The nice feature about this site is that it has both movie clips and diagrams of various soccer drills. It is not common to find actual clips of the drills so you can see how they should be performed.

News for the week of January 17,2010
Program notes for the week of 1/17:
We are back after the Christmas break and here's hoping everyone had a wonderful holiday season! Now to the business of Shoregal soccer...
More Postseason awards
One last award to report upon from the past season as Jillian Strimbu was named to the All-Sun newspapers soccer team - Congrats to Jillian!!
Indoor soccer
We had a terrific response for our indoor soccer program this year as 50 girls signed up to play second session at the Sportsplex including 19 incoming eighth graders. The games have already started and the Shoregals are playing very well together.
Remember to watch your schedules closely as there will be games on Martin Luther King Day on 1/17.
Soccer Video:
For any one who may be interested and through the generous sportmanship of North Olmsted parents, we have copies the SWC title clinching game vs. N.O. Down 3-1, the Shoregals stormed back with 3 goals by Emily O'Connor in the final 20 minutes to pull out a heartpounding 4-3 victory and clinch the first confernece championship in the 18 year history of the girls soccer program. Please contact me as I have additional copies available.
Soccer Site of the Week:
This is a new feature where we will present a website each week with information about training, nutrition, skills, drills, and anything else pertaining to soccer. This week's spotlighted site is:
http://www.finesoccer.com/
This site is loaded with books and DVD's related to soccer training. But probably the best part of the site are the free newsletters. They have 7 different newsletters to pick from covering every aspect of soccer including goaltending. You can sign up online and they will be delivered to your e-mail address each week and again - it's all free!!
M.L. King Day:
This is traditionally an off day from school and for some people an off day from work and it is also a day where most of us are involved in indoor soccer. For those who may want to take a few minutes aside to honor Dr. King's life you can view his most famous "I Have a Dream" speech at http://www.youtube.com/ - it is only about 17 minutes long or you can view a complete transcript at www.usconstitution.net/dream. You can google on various other specches and biographical data also.
