We, the Firehawks Lacrosse Club, have taken on the sponsorship of a Military troop, B Co 6-101, they call themselves the Pachyderms. This unit is deployed in Kandahar Afghanistan.  Firehawks would like to encourage that all players take a few minutes to sit down and write a letter to our troops.
 
Coaches, please spend a couple of minutes at practice this week and ask your players to write a letter.  Team Parent, you can send the request to the families as a reminder and include the deadline for turning these in.
 
I would suggest the deadline for the players to turn the letter into the coach be at practice next week (May 7th).  All the letters need to get to Doug by next Saturday, May 8th.
 
Below is a word doc with the firehawk logo that you can use as letterhead.

 

FACE OFF 5k FUN RUN February 21, 2010

  Calling ALL FIREHAWKS!!  

Each year the players and families join together and GIVE BACK to the community.  This year we are again hosting our very own FACE OFF 5k FUN RUN on Sunday, February 21, 2010.

This is an event where we expect 100% participation.  The goal is for each player to solicit pledges from family, friends, neighbors, businesses parents' friends and co-workers!  On the day of the event, each player will need to bring his or her own pledge sheet and donations.  We are suggesting flat rate pledges so that you can collect and turn pledges in the day of the event.

The 3.2 mile course consists of three laps around the Shutterfly office buildings, located at 2800 Bridge Parkway in Redwood City.  

The families will be receiving an e-mail the first week of February with information regarding the FUN RUN and looking for Volunteers! We need ALOT of volunteers to make this run smoothly.  Erin Stockford will be coordinating the volunteers.

 

This year we will be raising money for LACROSSE 4 LIFE, NATIVE VISION, AMERICA SUPPORTING AMERICANS as well as our Firehawk organization. 

We are hoping to confirm some guest appearances, so keep your eyes out for who they will be.  We will also be having a raffle after the event! Raffle tickets are given to runners for each lap they complete, plus extra tickets for running with uniform or spirit wear, running with your stick and for bringing a guest runner that comes with pledges!

If you have any questions, please send them to me,  Erin Stockford @ estockford@sbcglobal.net and I will answer your question or forward to Kim Appleton or other committee members!

Please thank these ladies when you see them, as they are working hard behind the scenes to make this event happen!

Thanks to : Kim Appleton, Jane Hagenau, Lindsey Ford, Marcella Cox, Staci Flemming and Cheryl diTargiani

Doug Appleton, Finalist for PCA Double-Goal Coach Award!

 Finalists Named for Double-Goal Coach Awards presented by Liberty Mutual

At Positive Coaching Alliance, we receive too many e-mails and phone calls from anguished parents, whose children are suffering at the hands of win-at-all-cost youth sports coaches. Of course, we also hear of inspirational coaches, Double-Goal Coaches®, whose first goal is winning, and whose second, more-important goal is teaching life lessons through sports. In fact, we make sure we hear of such coaches by inviting nominations for the Double-Goal Coach Awards presented by Liberty Mutual.
 
Of the 50 award finalists named here, 20 award winners will be announced the week of February 15th. Each winner will receive a $250 cash prize and recognition in PCA publications and press releases. Any winners from Northern California will be honored at the 2010 National Youth Sports Awards sponsored by Deloitte, where you will have an opportunity to meet them.
 

 

 

Slated for April 17 at Stanford University's Maples Pavilion, this year's awards dinner is co-chaired by NFL Hall of Fame Quarterback Steve Young and features a keynote by Jim Collins, author of Good to Great and How the Mighty Fall.
 
This year, we received a record number of nominations, proving that Double-Goal Coaching is taking hold; that more and more people value a positive, character-building youth sports experience; and that no matter the sport, no matter the location, people recognize great coaching when they see evidence of it in their children's athletic displays and in their children's smiles.
 
Collectively, the 50 awards finalists listed below have brought millions of smiles to the youth athletes they've coached. It is our privilege to bring smiles to these coaches' faces as they read their names here. We hope you also will give them a smile, with your note of support on PCA's Youth Sports Spotlight blog, to:
