End of Season Celebration

Good Afternoon Lady Generals Soccer Community,


One of program traditions is to gather together at the end of season to celebrate our players and community members, reflect upon the season, and to share gratitude. I'd love for your and your family to attend this awesome event. Continue reading for details and next steps.

First, the girls wanted to do a little something different this year. Two major things are changing...

1). The girls want to have a Christmas themed banquet so please feel free to dress for the season and to be festive in your Christmas attire. Think ugly Christmas sweater.
2). The end of season celebration will be a two-part event. Our traditional banquet setting will occur from 5:00-6:30PM in TNHS Cafeteria, then Family Fun time will occur from 6:30-10:30PM at TNHS. Family Fun time is a players only event and is optional to attend. The girls are creating an agenda where they'll have time and space to hang out, play games, and watch a movie.

End of Season Celebration Details
Date: Dec. 7, 2019
Part 1: 5:00-6:30PM - Banquet, players and family
Part 2: 6:30-10:30PM - Family Fun - players only, optional to attend
Place: TNHS Cafe

During the traditional banquet portion, we will host 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 5:00PM. Please click on this document to view the side dish that we have requested you to bring. If you have a specialty dish that you would like to bring in lieu of the requested dish, then please do so.

Next Steps For Players
  1. Discuss the banquet with your family and determine how many people will be attending from your party.
  2. One of the goals at the banquet is to celebrate each individual player and the gifts that they bring to our team. Players will be partnered together where you will then be responsible for reflecting about your partner and identifying what you appreciate about them and how they contribute to our program. At the banquet, you will read the celebrations that you have identified for your partner. Reference this document for official details of the Player Gift Showcase.

  4. Character Awards - We will honor select 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. Before you vote, please read the descriptions for each award - the descriptions can be found within the Google Forms. The following awards will be distributed: Higher Purpose Award, Community Award, Team over Individual Award, Pursuit of Excellence Award, and the LEADER Award. Votes must be received by Tuesday, Nov. 26. PLAYER Awards - Vote Here
  5. Uniform Collection - all player uniforms should be properly washed, bagged, and returned at the banquet. Players who fail to return their uniform or parts of their uniform will have a charge placed on their student account until it is returned or purchased.
