Dear MLU Members, The last few months have seen some MLU teams enjoy great success whether in a tournament, state cup or just regular league play. I think its great to know that our coaches and trainers are doing a fantastic job with the development of all our play- ers. Quality soccer training exists in your town so there is no reason to take your child to a PDA, Matchfit Academy, FC Delco or another town in our area or even outside our area. We are producing skillful players and nurturing the talented ones and are now competing with all of the so called elite clubs. The training culture is moving slowly in the right direction and will only get better as time goes on. Talking of training—the club organized a coaches clinic Oct 19 with a theme of crossing & finishing, this was well received by the small amount of coach- es that turned up—the club would like to encourage all coaches and trainers to at- tend such clinics as a way of helping you out. Good luck in your upcoming games and thank you for your continued support of MLU! See you on the pitch very soon! Wayne Grocott MLU Technical Director Thanks a lot ! Thanks goes out to Peter Hecht and MAGNA legal services who made a donation to the MLU sharks U12 boys at a cost of the MLU Columbus Day Tournament.

Dear MLU Members,
The last few months have seen some MLU teams enjoy great success whether in a
tournament, state cup or just regular league play. I think its great to know that our
coaches and trainers are doing a fantastic job with the development of all our play-
ers.
Quality soccer training exists in your town so there is no reason to take your child to
a PDA, Matchfit Academy, FC Delco or another town in our area or even outside our
area. We are producing skillful players and nurturing the talented ones and are now
competing with all of the so called elite clubs.
The training culture is moving slowly in the right direction and will only get better
as time goes on. Talking of training—the club organized a coaches clinic Oct 19 with
a theme of crossing & finishing, this was well received by the small amount of coach-
es that turned up—the club would like to encourage all coaches and trainers to at-
tend such clinics as a way of helping you out.
Good luck in your upcoming games and thank you for your continued support of
MLU!
See you on the pitch very soon!

MLU Team Spotlight
The MLU Storm (U12 Girls) recently completed a very successful holiday weekend by being crowned
the champs of the Explorer B bracket of the MLU Columbus Day Tournament. Displaying a timely
offense and a solid defense the Storm fashioned a record of 1-0-2 by defeating the Lumberton
Firecrackers 2-1 and then drawing with Highland (1-1) and Haddon Heights (1-1). Playing against
teams that were all ranked above them in the SJGSL the girls displayed a great amount of resolve
and determination which has been on display this entire fall season. In league play the Storm is
currently sitting atop the standings in the Eastern conference with a record of 6-0 and an impressive
goal differential of 17-3. Congratulations Storm, keep up the good work!

SCHOOLS OUT! MLU SOCCER CAMP
Teachers will be away at an NJEA teacher’s conference on Thursday, November 8th and Friday, November
9th, 2012. We will hold a two day mini camp for boys and girls, 7 to 14 years of age. All area youth are wel-
come.
Emphasis is placed upon individual skill development, core techniques and small sided games. A player’s
relationship with the ball is the foundation for creating a skillful player. The MLU two day Camp focuses on
the introduction and mastery of skill. This is achieved through maximum ball contacts, expert coaching and
skill tests. Through our camp structure, an environment is created that keeps players invested in their own
development, long after the camp concludes. Each day will focus on many different topics from passing, con-
trol, shooting, defending, turning and dribbling.
The camp will run from 9am to 12 noon each day.
The registration fee is $30 per day and is due the morning of camp. The camp will be held outdoors in Mt.
Laurel at Memorial Turf fields on Mt Laurel Road. The camp will be run by Wayne Grocott and will also
consist of our regular professional training staff. If the weather or field conditions are poor the camp may be
cancelled. All players must be registered on line at the link below, by Friday, November 2, so that we can
