I would like to start by thanking Cid for the praises thrown my way.... Things are definitely looking up for Northwestern girls soccer. The number of girls at conditioning is the highest I have had in 4 years with the program. Not many club players but still good young athletes that have the potential to develop into players.

In my opinion it is the responsibility of the coach to develop what they are given in the 4 month season. Some of us are not as fortunate to have a group of girls playing club ball year round. I have chosen to focus on coaching my son during the club season instead of high school girls.

Northwestern will have a roster of 22 players, about half have only played Futbol a year or less. But as stated earlier, they are athletes that can be worked with to field a very competitive squad.
