The Strathmore Community Football Club (SCFC) began their second week of spring training camp with players continuing to improve on their skill development in preparation for the opening of the fall season.
The camp is preparing the players for try-outs for the peewee, bantam and senior community teams.
“We have about 49-50 kids registered up for the spring,’ said Carl Seafoot, president of SCFC. “We have a good bunch at the peewee level and a fairly good bunch at the bantam level and not a bad bunch at the senior level.”
While Seafoot said the camp is not full, they do understand that the players have other athletic commitments.
The focus of the camp is to run drills and improve skills so no exhibition games have been planned, as it is hard to plan such events when the club has no idea how many players will come out.
It is also a good way to introduce the players to their new coaches and to get used to their training styles.
“So there is a few adjustments everybody is shifting around everywhere, kids are shifting around, coaches are shifting around and yeah so it is a good test drive,” said Seafoot.
Doug Thiessen is the new head coach of the peewee team while Sean Seafoot is the new head coach of the seniors; he is also the Zone 2 offensive line coach for the Alberta Summer Games, which features seven local players on that team.
SCFC is looking forward to carrying on the success of the last season when the peewees won their Junior B championship, Bantam went 6-0 and the seniors made it to the playoffs during their first year in the nine-man league.
