There are now team pages developed for the Metro United teams. Parents can use these pages to get information or updates. There has also been a Twitter account set up for the U12 team (metrounitedu12) which you can follow for updates as well as game time updates if you can’t be there. If there is a U14 parent who is interested in maintaining a Twitter account for the U14 team let me know. I will update the U14 page on this website, but again if there is a U14 parent who is interested in maintaining this page, I can get you in touch with Jerry Baker, who will be able to help you get started. I hope that you find the information in this website useful.
I am starting to move the team farther along towards our goal to become an A level club. I have begun to talk about and demonstrate proper body mechanics and executing proper technique in our shooting and passing. I am committed to covering this until it becomes a habit. I am looking for the players to commit to be the best player they can possibly be. I am happy with the progress of the team and feel we need to continue to challenge and motivate them to gain skill and confidence.
I recently attended the Neosho-Seneca football game. I was disappointed with the Neosho fans because when the Cats’ were struggling they were blaming the refs and when a Neosho defender pushed an Indian receiver 10 yards out of bounds into a chain link fence, only one gentleman behind me criricized the unsportsmanship of our defender. It is my opinion that if we blame the ref or say the other team cheated we excuse our players from working harder when they struggle. If we appreciate the other teams good play it shows our team their is a higher level of play we are trying to attain, and gives them something to work toward. I want to be a class organization that wins with skill and not loses because we have an excuse to.
No practice tonight. Our next practice will be Thursday at 6:oo at the YMCA.
The league in Joplin begins on Saturday September 12th. If you are interested in playing contact me immediately. My number is 417-592-3589. I must have 10 committed by Thursday August 20th or we won’t sign up.
