Hi soccer stars. I was lucky enough to assistant coach many of you last year, and am looking forward to seeing you again! Additionally, I really look forward to meeting the new 7th graders! We should have a great team.
A big reminder that physicals are due prior to practice, so if you are not up to date I will not be allowed to have you participate until I get the green light from Nurse Bachman.
Please keep an eye on this site. I will keep the calendar updated daily, and practice details will be included. I also plan to have news and pics and team roster info on here as well!
Regarding the upcoming season: Be prepared to work on basic skills, teamwork, conditioning, and having fun participating in the greatest team sport in the world. We will focus much more on strategy, positions, and ball skills using the entire field this year, so paying attention and truly focusing in practice will make it a much better experience for all. For my special goof balls, I have purchased a nifty little "reward prize" this year which I am sure will take the wind out of the most persistent soccer clown on the field ; > Go ahead, make my day.
Seriously, I hope to have a team with great depth, and greatly improved skills this year, with everyone getting time on the field during games. I also hope to have a decent amount of matches...which are still being booked at this moment.
Some great late-breaking news!!! Josh Milton from the Glens Falls Recreation Department has been working with me to secure the Murray Street field as our very own SMSA soccer home. We will be mowing, lining, and we even have Dr. Robert Hogan generously taking the time to build us brand new regulation soccer goals! Please make sure to give him a big thank you and a pat on the back when you see him!! By the end of the 1st practice week in Crandall Park, we should be ready to move over to our new field.
That's it for now. Let's Go Kerries!
Coach Ford
