Notes From Coach Kevin - 9 March

Parents, It’s been a great couple weeks of practice! The first week we focused on returning to soccer, with dribbling, passing, receiving, and shooting. This week we focused on footwork, passing and moving, and defending. For here on out we’ll be phasing in 2v1, 2v2, etc drills to better simulate game situations. As we head into our first game week, there are a few admin items to take care of: 

1.  I'd like to welcome our team sponsor, Pure Fabrication! It’s owned by Mr. Diotalevi (Kayden’s dad) and specializes in automotive/diesel repair and performance and numerous other things you can read about on their website. (https://www.purefabricationllc.com/) Thanks PF! 

2.  Our schedule is out! Check the calender tab, our first game is Saturday, March 18, at 9:45 AM. For the first game, I’d like everyone there 30 minutes early to get our jerseys, get organized, and get stretched out so try and make a 9:15 AM show time. I’ll have hard copy schedules for everyone at our next practice Thursday, March 16.  

3.  Uniforms are in…kind of. I have our shorts, socks, bags, and magnets. I’ll be handing those out at our next practice with the schedules. Our jerseys are currently at the screen printer getting our sponsor info put on them. We will be getting those on game day, hence the early show time for the first game. (Normal show time will be 20 minutes prior to game time). The jerseys bring me to the next item… 

4.  Since our jerseys are at the screen printer, we have an opportunity to get our kids’ names on the backs of the jerseys for the small fee of $5. This is not a league-mandated item but the league does state either everyone has a name on the jersey, or no one does. We did this last season and the kids loved it. If there are any issues, please let me know. I am double checking with the screen printer tomorrow to make sure we can get it done before the first game. Otherwise, it will require a collection and redistribution of the shirts. You can pick a first name, last name, nick name, etc for your child. I just need it as soon as possible. You can reply to this e-mail or send a text to 904-885-2513. If you text and want a nick name, please let me know your child’s first or last name so I know who belongs to that nick name. :-)   

5. (finally) We voted on a team name at practice today. We are now officially the White Lightning! (I tested out my graphic design ability here…hopefully it does us justice) 

As always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
-Coach Kevin
