End of the Celebration and Logistics

As another season has drawn to a close, there are a variety of end of the season items that need to be addressed.

First, we will host an end of the season celebration to commemorate our season and our Lady Generals Soccer community. This celebration will occur on Sunday, November 13th from 3:00-4:30PM at TNHS Cafeteria. The event will center around connecting with one another, celebrating the achievements of our players, and reflecting upon our season. To ensure its success, I will need the following support from our community:

1. Legacy Core members, we will meet after school Wednesday, November 9 from 3:15-4:00 to help plan and organize our end of season celebration. Please reference this document to begin brainstorming and to view areas where you can support.
2. The banquet will be a potluck meal. The meat will be purchased and bought by the booster club, and then all players will be responsible for bringing at least one side dish to support the meal. We will be having fried chicken and will plan on eating at 3:00PM (my apologies for the odd time, the boys soccer team is hosting their banquet from 5:30-7:00 on Sunday as well). Please click on this document to view the item that we have requested you to bring. If you have a specialty dish that you would like to bring, please feel free to make adjustments to the sheet.
3. Communicating your attendance - all players or community supporters, please communicate your banquet attendance through this Google Form. 
4. Uniform Collection - all player uniforms should be properly washed, bagged with its player name on it, and returned to Coach Martin by Sunday, November 13th (banquet date). When uniforms were distributed at the beginning of the season it was documented what pieces of the TNHS uniform was given to you to use; all parts of your uniform should be returned to Coach Martin. Players who fail to return their uniform or parts of their uniform by Sunday, November 13th will have a charge placed on their student account until it is returned or purchased. We will offer a uniform purchase deal for any senior player who wishes to keep parts of their uniform for personal memorabilia. Obviously, any part of the uniform which is kept by a senior player will need to be replaced before the following season and therefore the purchase price of your uniform will be equal to the purchase price of a replacement jersey. According to BSN Sports, the prices to replace pieces of our uniforms are listed below (click on this link - tops, shorts - if you wish to view a purchase receipt from additional uniforms that we ordered three years ago). Seniors that wish to purchase part of their uniform should return all pieces you do not wish to keep in a individual bag with your name on to Coach Martin before the banquet. For the pieces you wish to keep, total your purchase and make a check out to TNHS - Girls Soccer and bring this to the banquet.
• Short-sleeve tops = $60.00 per top
• Long-sleeve tops = $67.50 per top
• Shorts = $32.75 per short
5. Character Awards - We will honor certain individuals for demonstrating outstanding character throughout the course of the season. All players will have an opportunity to vote for student-athletes who best exemplified the traits described for each award. We will have one representative from both the JV and Varsity teams be recognized for each award. Before you vote, please read the descriptions for each award below so you know what we're looking for. Varsity team members will vote for the varsity awards, while JV team members will vote for the JV awards. If you were a dual player, then you will vote for both. 

• Higher Purpose Award - A player who exemplifies these characteristics played for a higher purpose. They did not use the game to just compete and win, but they used the game to help prepare them for life. They sought excellence in all areas - in the classroom, outside of school in their community, as a person, and as a player.
• Community Award - A player who exemplifies these characteristics has invested a lot of energy into building the community within our program. They reached out to develop relationships with ALL of our teammates. They reached out to help support others on and off of the field. They were a consistent positive life force - someone others wanted to be around.
• Team over Individual Award - A player who exemplified these characteristics ALWAYS placed the needs of the team above their own needs. They would sacrifice their own self-interest for the greater good of the team. They played for the name on the front of the jersey, not the back of the jersey.
• Pursuit of Excellence Award - A player who exemplified these characteristics consistently looked to themselves for ways to improve. They consistently worked to get better by focusing on the small things. They never settled for "that was good enough". They pushed the tempo in practice and they constantly pushed themselves and the team to improve.
• LEADER Award - A player who exemplified these characteristics was a true LEADER on our team and to our program. Others looked up to this person and they were a player who you would follow. They represented and lived our LEADER values on a consistent basis.
