You don't always hear the feel good stories so it's important to share, especially one that epitomizes what KLM stands for.
A parent of one of our U16 Hurricanes players is also a teacher at a Vancouver Secondary School. She overheard two new students speaking in Swahili and, only understanding the words Manchester, Arsenal and Liverpool, thought they might be interested in soccer! Both boys arrived recently to Canada after long journeys through a number of African countries.

To All KLM Coaches, Managers and Parents
None of us know how the 2010 Olympic Games will impact the balance of our soccer season.
Teams will face many obstacles such as:
- Depleted number of players due to families attending events or away on Spring Break.
- Changes in home field locations and times due to field closures.
- Commuting difficulties with pending road closures and traffic congestion.
Our goal is to have as many scheduled games played as possible. Teams should know that Districts will have very limited space and time to reschedule games and not all requests will be met. Teams may be asked to play these games during the week. Any scheduled games not played during the 2010 Winter Olympics will be recorded as not played.

Thank you to all who participated.
As no team sold twenty toques, the pizza party prize will not be awarded. Our total of 87 toques was somewhat below our goal, however you know the saying “Reach for the moon, even if you miss you land among the stars” and there are a lot of players, parents and coaches wearing those unique KLM toques every week on our fields!
There are still some fleeces and t shirts left over and available at Abbies. |

At the U9 level for the 2009-10 season,we received a fairly sizeable influx of new players, most of whom had not previously played league soccer. Each of our 4 teams: Braga, Clan, Grasshoppers and Volcanoes has had to work very hard to integrate the new players and bring them up to speed while supporting and nurturing the existing players, some of whom have been with KLM since the age of 5.

Player recognition is a core value of the KLM Soccer Association. As a result of the reduced funding received from the Provincial Casino Funds, the trophy and awards program was cancelled for the 2009-2010 season.
With extra efforts made by the Board in contacting our traditional club sponsors and soliciting additional contributions and adding some new club sponsors, the board is pleased to announce that at its’ recent business meeting, a motion was passed to re-instate the trophy program this season.
The club gives out individual trophies to all U6 to U11 players and also presents the Justin Manhas Leadership Awards to a nominated individual on each U12 - U18 team.
As the Board finds monies to replace the lost funding, it is hoped to reinstate other activities/programs that had to be put on hold. |
