Wow, it has been awhile. The end of the semester, the spring in general and the start of summer have all come so quickly!
I wanted to get back in touch to give a quick update with what is going on at SIUE. The spring season ended on a great note with three wins in our last three spring contests. Some players got some valuable playing time in new positions. But most importantly, the entire team began to develop an understanding of a couple new tactical formations. We were focused on expanding our soccer IQs and trained in a couple new formations, then carried those into our spring games. The results were mixed of course, like with anything new. But the exposure to ideas and what they can do for us as we move into Ohio Valley Conference play this fall was of great value.
The last couple weeks Alaina and I have spent a ton of time watching the high school playoffs, that just finished this past weekend. Being in such a great soccer playing metropolitan area is a major plus for our program...but it means logging literally thousands of miles to continually watch our incoming signed class of 2011, our verbally committed players of the 2012 class and all the potential future Cougars of the 2013 class!
The endless job of recruiting quality student athletes is one that our staff thrives on. So if you see us out and about, please say hello.
Here are a few links on some of things that have popped up at SIUE this Spring and Early Summer:
*2nd Annual SIUE Golf Scramble
*SIUE Summer Soccer Camps
And of course we will have more updates on our incoming players, preseason, the release of our 2011 Schedule and of course more recruiting trips this weekend to Illinois State Cup in Rockford and Missouri State Cup in St.Louis!
Take care! Go Cougars!
