Dear 97 Girls State Team Players and Alternates,

First of all, congratulations on being selected by the Coaching Staff to continue on with the Alabama ODP.  Secondly, I apologize that this communication is coming a day late.  For those players that have been invited as alternates, please pay careful attention and read over the explanation of what an Alternate is at the bottom of this communication.  If you have another email address that would like to be added to this contact list, please reply and let me know your player’s name and age group.

Please see below for the welcome letter from your coaches.  Continue to work hard and come prepared for the next training opportunity.  As of right now, the next event scheduled is a State Team training session in Montgomery on SUNDAY March 30 (this is different than what was originally scheduled).  Mississippi ODP was unable to bring their 97-99 teams to the AL Sub-Regional Event, so we will schedule another training session and attempt to bring in another team for a match.  The schedule is also below.  Registration is not yet open, but we will have it open by the beginning of March.  Once registration is open, please register in a timely manner.  For the rest of the ODP Season (which is through Region Camp this summer), please contact your coaches regarding absences, participation, and anything related to training/the game.  For all administrative items, you may contact myself, or our new ODP Administrator Martha Disko at martha@alsoccer.org (especially for registration issues/questions).

MONTEVALLO UNIVERSITY

First off I would like to thank you for participating in Alabama ODP.  I believe this program is a great experience for your daughter.  I am looking forward to continuing to develop this team and to bring a competitive team to Region Camp. If you have any other concerns or will not be able to attend any sessions, please contact me directly.

At our last session in Montgomery our topic was interchanging runs/ movement off of the ball.  With our low numbers we had to combine with the 98's, which I thought helped bring a competitive environment to our training.  I saw improvement in our players, and this will be something we continue to build on each practice.  My goal is that they take away something from our session, and spend time working on these topics with their club/ HS teams.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions and I am looking forward to seeing everyone late March.

All the best,
Mike
