2007 FEBRUARY NEWS UPDATES

Welcome again to all the Shooting Stars Family Members! The beginning of 2007 has seen an excellent start to what is going to be another great year for us. Registrations are still increasing and there is active expansion into the Niagara Region by the Shooting Stars. This is the Litmus test for the High Quality Training and affordable prices that this School has to offer.

There is continued success by the students of the Shooting Stars Family, as we continue to see rapid success by those who commit themselves on a weekly basis and strive to reach their personal goals, gaining on the dreams that they have had for many years. Never be afraid to go up to a Shooting Stars Trainer and seek help. We promise that we will give you our best. That is our commitment to you. That is what Training is for. Our own, Mr. Soccer, Francois, has always said that every minute that you Train, it is like putting Cash in the Bank. It is your investment into your future. Training pays off!

Shooting Stars has broken new ground this year, venturing into the Scholarship World, that thrives among the College and University levels within the United States. Staff have been working diligently to provide avenues for our students, so that they can achieve success in this area. Our own Junior Groves has assisted with information sessions for the older students, to provide them with knowledge in these area. As well, Junior has set up Scouts from the Bowling Green State University, to attend on February 10the 2007 at the Shooting Stars Training Facility, ASTROPLEX, so that players can have a chance to perform their best, again, to try and realize their dreams. This offer is provided at no cost to our own members, as we try to afford every opportunity to the students at the Shooting Stars Family. When we are with you, we don't give up. We set that example to you so that together, we can strive to meet your personal goals, whatever they are. Good luck to all. Further, staff members are using their contacts to try and help the students on the Scholarship route and will continue to assist them continuously. Remember, hard work always pays off. Cuba is heating up rapidly and this is shown by the March Break Tour being "Sold Out"! Our own Francois Glasman, the Visionary of Soccer in Canada, will continue to take players from all over the world to Cuba, so that they can train and be assessed for future Trials in Europe. This March, students will train twice daily, as well as have some exhibition games among the local Cuban Talent. And Oh, I hear the food is Excellent there so this makes for an excellent combination - Training, Exhibition games, Food, Sun and Beach! Wow! Three of our top members will be traveling to France soon for Trials so keep watching the websites for updates.

In May of this year, 16 invited top players in the under 14 age group will be traveling to Nice, in the South of France, for Trials, as Shooting Stars has received this Fantastic Invitation. Players there will have an opportunity to play some Top Pro Youth teams, including OGC Nice. Please contact Francois Glasman for further information; (416) 432 1234 - but don't wait too long as space is very limited.

Clayton Rosario has spent many years helping needy families in Soccer. While he was Technical Director at Amour Heights SC, he set up 5 after school programs in needy areas. There was also a "Mentorship" programs where High School Students assisted with the younger ones. The Mentors received reference letters, to assist them on their future paths in life. Programs like this kept the Youth off the street and had them in a more productive environment. Soccer teaches many life skills also. Clayton remembers very well growing up with not too much. Mother Teresa helped his mother get on her feet when she was younger and this spirit of giving, of helping, has stayed with his Family. It has been very nice to see at the Shooting Stars Family, the older students helping the younger ones. Whether it be simply showing them how to stop a ball properly, or how to pass a ball properly or just listening to them, looking at them in the eye and really trying to help them. And to do this all, with a SMILE. The value of being a Mentor, goes beyond many years and helping others will come back to you ten fold.

Shooting Stars Soccer has recently started helping the, FACS - FAMILY AND CHILDREN SERVICES, in Niagara Falls and recently, one of their most talented Foster Children, was awarded with a Free 10 week Training session, with our School. Most of us cant even comprehend how much this means to a Foster child, who does not have too much. Some of us have been in that position, and can. So every day that you train at Shooting Stars, Train with pride, Train with Desire, Train for every other young person who are all not as lucky as we are, to have this opportunity. Train for those who are Physically challenged and wish that they could get out of a wheelchair and just perform for their Coach. And just maybe, one day, when you have achieved your Goals because of the opportunities that your parents have provided, you can again give back to others who are less fortunate.

"THE WORLD IS YOURS. GO GET YOUR DREAMS".
