Subject: Holland ?? anyone ??


Hello everyone !!



Jan has stopped in St Louis for a brief visit and we met to discuss a possible trip to Holland .

The dates are March 17 thru March 25, 2008.

The invitation is for boys born in ’94.

There is a tournament in Holland during that time and there will be training as well with Dutch players.

All of the particular details will be worked out shortly.

We are looking to bring 12 players from St. Louis to join with Dutch players and participate in the tournament.

If interested, please respond.

Solid SLUH outlasts CBC in title game
By Joe Lyons
POST-DISPATCH
Sunday, Sep. 23 2007

FENTON — Jack Twellman saw the opening and took the shot. And what a shot it
was.

Twellman's 35-yard blast, into the upper-right corner of the net, highlighted a
solid effort as St. Louis University High knocked off CBC 2-0 on Saturday in
the title match of the 53rd annual CYC-Bob Guelker Memorial Soccer Tournament
at Anheuser-Busch Center.

SLUH, ranked fourth among Post-Dispatch large schools, improved to 12-1-1 and
avenged a 3-2 loss to the Cadets in defending their CYC-Guelker title.
Third-ranked CBC is 11-2-1.

Has Twellman ever hit a ball better? "Probably not," he said "I knew I hit it
well, but it's not like I was placing it. ... Coach tells us to aim for the
middle because the ball probably won't end up there anyway.''

The shot came with about 14 minutes to play and was the SLUH senior's second
goal of the match. In the first half, he converted a penalty kick to put the
Junior Billikens on top.

Hello Terry,

We would like you to open the next webpage to see which title Michelle got from the soccer club JVCCuijk. She has been appointed to “ Talent of the year”.
Every year there is the election of the sportsman, sportswoman, sportsteam and the promise of the future. And the last year they made Michelle talent of the year; the most talented youth-player of the last year. Isn’t that wonderful?!
I will translate the article for you.

JVC chooses Michelle van der Laan to Talent of the year
At the annual member meeting Michelle has been chosen to talent of the year.
The president of the club, Ingrid Kloosterman, took extended time to speech about Michelle. The title was handed over by Ellen van Eldik, the coach of the girlsteam from the KNVB, district under 17.
Michelle started to play soccer at the age of 8, but she also was a fanatic gymnast and she decided to proceed her gymnastic-career. So she stopped playing soccer. In 2004 she nevertheless choose to play soccer again and so she stopped with the gymnastic training and turned back to JVCCuijk.
The last season she was the only girl to play in a boysteam(C2) and she took part at the districtsselection girls under 15 KNVB. She even played with her mothers team and was an important player.
Michelle has played 2 selection games for the girlsteam district under 17 and is now waiting for the results of it.
She played them very well.

Best regards to all of you!!
Michelle, Anja and the rest of the family

Hello Terry,



All is well here.

Thank you for keeping the blog up to date. We still check it regularly. It is nice to read how every one is doing.

We still talk about St. Louis a lot. And of course we always talk about soccer.

I think Jip has learned a lot from you, about soccer, about friendship and about life.

Good luck to you and greetings to everyone.
