SOLD at the wire!!!Auction #37 Soccer clinic and Sounders tickets

[jackelope]

From Netminder01:
-- Soccer Coaching Clinic

I realize this is a hunting forum but assuming at least a few of you have sons & daughters who play "The World's Game", this auction is for a 1 Day Clinic. After a quick threaded discussion with Jackelope, here's what I'm offering up for auction:

The winning bidder will get *one* of the following clinic options below PLUS my two season tickets to one upcoming Sounders game TBD (seats on the 45 yard line 9 rows up):
- Youth team clinic for a day
- Coaches clinic for a day
- Club Goalkeeping session for a day
- Guest coaches TBD *

** I have a pretty good Rolodex of past and current college & professional players & coaches I will reach out to help.  I believe when coaching girls/women, it would be ideal to bring women guest coaches and the same goes for boys/men.  I will work with the winning bidder to inform them of the available coaches for this clinic.

Details:
I will travel anywhere in Washington State for this clinic but would need to schedule enough in advance to sort through guest coaching schedules along with my own.  For outside of WA State, please PM me before bidding. I will build a clinic curriculum specifically tailored for whatever the age, gender or skill set to ensure the session is high tempo, fun & informative. The clinic can be focused for a youth, High School or even an adult team.  The winner of this auction may instead ask to have this used for a Youth Club Coaching Clinic specifically to provide coaching assistance, training sessions and tactical information for their respective teams.

I'm working on a few other 'perks' but my week has just been slammed so I've been unable to connect with a few people to get firm commitments and don't want to over promise and wanted to get this written up and posted.  Suffice to say, the winning bidder will not be disappointed.  :-)

My Qualifications:
My Name is Chuck Granade and I have played & coached youth, college & professional mens and womens teams for a long time although stepped back into the work force to make better coin. In addition to team, club and ODP coaching experience, I have conducted private training sessions with existing college and US National team players along with winning 2 NCAA National Championships, 2 professional championships as a player, League GK MVP as a professional player, 1 USISL Championship as a coach with the Sounders and 1 youth Snickers state championship as a coach.

- NSCAA "C" Licensed coach (been way too busy to get my "B").
- Former WSYSA Goalkeeping Director
- Former Youth ODP coach, multiple years
- Former Coach and Board Member Northwest Nationals
- Former Goalkeeper Coach & recruiting coordinator, Seattle Pacific University (2006-2006)
- Former Goalkeeper Coach, Seattle Sounders USISL 2000-2006

My college coaching was mostly at Seattle Pacific University where I played but also did a small stint at UW (you eastsiders don't hold that against me!).

The value of my clinics have ranged in price based on the level and duration but easily several hundred dollars for this type of clinic.

Let's put the estimated clinic value at $400.
Sounders tickets - value $150

I'll let the forum users decide what the value is and be happy any amount is donated to this great cause... just not sure how many soccer fans, coaches, parents or grandparents are here. :-)

Feel free to PM me with any questions.

Chuck

Bump for the soccer crowd.

My daughter has played since she was 8 and she will be 20 this year....still plays keeper for college. Although I will be looking to donate the session to a youth team.

Thank you Netminder. Youth soccer has played a large role in my daughter becoming the young adult she is today. And to make such a generous offer for auction for such a great cause......Very, very nice.

[DoubleJ]

Crap.  I couldn't really afford the $100 but I was hoping it held

[Netminder01]

Just a quick bump.  I reached out to a few friends coaching & running the local college & pro teams to see if they can add to the auction with signed gear, certificates, etc.  I just sent the note last night so nothing yet - just a teaser that I think something will pop.

Seattle University Head Coach Peter Fewing is the first to step up to the plate and offer team training.  I'm working on some details with him; once they get locked down, I'll edit the original post.

Great value, great exposure to a local college program! 

Details to follow.

Don't line up Rob Walker.  We'll see him all the time at TC United

I'm personally out but still trying to get some other folks to bid

I don't want to bring the value *down* do I?

LOL.  Even my wife laughed at that

[Dan-o]

I have no soccer players but we should all reach out to the soccer-types we know to see this.

[boneaddict]

I am going to talk to some soccer folks tonight as well.  Both of my girls are premier players.     I wish I had some extra funds but all mine already goes to soccer coaches so to speak.    Some of these soccer guys are pretty territorial.     But I am going to see what I can do.

our club board is voting to bid or not tonight

Unfortunately you are right but it is... and should always be about the kids and teaching them this great game!  If your girls are playing in premier, good chance I know their coaches.

this auction is for a 1 Day Clinic

How long is the day?

Good question - It will really depend on the age and # of kids.  For younger kids typically the length and number of sessions should remain fun and keep them moving bug again... kind of a #'s and age combo.  The younger kids I like to have some work done straight away in the morning after lunch pick up and do another session or two.

For older kids it also depends on playing ability and the regular amount of training they get.  Kids 15-19+ are more prone to injury if we go too hard for a full day when they're not used to it.

How about for the purpose of this auction we'll say 6(ish) hours and I will structure appropriately.  If it's a club with a 100 kids or so, it's much easier to balance the work during sessions and enough break so fatigue does not set in.

Sound ok?

[boneaddict]

Lilly is working with Kenny Friese (goalie coach) and Daisy is working with Gerd Strom and Bob McAllister  and some with Marty Lackey.  They are in the middle of tryouts right now and probably switching clubs/teams depending on how things work out.   Lots of movement anyways.  I think we are on the good side of everyone, so that helps.

I played with Gerd.... Real good guy!!!!

Well, doesn't look like my kid made the TC United team so, go ahead and bring Rob out if possible.  I love that guy.  Best coach at my "E" class
