SPRING 2002 ARCHIVES |
2/18 - Please e-mail me any links of the kid's off-season activities, so we can see what they do besides excel at soccer. 2/18 - New Cleat buying tip: Buy cleats that fit now.. as opposed to cleats to grow into... This will avoid kids stubbing their toes and possibly injuring their ankles. 2/18 - Practice scheduled for 2:00pm Saturday Feb 23rd at Grand Avenue. Wear cleats - we'll be outside... if you get there early DO NOT play in the goal-mouths (they'll get all chewed up) 2/10 - We have been preliminarily flighted in flight 1 again... I have contested the decision, but I don't know how much success we'll have against "Morris" United in the "Morris" County league 2/10 - The basketball and wrestling programs are going well into March, so gym space is pretty much non-existant... BUT, I still want to get you non-wrestlers back into soccer shape right away, and get everyone familiar with a ball at their feet again. SO.... I think we'll be getting together Saturdays, and possibly Sunday afternoons.. (details to follow) 2/10 - Kevin Slavin, Billy Zaccheo, and Len Locascio will be stepping down as League president, League contact and field schedulerm and Kid's program director respectively at the end of the spring season. I have been approached to step up.. and will probably do so (in addition to being the tournament director). I will be recruiting to fill positions (especially people with younger kids coming up through the ranks) 2/10 - I will try to keep this site up to date with all vital information, so I don't have to print copies of everything..... please let me know what I can do to improve it |

2/20 - We welcome our 4th Michael back to the team.... and at the same time announce that Chris has decided to sit out the spring 2002 season. We wish Chris all the best in the spring and invite him to come cheer on United whenever he can. 2/20 - I've gotten about 7 definates for Saturday.. waiting to hear from the rest !! |
3/1 - Practice Saturday 2pm 2/28 - Added a message board to the web-page |
Matt Cowap - Saturday March 16 2002. Matt went into the NJ State wrestling tournament seeded 16th out of 24 qualifiers at the Junior 126lbs class. In his first bout Matt pinned the #1 seed in 1:37. He lost his next bout 5-0 to the #8 seed, and went into the wrestle-backs. Matt rebounded with a 28 second pin against the #21 seed, which brought him up against the #4 seed - Nicholas Delpopolo from Westfield is the 2000 and 2001 International U13 49kg Judo Champion (been on cover of Sports Illustrated). After being illegally thrown and injured,Matt's coach said he had the option to stop the bout and get the win, but Matt wanted to wrestle.. and he beat the kid 4-2. Coach said that Matt was hobbling and couldn't move his left shoulder, but went on to win two more bouts against #14 & #15 seed to take 3rd place in the weight class - AWESOME JOB !! |
