I wanted to extend my thanks to you for the kind words that you put in for my daughter to the Coach of SWOS.
We both appreciate all that has been done, although Kira is still a bit apprehensive I do believe she will do very well at SWOS.
We both want to continue to support you and your Academy in your future endeavors and I hope when Kira returns she can share some of her experiences with the athletes in your camp. Kira will be off on August 11th and hopefully all the words of encouragement given to her will be the driving force in her future success.

Hey Jeremy and Peter!!
We never got to properly say thank you for all your help with our team in the summer and it's really a shame all the drama had to happen with Malton, but when you deal with idiot coaches (both on the '93 team and on the '92 team) and club people with no class, I guess that’s what you get.
You guys showed us all what real class is and how adults should be acting when they are around players. Thank you for all that you have done for all of us.
Hope all is well, and thanks so much again for your help! It was very much appreciated by both teams.
Hope you two are doing well!!

THANKS AGAIN! ..

Our last practice will be the 10th. If we don’t see you before that, we hope that you’ll get better. We would like to thank you for being a great coach. You helped us to get better and improved our moves.
We would like to thank the
It was a great experience.
Thank you again.

Woke up this morning (or afternoon :)) and seen this email. Thank you R.D for your best wishes. More importantly we would once again like to give credit where credit is due. Vicky was lucky enough to start with Red Devils at the ripe age of 10 years old. This was her first exposure to training outside of her team (even though at the time her team coaches where not happy about it). It opened her eyes and ours to what discipline and training was all about. Work ethic with a mixture of fun and understanding from Peter was the right combination, which has stayed with her today.
Many times over her Provincial experience, she has had ups and downs. When she was down and not selected, the only thing she knew was not to give up and would train herself at home to correct whatever she felt was her weakness. This habit of never giving up and working thru problems was instilled in her from her years with Red Devils.
Thank you Red Devils, Peter and Jeremy, your Academy provides the foundation every inspired young athlete needs to grasp their goals and provides a life lesson surely to help anyone's future.

Thanks Jeremy for putting Chantel at ease on Thursday; anyhow, I could just imagine how nervous and uncomfortable she was, but you put her at ease and taught her some things, you really gained her respect that day.
She feels that after several more sessions with you she will be ready to give the Elite group a try, though it doesn’t really matter as long as she continues to train and comes away having learned a few more things as that is what counts.
Again thank you for your support and patience.

Just to let you know...
Jocelyn is now a Burlington player. She made the team on Sunday (her Birthday). She is pretty happy and can get on with things now. She also made the 1st cut for her school's Junior squad and knows it will be very competitive to gain a spot at this point.
Jeremy and Peter: Thanks for all the great support you've provided to Jocelyn. It has really helped make the difference in both her successes and her attitude.

BTW, Lauren had a game on Tuesday...sorry forgot to tell you. She will be there next week though. She was fun to watch on Tuesday and she had some good defensive moves. When I asked her where she learned it.....you guessed it.....from Peter! P.S. Thanks again for inviting Katie to the practices. Jeremy, Katie told me about the little walk you took and really appreciated the pep talk. Thanks for noticing that she was feeling a little intimidated and taking the time to make her feel comfortable. This, I think gave her confidence a little boost.
Thanks again,
M. R.
Thank you, Jeremy and Peter.
We will certainly think about it for the fall/winter season.
Once again, thank you for giving us this opportunity to train with the Red Devils. Hope to see you during a game some time this summer.

I finally had the opportunity to stop into one of the training session (Sunday is a very busy hockey day for me) and although I was only able to stay for a short time, I very impressed with the way the Red Devils staff conducted the session.
Hopefully I can stop in again soon and introduce myself to you.
I know my daughter Alexa is learning a lot of valuable skills.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

2005 was a very good year...for my daughter's team. However, she spent most of the season watching the ball being kicked over her head as her team chose to play a direct-ball, kick and run style of play instead of the skill based, possession game that was promised by the coach when she was recruited.
Your program, last summer and over the winter, created the only learning environment that she has had to combat the negative and destructive influence of being in a win at all costs team last summer. It's the reason she didn't quit after being totally disillusioned after last season.
Thank you for showing my daughter that winning is not everything and that development will always be more important than any trophy or coaches' ego. I just wish these coaches would take the time to come out and see how very destructive their quest for glory at all costs is on the kids. Maybe it's time you guys started teaching coaches the right way to train young athletes; they truly don't get it.
Thanks again.

and the confidence you have in the ability she possesses when it
comes to soccer. Both my wife and I have seen an overwhelming
improvement in her skills since the time she started with the
Both Peter and you have created a training atmosphere where only the serious come out to focus and train to enhance their soccer skills to new levels. Peters consistent "not good enough...always room for improvement" attitude keeps all the girls striving to improve their skills and you're motivational and "no time to fool around" outlook has given the girls an environment which seems to work well for those who want it bad enough.
From the beginning, Megan was a great example to the girls how hard works pays off. Obviously an inspiration to all the girls. My daughter is also a little overwhelmed to see you and Peter at the games to support her and see where more improvement is needed.
This is an Academy which I'm very proud to say my daughter is a part of.

Shameless plugs. My kid has attended the Red Devils for 3 years now, and her confidence with the ball is great. Its one of those programs that you can't get your kid to stop going to; Work ethic with a hint of fun, it would seem these guys have found a working formula, for results and passion. Kudos to the hard work they do, and the hard work they get in return.
Thanks Guys.

Hey
A brilliant program and true dedication from Coaches Peter, Noel and Jeremy.
Shortee now attacks the ball (with no concern for her opponent’s size or speed). Thanks guys for all the great skills and encouragement! Parents...don't neglect the training aspect of the game. The fundamental skills are so important especially for this age group.

I would just like to say thank you for your well wishes for my daughter and to let you know as we have always said, she could not have done anything without the hard work and help of the
S.P.
Well, what more can I say. My daughter is now playing on an elite team and is one of the best players on the field. And all of this is because you guys had the foresight to see her potential while other coaches just wrote her off as being too small. Thanks for everything.

Thank you for making soccer fun for both my kids after their bad experience playing on a rep team. Sitting on the bench, never getting to play more than five minutes a game made last summer very stressful for the whole family. It's nice to see them having fun and learning actual skills without being yelled at for making mistakes. Rep coaches should be forced to come and see how real training practices are done!
David
I tried all of the "big places" (BRYST, Premier) but found my child was not developing very well. With nearly 40 kids and 1-2 instructors, I shouldn't be surprised that little was accomplished. So it was with a certain amount of skepticism that I came to your camp. And I am glad that I did! What a difference; small classes and personalized instruction have made my kid happy about playing soccer again! Thank you for all of your help.
Walter
I am really impressed with the skills practices and the intensity at the sessions. I have rarely seen soccer players at this age practice this hard and actually enjoy it! My son has had a great time and has improved his skill level and confidence so much that he cannot wait to play this summer. Thanks for everything.
D.S.
Thank you Red Devils. My child came to you as a keeper with no ball skill with her feet and after the Winter Session, not only does she now have some ball skill, she has the confidence to use it and is on her way to becoming the sweeper-keeper she needs to be. There is no replacement for the good old fashion WORK ETHIC that your school supplies.
