I wanted to drop everyone a note first congratulating everyone on a wonderful season and second to express my gratitude to your kids and the way you as parents conducted yourselves this year.  I think everyone can agree that all the girls have improved greatly since the begining of the season.  When we first took them, they were very individual in everything they did and that is how most teams are in the state, but now they are playing as a team. Aside from Alpharetta and AFU, I think we are the next best team out there.  That is exciting because both of those teams are bigger and stronger than us, NOT BETTER.  Like I told all of you at the beginning of the year, we are going to teach your girls how to play good soccer and not worry about anything else.  I can tell you I have never seen any group of players pick up on a concept as fast as your girls have,  I am very proud of them.

On to you guys.  As I have been coaching for a long time, I am sure you can imagine I have had team parents that have been great, and then some ummmmm not so great.  You guys have been GREAT!  I feel that every issue or concern that came up this year was handled in a positive manner and we came out better at the end.  That is the way it should be.  I hope you all know that I am willing to speak to any of you about anything.  The way I look at it is we are going to be together for a while, so we better like each other.  Wrapping up I want you to know I take your girls very serious and plan on developing them in to Animals on the soccer field.  It has truly been a pleasure.  Happy Holidays.

Grant.
