Soccer Coaches Clinic – April 20th
Prairie College Pilots Athletics will be hosting a Soccer Coaches Clinic on Saturday, April 20. It will start at 9 AM with a 2 hour classroom presentation on campus, followed by a 90 minute practical training time. Our speaker will be Bo Kampmann from Assiniboine College in Brandon, Manitoba. The cost for the whole training time will be $30. There will be a 10 person minimum requirement, however if we do not get this the clinic will be cancelled and there will be a full refund.
Bo Kampmann Bio:
I am a Provincial B soccer coach in Manitoba and a registered coach by Coaching Canada. I grew up and started to play soccer at the age of 4 in Germany. Between 1979 and 1988, I played for the German military against teams from several European countries.
In 1989 I moved to Canada and am since then involved in soccer as a player, youth coach, developer and the final 5 years as college coach for soccer and futsal. I also have lead the Manitoba Special Olympic soccer team to a silver medal at the nationals. My involvement with Special-O lasted for 6 yrs.
Due to the restructuring of the coach development I am now classified as a certified c-licence.
For the upcoming season I am tasked, by our local Soccer Administration, to oversee a specified group of coaches as head coach to guide and mentor towards becoming certified.
Futsal Friendlies – November 3
Pilots Athletics is excited to announce that a series of futsal exhibition games will take place in the Rick Down Athletic Centre (RDAC) on the campus of Prairie College, this coming Saturday November 3rd 2018. The Portage College Voyageurs (Lac la Biche, AB) are coming to Three Hills for these friendlies as they prepare to enter the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) in the sports of soccer and futsal. The opportunity for our Pilots futsal teams to compete with another growing program was something the program could not pass up according to Prairie’s Director of Athletics, David Petroziello.
“The idea of hosting Portage for these four games was definitely an intriguing one when they first brought it to us. Any opportunity our student-athletes have to compete against programs at similar stages of development is one where they can continue to grow while testing their skills. We look forward to their visit and to some exciting futsal action.”
The first game begins at 1:30pm as the men’s Pilots and Voyageurs will begin the day. This game will be followed by the women’s teams at 2:30pm. The men will square off again at 4:30pm, and the women will wrap up the day with the final match beginning at 5:30pm.
Admission is free. All games will be streamed live. Link will be available here soon.
