Hi all players, with the World start today, you have a good chance to watch and learn from games technically tactically and phycically what the game is all about .
Make sure you can record as much games as possible because I am going to ask you some questions during the World Cup, who will answer correctly will win a prize

Hi to all players from Olympic Park and Narrabeen.

It is nearly end of the championship season but it is time to force yourself to improve more. As you know as in Europe we can keep it going with session trainings and we can organise friendly game and may be some tournament if we get the chance.

I was really pleased to see 7 of our coaches staff to take part at the italian seminar held in Narrabeen from Renzo Ulieri, Maurizio Viscidi, Francesco Perondi and Raffaele Pilato.

Therefore I am really looking forward to see how much improving you can get in another 5 months.

The secret is: "Never stop to have soccer training"

Hi all players from Narrabeen,

Today I started to see better soccer. Finally during the game I saw players running and trying to do their best. That’s the way it should be at all training sessions, so make sure you can spend the energy at the right time!

In addition I have observed that players were more careful with the equipment at the end of the session which is a good sign as well.

Let’s see we can continue to do better next time!

Hi all,

An important reminder to all players who won’t be attending the game: you must inform the manager/Coach by Friday 9.00pm at the latest.

Hi Players and Parents,

From now on I would like to see:

• Parents – a reminder – please do not come on the field during the training sessions !
• Players – do not be late for your session. If you arrive early, go to play soccer tennis in the right space. Shooting and running around is unacceptable as it disturbs players from the previous group.
• Every player must help to collect all the equipment on the field at the end of the session. Remember to please take care of the equipment, we have already lost many things!

Hi Guys,

I was coaching the 99 and 2000m team last Saturday and to be honest I did not expect this team to have played as well as it did - especially after only 2 months training with the Academy . We were short one player and as a result we had to change our system of play. Everybody pushed themselves hard and started to understand how much effort they have to put into the game if you do not want to lose. After the game I had to congratulate all the players because they followed my tips and suggestions. The final score was 2-2 with Michael Van Walsum scoring twice and all the team playing a good game.

It’s really important that players inform me as soon as possible if they are unable to attend a ANY match so that I can make the necessary changes to the formation. I also noticed that some players didn’t have everything they needed for the match – please don’t forget to take responsibility to prepare properly before every game and to arrive well prepared.

Ciao, Andrea
