Letter: STW Football Coach & Training Programme (download and complete!)

Dear parents/guardians of the Somtawin Football Team players,

End of June you should have received a letter including permission slip via your son/daughter, because he/she is selected to be part of our Somtawin Football Team. In this letter it is told that we have a new trainer, additional training sessions and we will have regular matches. Because part of this activity will be done outside school hours, there will be additional cost. These will be paid on a 50/50 basis by the Somtawin school and the parents/guardians. This means that each player should contribute 500 THB per month.

Since a lot of slips were not yet returned it may be that you did not get the letter. If you click on the picture or THIS LINK you can download and print the letter. Please fill in the details and make sure your son/daughter takes it to school on shortest possible notice.

Many thanks, kind regards,

Mr. Steve, Miss Nongnoo, Mr. Henyo, Mr. Vrijken

Beach training on July 5th

Playing a game is great, but training really is a must. At some time in the future maybe to maintain the qualities the guys will then have, but as long as the qualities did not yet come out to their fullest, training is key! Today they trained at the beach, just a couple of 100 meters away from their old Somtawin schoolbuilding. As with every first time it was difficult to have everybody there in time, but at 3.15 PM they all were ready for Mr. Francis´ fitness training. Although there is no real picture evidence of the actual training, our guys were very enthousiastic and warming up as well as cooling down were taken very seriously by all. We heard Francis already talk about a new game next week against one or two of the other teams he trains, so they really have something to go for. Great work, guys!
Please find below some pictures that were taken today.

The ones getting there first started bit of a training by themselves.

The trainer just arrived, everybody eager to get into action!

Warming up, very important.

... very, very important!

Cooling down: also very important.

... also very, very, very, very...

... very very very important!!
