As another successful indoor season winds down, our focus, attention and excitement now turn to the upcoming Spring season. 

The Spring season however brings unique challenges that can test everyone’s patience and perseverance.  The inevitable “April Showers” which lead to rainouts, cancellations and rescheduling of games can test the resolve of even the most patient individual – please try and remain positive and understanding during these occurrences. 

Often once the Spring season commences, even though many hours will be spent traveling to and from practices, game fields and tournaments it is easy for parents and players to become distracted, anxious and worried regarding tryouts.  It is important to keep our focus and attention during the Spring season on the Spring season otherwise thoughts of future seasons can undermine and impact the camaraderie, team spirit and team goals of the current season.

It is worth constantly reminding ourselves throughout the season why we are involved in soccer and the goals here at Ela for the players, parents, coaches and volunteers.  Sportsmanship, fair play and an opportunity for soccer players to develop their skills, have fun and achieve their potential. 

Finally, and most importantly, a big thank you to all our volunteers whose time, effort and commitment make this club the envy of many.  I wish everyone a very healthy and successful season. 

Go Ela!!!
