Never saw so much RED TAPE
I have just heard back from SAFEWAY yes at this time of night, it is 949PM here.
They apparently have to have this and that to do anything... WOW I never knew there was so much RED TAPE in the Grocer Business. Hmmm I wonder if the GOVt maybe need ot take tips from Safeway on how to use RED TAPE.
It really surpises me once again how a local business wants the community to shop in there stores however cannot see it to Support the local community.
This is something we all need to CELEBRATE and there should be no RED TAPE involved in it. This is a group of young men who came together and worked as a team to make History for their school and community.
We all should be showing them how proud we are of them.

When a Ref needs to be removed from a game
I am on both sides here, it is hard for me to say that a Ref is wrong, however when disrespect comes into play, I must speak up.
When it comes in to the point it is interfering with the flow of the game and also teaching the children playing the game that even though they follow the rules it really does not matter since this man in this Ref shirt says i was wrong or that my coach is wrong.
That is not correct or even in the training for the ref's at all.
We are going to refer to the game played at SJHS on 10/06/08, the ref made a call that was not a legal call and the coach asked him what did he call and when he said what he called the coach said that is not a foul that is legal and then left it alone, at that time the REF yells who are you? and the coach replied back I am an asst Coach and the Ref yells back YEAH RIGHT and so the other coach say to the ref that is not the way you talk to a coach and you do not have to be disrespectful and then the REF stops the game comes over and acts like a total A&& he moved the coaches down the field and when he was told he was being disrespectful he said he can do what he wants he runs this game...
When a Ref thinks like this it is time to move him off from being the center ref, if he came in with a problem with the team or any of the coaches he either needs to call the ref scheduler or leave his problems at the gate.
District 6 needs to make sure they are sending Ref's out that can call a fair game. and that is all that matters is that the game is called fairly.
Most of the Ref's are Wonderful and really good with the boys and the coaches, however we do have the select few that try to ruin the game for everyone.
If I can report the games and the plays fairly and take pictures of all teams, then i am sure the Ref's can also do the same thing after all they are PAID to be here, I am Not PAID in anyway for my TIME I DEVOTE to the soccer teams.

Sunrise United Takes 1st Place inYuba City
Well I can say great job to all of the teams that played in this tournament this past weekend.
However, Congratulations to all of the boys on Sunrise United for taking 1st place in the U-19 Division, it was not an easy victory, the last two teams were there to win and they were also very aggressive to the point that it should not have been allowed, however soon the Center Ref got control of the game back once again.
I am so proud of ALL of the BOYS that came to play as a team and not be a one man team, Sunrise United Came together as a whole team and we are all very proud of them.

Goal Setting: A crucial skill in a keeper’s development
Goal Setting: A crucial skill in a keeper’s development.
There is a point in each keeper’s development that they realize that being a keeper isn’t just fun and games. They realize there performance and development directly impact the team and in many cases the win or loss column. I think I realized this around 14 years old, which was my freshman year of high school. Like the majority of keepers I didn’t have a goalkeeper coach or a head coach that new much about my specialized position. I realized that in order for me to increase my technique and game awareness I needed to start developing my own training regiment to the best of my abilities. Without knowing the psychology of it all I started developing practice goals for the day and short term goals to attain before my next match. I shared these with my back up and the JV keepers.
Learning to set goals will give a keeper the ability to develop a clear course of action on where they want to go (performance level) and how to get there. The first stage of this is to set “Performance” based goals rather than “Outcome” goals. Outcome goals are not entirely under our control. An example of this could be number of saves. Performance goals are something keepers can control. Such as “ I am going to attack floated crosses played in the air above my head at my highest point”. There is nothing wrong with a keeper stating a goal such as “ I want to make All Conference or All State”. Ambition is great. More importantly is the “how” will that goal be attained.
Make the performance goals realistic; goals that challenge you but are attainable. If a goal is too easy there will be nothing learned or gained by the exercise. An unrealistic goal may also be a detriment since the satisfaction of an accomplishment may never be felt or measured. Set goals in measurable and behavioral terms. “This training session I want to ……” or “This game I will organize and communicate effectively with my central defenders.”
Detail the performance based goals in short and long terms. Short term range goals provide the opportunity to see immediate improvement. Short term goals help to motivate and are steps toward your longer range goal. Longer range goals could be season goals our yearly goals. An example of a Long term yearly goal could be “ Before I return to camp next year I would like to become better at timing and patience when coming out on breakaways”
It is important to write your goals down on a paper. Seeing them in writing helps keep a clear focus. In my mind, it also makes them real if they are on paper. Weightlifters keep a journal that documents their daily workouts to track their progress. Keepers can modify this technique and write down each practice goal as it progresses or builds to a short term goal for a specified date. This allows them to track their progress, reflect on where they started, how far they have come, and also helps detail training exercises that worked well to achieve the desired result. This technique helps make their commitment to achieving the goal stronger and also creates a sense of accomplishment at competition. Once these goals have been identified it is not only important to document them but to also identify target dates. “By When”. Again be challenging but reasonable when selecting a date. Don’t expect to be proficient with breakaways within a week.
Goals should be set for practice and for competition. Practice goals as mentioned are often critical to achieving game goals. The daily practice goals should be positive statements. “Today I am going help improve my catching and absorbing of harder shots at the body to limit my number of rebounds”
The next step in goal setting is to identify a keeper’s support and feedback network. Keepers are under constant scrutiny from fans, teammates, coaches, and the opposition. Keepers should identify a support network that can help achieve their goals. Identify who amongst the network can provide constructive feedback. Obtaining feedback from others helps keepers attain a sense of accomplishment and helps keep the focus clear. Often we are our own worst critics, which is why keepers rely on others also for positive feedback. In the right mindset and at the right time self-assessment is vital to a keeper’s individual development. It too can keep the mind focused and driven.
The time for self-assessment is after practice and especially after games. Teammates feed off of a keeper's emotion as do the other team. Other than excitement a keeper should not show much emotion. If a soft goal is conceded it must be filed away in a keeper’s head for after the game. The best way to deal with the situation and the resulting emotions is to correct the mistake in their head quickly, file it away, and then begin focusing their energy on the next play. That goal is gone. To help prevent another mistake it is important to stay in the present. No need to think about the past goal or anticipate the future. After the game the keeper can sit with their support network, coaches, and reflect on the mistakes to identify development opportunities and goals before the next game.
Example Of Goal Setting
Long Term Goal: Dominate the box on crosses
By October 15th
Short Range Goal: “ I am going to attack floated crosses played in the air above my head at my highest point”
By: September 30th.
Day 1, Sept 23rd: Work on driving the appropriate knee up and landing on two feet. Attack the ball above my head at my highest point. Hand Services from shorter distance
Day 2, Sept 24th: Continue with using the appropriate knee and attacking the ball at my highest point. Introduce pressure and harder services.
This will build by day until the Sept 30th. Long term and short term goals should stay constant within a date range but the daily goals should be written down and crossed off when completed or accomplished.
Each time a keeper steps on the pitch it is a learning experience whether it be a practice or game. Goal Setting will help prepare a keeper for match play and guide their technical as tactical development. Each keeper learns and progresses differently. The introduction of goal setting techniques will help young keepers focus their energy on one technical element rather than trying to be Tim Howard after one session. The result will be a sense of accomplishment and noticeable growth. At times we are our own worst critics. As coaches, we are also responsible for providing positive feedback and managing expectations.
Each summer I make this a lecture topic for advanced keepers at Star Goalkeeper Academy. Dan Gaspar, the founder of Star Goalkeeper Academy, details many of these points in his instructional manual “The Ball Stops Here”

California Cup At Cherry Island Soccer Complex
Well it was good to see Soccer Mentioned on the local news(news10) however it makes me wonder if the anchors children were not playing in the tourney would it have been mentioned?
I am happy it was, our children deserve to be mentioned ,.they Play soccer and it is HOT on the fields.
7 states and Australia teams are here this weekend and next weekend..
Parking is 5.00 per day to enter the complex. you will love the Complex.
The Ref's are AWESOME and FAIR, please remember what you see on the side lines is not what they see being in the center and in the middle of the play, be respectful and please NO FOUL LANGUAGE. Not everyone is going to agree with the calls of the play and you do not have to, however you have to remember your not the player on the field and your actions do affect their playing time and the way they play.
Bystanders and Parent's We love seeing you here to cheer the teams on! But we need you to understand it is the teams game and that means let them play. Don't yell at the players(even if it is your child) unless you are yelling positive things to them, remember it is their game once again let them play it with good sportsmanship.
The way we act and react off the field is brought on to the field through our children and if you show frustration and anger towards your child on that field, they will in return take it out on the other team and possibly hurt one seriously, we do not need that,
already today on field 7 we have a team with a player with a broken leg...
Let's all ENJOY the weekend and enjoy the GAME!
Hope to see you all out there!

Ok folks remember how I wrote to these two local indoor soccer teams and asked them to write a letter or make some kind of contact with the boys soccer team for making history?
