Miamisburg Vikings

Dear Soccer Players (and families):

I want to thank everyone who was involved with this season. The results that we have achieved are something to be proud of.....Varsity 12-5-2 and Reserves 11- 4 - 1. We played three very good tournament games and represented the program well.

Each of the coaching staff have heard from fans, alumni and peers in the area that are so proud of the way you played and the attitude that was displayed on the pitch. Good job, gentlemen!!!

Parents, boosters and school support, I am so pleased to have you on my side. Many programs envy the support that is provided to our program and I thank you for all that you have done this year. Excellent work!!!

Lastly, a BIG thank you to our own families that allow us the opportunity to work with you guys. The time it takes for us to help our program reach our goals is monumental and we could not do it without the support of our families. Thanks gang!!!

I hope that everyone had a fun time at the AWARDS BANQUET.  Thank you to Joann Wright and her committee that did another fantastic job for all of us.

Please enjoy the next couple months, the holidays and the time away.  We will get together right after the first of the year to prepare for 2009.  The coaching staff will have 1-on-1's with each player and parents to discuss improvement and strength areas.  Stay focused on the grades and make wise choices for yourself. 

FOR SOCCER,
