Maestro

There are a few words that come to mind when I look back on this amazing season. The first being how thankful I am to everyone in this room/house.

Thank you to Adam and his family for hosting thisbanquet. To Katie Porter who helped organize the alumni game ceremony, which was not an easy task. To Gitnajali Pathak who provided the seniors awesome jerseys with their names printed on the back.To assistant coach Jay Edwards, who does an amazing job mentoring the players and who genuinely cares on and off the field.

To Dino and Chris for all the knowledge and expertise they bring tothe table.

To the newest member of our coaching staff, GK Alejandro Carrero, who brings a unique style of gk training, and makes gk training fun and challenging for our gk.

It should gowithout saying that being a team manager/parent is a difficult job….Danny Lerner volunteered to be our team parent, but quickly convinced his wife Jennifer to take over!!! Jennifer, thank you foraccepting the challenge. We are beyond grateful for all that you have done for us this year from sending emails, organizing responsibilities, answering questions about game locations and countless otherthings. I don’t know how you do it, but we are thankful of your multi-tasking abilities!

Also to our unsung heroes, we might not say it often enough but we are grateful to have the following peoplein our corner:

Our sports medicine dept, Milo, Sandy, Alison and Ruiz. They are dedicated, professional and do a magnificent job of treating our players and getting them back on the playing fieldas soon as possible.

Roberto, our maintenance masterman. He does an amazing job of having the field and facilities ready to go.

Miguel Acevedo, our equipment manager.

Greg Bishop andour whole strength and conditioning dept.
