President's Corner |
Dear Emerald City Membership:
Welcome to 2010, and the start of state cup play for our older boys, PDL/WYS season for our older girls, and PDL Winter season for our younger girls and boys (followed by state cup play). In other words, there is a lot going on in a lot of different venues! And for those younger siblings and friends of our families, we are very pleased to recommend a player clinic run by one of our talented coaches! David Smith (F96 Green and M93 White) will be offering a six week clinic beginning February 21stand targeted for 8, 9 and 10 year olds. Please check it out – there is an announcement on our website (www.emeraldcityfc.org) that provides information and a link to registration.
But so much for the fun stuff –
