The reaction of a new parent to the Club Awards Night and Picnic says it all, "That was a lot of fun, honoring and recognizing the players shows where the club's priorities are at." This was said to Director of Coaching Erik Oman at practice on Tuesday a few days after the event.
Emerald City FC is run and exists with the help of amazing volunteers, and events like the Awards Night can only be successful with great volunteers like Belinda Chin, who was the chief organiser. In addition thanks goes to Steve Tanaka, Club President, and Dan Barsher, Club VP, and to this years designated U15 volunteer team, M97 Green, who helped keep the evening running smoothly. ECFC would also like to thank the Shoreline Conference Center staff for their help in setting up and providing such a wonderful venue for our club.
Many awards were given out during the evening, but when asked what stood out to them, an ECFC manager mentioned the recognition of out going U18 player Jack Peterson. Jack, during his last 2 years at the club, was highly active in recruiting players to his team and ensuring those that wanted to continue playing soccer at U17 and U18 had a team to play on and ultimately they ended up having a very successful final club season. Jack will be attending the University of Redlands, and he will be playing soccer!
