The 2009 Inaugural Season (for the men's team) came to and end last week...which means that 2010 BEGINS! The first season of a program is always a tough one for a soccer program because your goals truly don't change, but it is a little unrealistic to expect instant success. But with that being said, we found a great deal of success for a first year program. It was a tough season mainly because the expectations from everyone grew quickly with early wins and a win against the 2008 ICCAC Champions....but, the injury bug midway through the season changed all of that.
But, it is very safe to say that as a first year program...we were able to show people that we will have a program that puts teams on the field that will play with class and the game environment will be one that all teams enjoy playing at. All in all...that the program will be a class act. That is the vision...that is the plan.
But, maybe even more so than 2009, I am really excited about 2010 which has officially begun for Iowa Lakes Soccer. 2010 is exciting for many reasons...here are just a few:
-We now know what we are getting into and can do a better job of recruiting.
-The women's inaugural season begins in 2010.
-Recruiting is going great!
-We will have an offseason to make us stronger.
-More community service will mean more fans at games in 2010.
-More night games in 2010....will mean more fans at games in 2010.
A great program is never built in 2 months...and to players and people from the outside, that is really all we have had together to build this program so far. Pretty exciting that the expectations are already so high for Iowa Lakes Soccer! That in itself will only make us stronger...which makes me much more excited for 2010.
