To Build the Best Club in the Country. A club that posi7vely impacts the development of our players on and off the field and posi7vely impacts our community. ~ SLSG Club Mission I hope this document finds all of you having enjoyed your soccer experience this past season with SLSG. As a club, we feel very good about the progress this age group made over the year and we look forward to working with all of you to see conbnued progress in your daughters. I want to personally thank all of you for your commitment to SLSG. The Board and the enbre SLSG Staff believe in our direcbon as an organizabon and realize that we will never be able to provide a posibve experience without our members. We are quickly approaching the beginning of our seventh year as a Club, and we intend to conbnue working hard to give you the best experience possible. We want each and every player to feel a part of our mission, enjoy playing the game while making life - long memories, and learn values that will be useful to them for many years to come. I hope that the changes you ve seen in our FaciliBes, Staff, CommunicaBon, and Training Curriculum reflect a commitment to providing a unique educabon to the player. An educabon that insblls values, discipline, enjoyment, and skill. Teaching the values we believe in through the challenges that the game provides is a passion the Staff shares and we will conbnue to refine on a daily basis. The purpose of this note is to keep transparent; the club philosophy regarding the player Placement Process, the process by which age groups are formed, and who will lead each team from a coaching perspecbve. Working through the transibon from one year to another is always difficult, this year is no excepbon. The MO Girls Staff has worked extremely hard to find the right fit for each child and we feel that the players are in posibon to experience a posibve year in 2014/15. I can t emphasize enough how much we all appreciate your support of the SLSG community. And I speak for the enbre Staff when I say we look forward to conbnuing to work with your family in upcoming season. Sincerely, ScoY McDoniel
SLSG MO GIRLS The Placement Process It is at this Bme each year that SLSG MO Girls officially finishes its Placement Process, coined ID2014. The Placement Process, by definibon, is the process by which the club realigns teams within and places players from outside the club, each year. This process usually becomes very in- depth at the U10 going to U11 age group when the Club introduces the Elite, Premier, & Classic Layers, but every age presents new challenges each year. The Club uses the philosophy of like players playing with like players, regardless of age to determine where a player should be placed. Since the dynamics of each age group differ, the steps by which the club will align teams varies. And, as always, the movement of players will be a cooperabve effort between Staff, Individual Team Coaches, Club Trainers, & Parents. Division Leaders have observed games within their respecbve age groups to idenbfy players that may not be playing in the right team for their ability. To truly make this a cooperabve effort the Staff will rely heavily upon the recommendabons of Individual Team Coaches who feel they have a player/s who have been performing at a different level than the core of their teammates. This Prior year to the announcing process for the age 97/98 group age group teams, went coaches, fairly smooth. and compebton Unfortunately we did loose a group, but we did manage to make all the teams with please in the age allow group me stronger to remind from all top members to boyom. of the Club that each year around this Placement Process, coined ID2013.
