBC teams play against other Chill SBC teams either of the same age, slightly older or younger or boys and girls teams can play one another. You can find a full schedule and further details of the league under the SBC league tab on the website. You can also find the update league table and top goal scorer list under the same tab. Below are the results from the first weekend of games.
U11 Girls 1 – U12 Girls 4
U11 Boys 1 – U12 Boys 3
U10 Boys White 2 – U10 Boys Blue 4
U13 Girls White 0 – U13 Girls Blue 5
U13 Boys 4 – U14 Boys 1
I am already looking forward to the next round of games on Saturday; it should prove to be another great indoor season of games. Thanks to everyone who made the $50 payment for the league this weekend, if you missed me at the games feel free to find me next weekend or at training this week.
In other news, The Michigan State men's soccer program will host its Elite Winter Prospect Academy on Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010.

The cost of the daylong camp is $150 and will feature direction from MSU head coach Damon Rensing and staff along with current Spartan players.

I will be available at training this week to take any payments for the Winter and Spring training fees. The fees for all U9-U12 teams are $630. Fees for U13-U14 teams are $780.

BY BEN JONES
Welcome to the 34th instalment of the Chill SBC soccer club newsletter. I hope that everyone had a great thanksgiving and took a well earn break from work to spend some time with loved ones.
It is hard to believe that we are entering the fourth week of our indoor programs! This week in technical training players will be learning the techniques of defending as individuals and in small groups. With things in full swing it is scary to think that Christmas will be upon us soon and its time to begin to think about training and games in January. I will be sending each team a plan for January games this week so please keep a look out for that and let me know your thoughts.
Please note that Indoor training schedules for Team training in January are now on the website. Technical training, SAQ training and Goalkeeper training will be posted on the website later today. Please check the website for times, dates and prices for each program.
Now for this weeks GREEN CARD’s.
This week’s green card goes to Paige Duren, Lydia Whipple, Jenna Li and Taylor Bishop for taking part and winning the Soccer Zone 3v3 U10 Girls Division last Friday. The girls played some great soccer to work off that Thanksgiving Turkey and finished as undefeated champions. Green card also to Mr Duren for great coaching and Mrs Duren for her superb role as team manager and competition organiser!
I would also like to give green cards to Megan Colligan, Lindsay Crim, Rachel Slater, Megan Jezak, Emily Basewell, Maddie Wilsey, Josh Rosendale, Robert Manning, Ben Holland, Ben Schon, Martin Lang, Luke Menne and Ben Abood for playing an extra game this weekend to help out teams who were short of players because of the thanksgiving holiday! It is great to see these players and families willing to help out another team and have fun playing with other players. Thank you!
It seems that schedules for indoor games are changing constantly so please be sure to check your teams at www.lansingindoorsportsarena.com. The U10 girls can find their schedule at www.soccer-zone.com. I will send out a list of this weekends games towards the middle of the week to remind you.

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!
