Soccer Parent and Players,

The Caledonia Boys Soccer program has always been committed to achieving excellence. As the program has been preparing for the 2009 CHS 6v6 Summer Soccerfest it has become apparent we wouldn’t achieve excellence, so we are cancelling the event for this year.

You’re probably asking why, what’s changed, etc. So let me provide some insight:

1. Current economic conditions have required a couple of teams opt out this year;
2. A couple of teams have decided to take a different direction with regards to off-season training;
3. Each year we evaluate the return on our investment, such as;

• Securing the highest level of competition for all teams and more specifically the CHS program;
• Amount of dollar raised for the CHS program
• Feedback from CHS Coaches, Players and Parents

After considering all the above, Coach Lincoln thought it would be a great opportunity for the CHS program to consider other alternatives.

One alternative being considered is to secure a “top-notch” trainer that would work with the boys in the CHS program. The training would focus on technique and tactics through individual drills and small-side activities. Find below the details:

JV/Freshman Training:

• Day/Dates: Wednesdays; June 10th, 17th, 24th and July 8th
• Time: 5:00pm to 6:30pm
• Location: Behind Caledonia High School – Soccer Practice Field
• “Estimated” Cost per Player: $20-$30

Varsity Training:

• Day/Dates: Wednesdays; June 10th, 17th, 24th and July 8th
• Time:6:30pm to 8:00pm
• Location: Behind Caledonia High School – Soccer Practice Field
• “Estimated” Cost per Player: $20-$30

Here are a couple of other things to consider;

• depending on participation the cost may change;
• and if you can’t make a session the price is still the same

So we need each of you to let us know if you are interested in this alternative training by Tuesday, June 2, 2009.

I’ll send a note out once letting you know of the decision after getting everyone’s response.

Thanks,

Tom Bestrom – 6v6 Event Coordinator
