=Celtics,= We are going to try to use this to organize our year end party and winter opportunities. When you sign in, click on the "edit" button in the right hand corner. When you do this a tool bar will appear across the top of the page. This opens the page for typing. Then you just click on the page and your "blinking" cursor will appear, just like a word processing program. **//Make sure when you are finished typing that you click the save button on the toolbar.//** Add your responses below for both the team party and winter opportunities. We are trying this because it will eliminate hundreds of "emails" bouncing around in the next week or so.

=Team Party:= Here are 5 potential dates for a team Pizza Party to celebrate a fantastic season. Choose 2-3 that work, but rank them (1,2,3). Use the Keefers as an example for how to sign-up. The party will be from 6:30 to 8:30ish. We will go with the best option to get the most families together.

Friday 10/23: Keefers (1) Chuha (1) Fry(1); Bolds (1), Carroll (2),France (1), de Vente (1) Saturday 10/24: Fox (1) Keefers (2); Bolds (2), de Vente (2) Sunday 10/25:Ellerbrock (1)Whitty(3) Chuha (2) Fry(2) Qamar (2 - sorry the other days are booked for us) Friday 10/30: Ellerbrock (2) Whitty(2) Chuha (3); Bolds (3), Carroll (1), France(2) Fox(2) Sunday 11/1:Ellerbrock (3) Whitty(1) Fry(3), Carroll (3) Qamar (1), France (3) Keefer (3), deVente (3)


 * From Bolds: Can we get the girls Trophies? In the past, I can get nice trophies from Capital Awards with the girls name, team name, year and would recommend we get a line that says, "Undefeated Season" on the third line. I can get them for $6 per trophy. Any thoughts?

From Carrolls - Trophies sound like a great idea!**

Foxes: Trophies sound good.

=Winter Soccer Opportunities=

Locker Soccer in Powell. For a link directly to the site, click on the blue Locker Soccer.
One option is that you could immediately consider is that Steve Locker has set up a Sunday Night Advanced Player Development Program that starts October 25 and runs 8 weeks. It begins at 5:00 and goes for 45 min. For our team he is waiving the registration fee. The cost is $120. It is a good program, either Steve or one of his top coaches will run this program. Ellie will probably not be doing this during the October through December session. If you are interested in this, contact Locker Soccer at 760-5522 and ask for Tracy. Make sure you tell her you are with the Dublin United Celtics.

Steve thinks they will run the same program starting back up in January and running through March. Ellie will definitely do this session.

=Super Kicks in Powell.=

**For a link directly to the site, click on the blue Super Kicks.**
Super Kicks has a 4 v 4 program that doesn't give much time for practice, but the girls will have a great time and will have a lot more touches on the ball than the 8 v 8 played a Soccer First. I am unsure of their January through March schedule, but if you go to the website and click on the "Youth Leagues" notice on the right side of the page, you can see that Fridays or Saturdays starting on 10/31 would be when our girls play. A team costs $400.00. You would probably want at least 6 girls on a team so you could have a couple of subs. Ellie would not be playing in the October to December session, but she would probably join a group in January if this is the way we want to go. Girls I know who have done this in the past have loved it.

= = =**Soccer First at Sports Ohio.**= In the past we have known plenty of girls who have played in the indoor league at Soccer First. Like we talked about after the tournament, if you daughter is really interested in this option we will help you find another Dublin United team to join.

**From Carrolls: It would be great to figure out whether Locker Soccer or Superkick would be better. I know that Futsal (small sided, small field games) were a tremendous training for Bree last year!**


 * from Qamars: Sana did futsal at locker soccer for several years and loved the smaller three on three intensity. it really helps improve their footwork!**

de Vente: Clare is probably out for winter opportunites with heavy basketball schedule but still interested in what the group decides. Maybe i can get her out there.

from Foxes: Would the Locker Soccer (Jan-Mar) be Sunday night? Sunday night is not good for us. If it is Sunday, Super Kicks would be better.

===From Tony: The Superkicks program is smaller field, 4 v 4 so it is pretty similar to Futsal. Based on what Steve Locker told me about his program, it would be about 25-30 minutes of 'coached' foot skill development, then 15-20 minutes of 3 v 3 soccer to practice the skills. I'm really not sure which would be better. I think it would depend on if you were looking for lots of game like experiences or if you were looking for more development. I plan on being at the Locker Soccer activity for sure so that I can learn more to help the girls in the spring. Hope this helps.===
