St. Louis Scott Gallagher – Missouri Girls

99/00 (U15) Age Group Structure and Placement for

2014-2015

     

To Build the Best Club in the Country. A club that positively impacts the development of our players on and off the field

and positively 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 continued progress in your daughters. I want to personally thank all of you for your commitment to SLSG. The Board and the entire SLSG Staff believe in our direction as an organization and realize that we will never be able to provide a positive experience without our members. We are quickly approaching the beginning of our seventh year as a Club, and we intend to continue 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 Facilities, Staff, Communication, and Training Curriculum reflect a commitment to providing a unique education to the player. An education that instills 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 continue 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 perspective. Working through the transition from one year to another is always difficult, this year is no exception. The MO Girls Staff has worked extremely hard to find the right fit for each child and we feel that the players are in position to experience a positive 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 entire Staff when I say we look forward to continuing to work with your family in upcoming season. Sincerely, Scott McDoniel

Prior  to  announcing  the  age  group  teams,  coaches,  and  compe3ton  please  allow  me  to  remind  all  members  of  the  Club  that  each  year  around  this    Placement  Process,  coined  ID2013.    The  Placement  Process,  by  defini3on,  is  the  process  by  which  the  club  “realigns”  teams  within  the  club  and  places  players  from  outside  the  club,  each  year.    This  process  usually  becomes  very  in-‐depth  at  the  U10  going  to  U11age  group  when  the  Club  introduces  the  Elite,  Premier,  &  Classic  Layers.    The  Club,  however,  will  implement  this  philosophy  of  “like  players  playing  with  like  players”,  regardless  of  age.    And  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  coopera3ve  effort  between  Staff,  Individual  Team  Coaches,  Club  Trainers,  &  Parents.    Division  Leaders  have  been  in  the  process  of  observing  games  within  their  respec3ve  age  groups  to  iden3fy  players  that  may  not  be  playing  in  the  right  team  for  their  ability.    To  truly  make  this  a  coopera3ve  effort  the  Staff  will  also  rely  heavily  upon  the  recommenda3ons  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.    

SLSG MO – GIRLS The Placement Process It is at this time each year that SLSG MO – Girls officially finishes its Placement Process, coined ID2014. The Placement Process, by definition, 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 U11age 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 cooperative effort between Staff, Individual Team Coaches, Club Trainers, & Parents. Division Leaders have observed games within their respective age groups to identify players that may not be playing in the right team for their ability. To truly make this a cooperative effort the Staff will rely heavily upon the recommendations 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 year the process for the 99/00 age group went a little smoother than in previous years. This was impart due to all the work put into placing the players on the correct teams last year. As with every year there will be some changes and this can be seen on the rosters below. SLSG realizes that the Placement Process can sometimes create tension within families, teams, and age groups. It is not the intention of the Club to continuously change the make up of each individual team and possibly add stress to our members lives. But it’s important to us that we take in to account numerous factors to make sure players are placed in the correct team. Finally, I want to thank all the coaches for their honest evaluation of players and the additional work put forth in creating the rosters over the past 3-4 weeks with kick-arounds, try-outs, and IPK’s. It was great to see all the coaches working together, discussing players and truly creating what I believe one of the strongest age groups with in the SLSG organization. We appreciate your trust in our “way” of providing the best structure for a player and the process that they follow from year to year. Without the support of our members the mission that SLSG strives to achieve each day can never be realized.
