With the fall season behind us, the Kicker’s gear up for a
busy off season. We have
started working on many new things, one of which is a new look on our
website. For many years Hal Mayer single handedly designed and managed
the website. When no other soccer clubs offered a website, Hal made
sure that we had one and that we could report all the news. Tim Busch,
George Schleis and Hal Mayer have begun work on a new website that is
going to offer many new items in addition to the old items. Amongst
the new items will be field conditions, coach’s corners, individual
team sites, a “kickers list” to post classified items, Kicker-TV
to view action games, pictures and much more. We are excited about the
site and can’t thank these guys enough for their hard work.
Recently we held our annual Fall Cleanup. We had a great turn
out and completed the task list. I can’t thank everyone that helped
enough. You were all outstanding and completed the task list and even
additional items that were not on the list. Thanks to all – your
help and constant support will continue to make our organization
stronger and better with each passing season.
I had the great pleasure of seeing many of our youth teams play
this season. You cannot help but be impressed by the skilled players
the Kickers are turning out. It was nice to watch U8 players cross a
ball, or U9 players take corner kicks that had great placement. We
have players that are growing to be skilled, knowledgeable, soccer
players. These teams are exciting to watch. This is only an indicator
that our coaches are doing their jobs and that our youth camps are
doing what they are designed to do. I only expect to see more and more
teams in Premier 1 divisions. I look forward to reporting all the new
accomplishments from the Kicker’s in the Spring newsletter. I am
looking forward to seeing everyone at the banquets and hope that
everyone enjoys the holiday season!
