Comments
As the Phantom Runners close their doors and the sunrises on new opportunities for the kids it’s
the love of the game that you eventual give them as coaches – 73% of our kids are continuing their soccer careers. More
knowledgeable and performing at higher levels. That is how you measure the success of any youth traveling team.
Our Coaching Team Philosophy
“Coaches determine positions and when substitutions
are made to best help the team win games. However, we believe that every member of our team is valuable. That children learn
by participating. Yes, we want to win but having fun and learning are just as important.
Every member of our team plays a significant amount of time and will have a chance to contribute.”
I think the results speak for themselves
Parents:
A Special thanks to all of you for your support, understanding, commitment, and time. All of the
kids have benefited greatly through your love and concern. The Coaches hope you had as much fun as we did and we are all looking
forward to seeing the kids continue to develop in what ever sport they choose to participate in.
Thank you all
Sincerely
Erica Chrustic
