Just posting because nothing has happened on the board for a while and this one has caught my interest for a few days.
First off, kudos to MPSC for their recent kind donation of $20,000 back to the town to help improve their facilities at Patriots Point. This is the sort of thing that separates good soccer clubs from great ones. We all know there is money in youth sports and soccer (who are we trying to kid in pretending otherwise). I find it very refreshing to see some of it channeled back into the community as an investment in our childrens future. Again well done.
Next, I would like to say that Lloyds has treated our new club and its members very fairly and while the services they provided us (like printing) were not actually free, they were at a very reasonable and fair price. And for the record they did donate some items free to our club as door prizes for our upcoming AGM. Thank you Rich, Marc, and guys.
Now as to uniform and training gear. I happen to be training our U12G squad a few hundred yards from a certain elite club in the lowcountry and have somewhat of a funny story.
Driving to our field I noticed the elite club training in perfect, matching uniforms and felt fairly cheap having supplied the typical T shirt to my girls, albeit with our fetching crest on front. (I personally think it is the coolest around).
Anyway matters got worse as a couple of the elite squad know some of my girls and of course stopped by after their training to say hello and join in. I could see my squad looking at the fetching colors but like typical 11 year olds said nothing.
I got caught up in this and was seriously thinking about changing our approcah for next season until the next session when three of my girls arrived and promptly told me that each had ruined their training T (dog ate one, one lost one, and one got messed up in the wash)
We'll be sticking with training T's.
