PHD TRAINING RECAP – Joe Birklid

·  Better year for training. Lots of positive feedback, liked the additional practice

·  Trainers were all about less “fun” and more focus – saw a huge benefit

·  Families, kids are understanding the “repeat”, August is perfect time.

·  Attendance is improving, still could be better – next year phone calls, PHD emails, attend coaches meetings

·  Need to invest in some new equipment – cones, pennies, hurdles, etc.

·  Increase Awareness – a MUST! Maybe have player, coach give-aways

GU12 / Highline Soccer Club issue

Bad game at Highline. HSC Superstars very verbal and abusive team. Coach Ulrich was contacted by HSC President and asked to lodge a complaint. This team has bad history. Dan Adams is contacting WSYSA for guidance. HSC Parents were using foul language directed at Tamales players, instructing HSC players to hurt Tamale players. Referee was oblivious to parents and behavior of players. Allowed delay of game start for additional players to arrive. Tamale parents left field as a group to avoid continued confrontation with HSC parents, players. Tamales have a video of most of game.
