Practice will be cancelled on March 21 and MArch 28. The field we use has been book by another organization. We will try to make up the missed practices at the end of the season if the weather allows us to.
Also I would like to invite everyone to join us for the Terry Fox run on March 14 after practice. Registration begins at noon and the run starts at 2pm. There will be food and games for all who wish to join in the fun. You can walk, run, ride, rollerblade your way around either a 2km loop or 5km loop. Hope to see most of you out there suopporting a good cause.

To All Coaches
This is a request once again to all coaches. If you are unable to attend one week let me know and find someone to cover for you. If there are others with you this does not mean you are covered. You need to coordinate the efforts with them. It has now occurred 3 weeks in a row where coaches are not attending and an entire group has no coach. This club runs on the volunteer parents and cannot continue without parent support.
If this continues I will be forced to shut down age groups due to a lack of parent support. I have several coaches who have shown exceptional dedication and are there every week or have found someone to cover; to all of you I extend my thanks.

Happy New Year
Happy new year and welcome back. I hope the holiday season say everyone through safely. We will be starting back on Friday January 11 at 8 am. I look forward to seeing everyone back again for some fun football training.
Uniforms will be ready for pickup next week at training. I appologize they were supposed to be ready this week, however there were problems over the holidays. If you signed up for a size there will be a pack with your name on it. If you did not sign up then you will have to choose from what is left.

Housekeeping issues
First I would like to thank everyone for their support of the cub so far this season. It has been a rough start, but with your help it has been good. Second I would like to say to the coaches your help is greatly appreciated and we could not do this without you.
Now for the other side of things. A few reminders to parents. There must be someone on the field responsible for your child at all times. If your child gets hurt we cannot stand around and wait for you to come and take them to the hospital. You do not have to be there every week but someone on the field has to be responsible for your child at all times while practice is going on. We do not foresee any injuries but like any sport they do occur from time to time.
Third, if you are helping out by coaching there will be a quick meeting after practice this week. If you could stick around for a few extra minutes that would be appreciated. Also if you are coaching and you know you are going to be away, please ask someone to cover for you. It happened last week were we had to ask a parent on the sidelines to jump in because both the coaches for one of the age groups were away and had not let anyone else know. This can cause problems for the players and they should not be punished because the coach is not there.
Finally, I will be bringing the uniforms for sizing this week so if you could take a minute and come see what size your son or daughter needs I will have a sample of each. They are the same as last year, if you want another that is good if you do not want an extra outfit that is your choice. I will place the order once I have all the sizes and know how many to order.
If there are any other issues let me know and I will look into addressing them as soon as possible.
Thanks for your time,
Bryan Holmstrom

Practice this Friday
I am away this week, but my wife Amanda Holmstrom will be around to help. If you have any questions please direct them to her. I look forward to seeing everyone back at practice soon enough.
I am also looking for a few more parents to help coach not be a head coach but just to help out. The ares we really need more help is with the 8 and 9 year olds and especially with the oldest group of 11 to 13 year olds. If you can help out that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all you Moms and Dads who stepped up on Friday to take a group and work with them. If you want ideas check the links for coaching ideas with your age group.

Soccer times
Soccer begins this Friday morning starting at 8am on the lower field behind VCU on QF campus. We will run sessions for about 1 hour each week. Registration fees are 300QR per player and this gets them a team kit, their own football and the 21 training sessions. Please remember that players should have proper footwear and shin guards when playing. I look forward to seeing everyone there on Friday morning.
