Thank You

Posted by Sam Acri on Nov 06 2011 at 12:01PM PST in 2011 Fall

To the players, parents & coaches of the 11U Rebels:

As you all know another year came to end earlier today with double header sweep and another title for the boys.

This message is not a recap of our accomplishments for the year, Ill leave that up to coach Conry, but more of a Thank You to everyone.

Although coaching this team is absolutely one of the most enjoyable things in my life, it is not an easy task.

The talent of these boys is clearly something that is different from most of the teams their age and trying to balance the development of a group of players as opposed to any one individual is and will always be my goal. I realize that I have made some mistakes along the way but always remember they were mistakes and nothing more than that.

I personally thanked the boys after today’s game for their hard work and effort from the year, but please thank them all again for me.

I would like to thank all the parents for not only allowing me to coach your children but for your support throughout the year.

Finally I would like to address a special group of guys, the guys I coach with. This team as I said earlier is a special group of players, but we also have a special group of coaches. The endless hours of practices, all the conversations and the endless dedication to the boys is one of the real reasons for this team’s success; for this I say Thank You

Coach Sam

Very well said as usual.

I would also like to thank the players, parents and Coaching staff for all their efforts.

This group is very special and being a part of it is a great privilege.

It was a season for the memory banks for sure. I am very proud to have my son be a part of this special group of kids and coaching staff.

It is a daunting task for the players and coaches to improve over this seasons accomplishments. The bar is pretty high and I wouldn’t want to be the coaches and teams in NBNM who have to follow this act.

In closing I just want to say, boy what I wouldn’t pay to have a video of that Wood Bat final. It truly doesn’t get better than that.

I look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.

My best,
Bill P.

Thanks to everyone for a great season. It was memorable in many ways. This is a very special group of kids in a lot more ways than baseball and I’m very proud to be a part of it.

Special thanks to Sam for putting it all together.

The amount of work the boys do in the off seson will determine how far we go in 2012.

The progeress we made from 10 to 11 was amazing. If we can make that same amount of progress from 11 to 12, watch out!!!!

See you all at Night at the Races.

Coach Bob
