Emerald City FC M97: Welcome

Welcome ECFC M97 Members...Coaches, Fans, Families, and PLAYERS!!!

Emerald City FC exists to develop each of our players to their fullest potential, competing at the highest possible level while demonstrating exemplary teamwork, sportsmanship, and a passion for the game.

Dear ECFC Member Families,

As Vice President of Membership, I cordially invite you to participate in the upcoming Parent Meetings.  Parent Meetings offer you a one-a-year opportunity to meet face to face with members of the Board and Coaching Administrative staff to share your viewpoint on your (and your player’s) team level ECFC experience.  The meetings give Club leadership a chance to hear directly from you, our members, and provide you with a level of input that is simply not available in the various online surveys that we conduct from time to time.  It is a valuable exercise that not all clubs offer their members.
 
Your team’s meeting has been scheduled for Monday, November 23 at the Sandpoint Educational Center,  in Room 102 at 6:15 p.m.  Please mark this date on your calendar and plan to attend your team’s meeting. 

M97 Players,

Per Jon's request, I have added a Fall 2009 Training schedule to the eTeamz web site. I have posted the sessions under a new tab called "Fall 2009 Training".

The fall sessions will begin on Monday, November 30th. These sessions will be a chance for players to keep in shape once the fall league play has ended.

The locations for the sessions are still to be announced (TBA) but the format will break down as follows:

Mondays, 5-6:30pm, Kick Around

Tuesdays, 5-6:30pm, Core Fitness Training

Wednesdays, 5-6:30pm, Kick Around
