End of Season Celebration & Transition to 2021 Season

Good Afternoon Lady Generals Soccer Community,

One of our program traditions is to host an End of Season Celebration Banquet. During this time we gather together to celebrate our players and community members, to reflect upon the season, and to share gratitude. Additionally, I have formally stepped down as the head girls soccer coach, and we have hired Mrs. Nicole Burdette to be the new head coach for the Lady Generals Soccer Team. During our time on the 25th, we will introduce Coach Burdette to the Lady G's Community! So, I would like to formally invite you and your family to attend this remarkable event.

End of Season Picture Slideshow

One anchor process for the event is to host a potluck meal. The meat will be purchased and bought by the soccer 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 we will plan on eating at 6:00PM. 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. Fill out this Google Form to communicate attendance and gift showcase pairings.
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.
3. 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 have 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 Wednesday, April 21. PLAYER Awards - Vote Here
4. Uniform Collection - all player uniforms should be properly washed, bagged, and returned at the banquet. All uniforms must be inventoried each season. 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. 
5. Make Coach Martin aware of what questions you may have.

Thanks,

Alex Martin
