End of Season notes

Parents and Players,

I just thought you might want to know how LFC did as a club so I am passing this e-mail along to you. The excerpt below is from an e-mail sent by Jim Diehl, Club President:

LFC's eight (8) teams are all awesome. Thanks to all for taking the time to spend time with the players and guide them with your patience and knowledge.

A re-cap of some of the statistics to inform the public about:
3 State Champions

2 State Finalists

2 State Semi-Finalists

We all need to congratulate Karen Smith and her team for a well earned State Championship!

The club continues to grow and outside teams are expressing an interest. There are several U11 teams being formed so if you know of anyone who wants to attend tryouts, they are scheduled in the next couple of days and all the information can be found on the Club website, www.lafayettefutbolclub.com.

The club has a small group working on locating and securing fields for the fall. Once we have something concrete, I will pass it along to all of you. Our goal is to have a location that can be more central and provide lighted fields for the fall.

Look for a few e-mails coming out in the next few days regarding tryout dates, commitment letters for next year and our summer camp plans. Below are the sanctioned dates that we can hold tryouts and more info will be sent to you soon:

U14-U19 Boys & Girls

Tryout Period: June 1 – June 18
Dead Period: June 19 – June 29
Premier Invitation Date: June 25
Division 1 Invitation Date: June 30

In closing, let me say that I am extremely proud of our players for their efforts and success. I have taken a few days to think about what we have accomplished as a team and one thing, among many, that stands out is the girls finally are beginning to understand that a team is made up of many parts and every player has a role but no one alone can carry the entire team. It takes every player working as a cohesive unit and understanding their role and the roles of the others to win. As we continue teaching, identifying learning experiences (like our last game) and using those experiences as a platform for more development, Galaxy will become an example of what a team is and an example of how a team operates on and off the field.

Thanks for everything,

Rich
