Lynchburg College Showcase Tournment
January 9-10/2010 at Lynchburg College. Cost is 75.00 per player or 55.00 a player if ten of you go as a team. Must register by 12/1/09 to get this price. I strongly suggest that the juniors and seniors do this tournament. This is a showcase tournament where many college coaches will be present to evaluate players.

Passing and Receiving
A good player knows what he wants to do with the ball before he receives it and what he will do if his plan is no longer an option once he receives it. Watch David Beckham play. He knows where he wants to receive the ball and where he wants to pass it before he ever touches the ball. HE THINKS AHEAD, STAYS COOL AND UNDER CONTROL AND ANTICIPATES!!!!!

How Do We Become A Better Team????
You all have heard me say this many times-now the message is coming from other coaches too. If you were at Blast tryouts this past Saturday you heard Cary Wright say this. The Nelson Co coach said this tonight-if you want to become better players and a better team, you have to play soccer year round. This is not a game that you just pick up and play. You get better by repetition of the skills and being in game situations where you have to make decisions. Va High School League rules state that I cannot be involved in out of season practice. This does not mean that you cant. You all need to get together during the off season and play. You need to play organized soccer somewhere this fall-be it Blast or rec. I firmly believe this is how you as a team will get out of the bottom and start winning the matches you should be winning. I as the coach cannot make you better in the short time we have together as a team-I can polish you some and give you some new ideas-each player has to make the commitment to become better by playing this wonderful game all the time. Why is GWHS so good??? They get together all year and play. Why is Nelson Co so good? They get together and play all year long. This is not only a commitment from the players but from the parents too because you are going to have to be responsible for transportation of your player to where ever the kids decide to get together and play. One last observation-if you believe none of this then go to Dan Daniels park after work or on the weekends. See who is playing. I bet you will see familiar faces. There are folks of all ages playing soccer and they will let you play too. Ask Kevin.

A New Individual Goal
How would you like the have your jersey number retired when you graduate???
Here is how you do it. I will retire your number if you are voted Dogwood Player of the Year by the coaches of the district, make the Virginia All State 1st Team or become a High School All American-any team. Pretty tough goal, but I believe hard work can make dreams become reality.

Adidas Wind Suits
Adidas Wind Suits have been ordered for each player on the boys team. They are not yours to keep and will have to be turned in at the end of the season. These suits have been ordered for you by Jeff and Robyn Keller in honor of Jeff's mother, Shirley Keller, who passed away recently. This is a very nice thing the Kellers have done for this team. I know I don't have to say this, but thank them when you see them. I give my personal thanks as the coach of this team. It is a very kind and loving gesture and show of support for this team and
I appreciate it..
