" It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, who knows the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the high achievement of triumph and who at worst, IF he fails while daring greatly, knows his place shall never be with those timid and cold souls who know neither victory nor defeat. "


Teddy Roosevelt

A former Wrestler and Soccer player

"There's a point to fear. But there's an immobility to it, too. Fear can make you avoid risk and adventure, and can cause you to hide behind a mask of security. Fear can save our lives, but it can also shrivel us up, make us play things safe and sometimes deny us our greatest joys in life. Everyone should carefully observe which way their heart draws them, and then choose that way with all their strength !!!"

The only question is, will your heart control your fears or will you let your fears control your heart ?

As Yet Another Year Nears To An End
We Find Ourselves On Christmas Eve Once Again
With The Chaos Slowing In Preparation For The Next Day
Coach Joe, With Pen In Hand, Thinks Of What To Say
Each Year It Get's Harder To Follow The Last
Especially Seeing This Season Was Far From A Blast
Despite This Being Our Least Successful Season To Date
Let's Not Forget The Previous Season Was Absolutely Great
So Without Any Stalling Or Further Delay
This Is What I've Come Up With To Say

T'was The Night Before Christmas
And Throughout Our Different Towns
The DPLD Players Were All Clowning Around
Patrick Is Still Talking A Mile A Minute
As Cristian Does Drills To Better His Team's Finish
While This Season Has Seen Nicolas Appear To Come Alive
Each Game Saw Joe Bring His Toughness Each And Every Time
Now Who Could Forget The Courage Displayed While In P.A.
As My Man Ryan Didn't Let A Broken Bone Stand In His Way
We See Tyler Has Decided To Become One Of The Lawn Dawgs
Coach Pause's To Figure Out How To Fix Some Of Our Team's Flaws
Anthony Fiorella Spends The Evening With Family And Friends
And I Believe We're All Happy Zachery Decided To Play Once Again
Jonathan's Love Of This Game Is Obviously Beyond Compare
No Doubt Nkosi Would Be A Standout Even Without His Trademark Hair
Lawrence's Speed, Skill And Effort Has Been An Awesome Addition
While AJ So Fast It Sometimes Makes It Hard For Him To Listen
Travis Day Dreams Of Scoring More Goals For One And All
Nas's Silky Moves Are Always Impressive With The Ball
Marmo's Skills Are Good Enough To Play This Game
And There's Sean Tying His Cleats Once Again
Well Like I Said This Season Was Our Toughest Yet
But On My Dawgs Bouncing Back, I'm Willing To Bet
No Doubt There Are Things I Would Like To Be Different For Many Reasons
But For Now Though, I Want To Wish You All The Happiest Of Holiday Seasons



Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays To YOU !!!


Coach Joe

T'was The Night Before Christmas It Seems Once Again
Another Year Ends So A New One Can Begin
Throughout Deer Park There Are Lawn Dawgs Stirring About
Along With A Dawg House That Stands In Commack No Doubt
AJ Has Turned Out To Be One Of the Feistiest Dawgs Of Them All
He's Constantly Got Coach John Yelling " Ref That Was ALL Ball "
Fiorella & Hurtado Sleeping ? No They Are Not
They're Wishing They Were At Prime Time Perfecting Their Shot
Too His List Nkosi Adds Professional Eavesdropping Equipment
While Coach Jim Ponders Each Players Level Of Commitment
Ryan Is Hiding Garments Inside The Freezer Door
As Joey Asks Gina " Can We Play The Chicken Game Once More "
Now Nicolas Practices Juggling Over On Pebble Lane
Just As Zachery Tackles Richie Yelling " But Mom He's A Pain "
Nas Is Somewhere Sharpening His Amazing Foot Skills
And Sean's Picture Is Circled Inside A Carvel In Deer Hills
Travis Is Over Tommy's Playing Video Games
To his Families Happiness Michael Has Switched Team Names
Marmo Is Thankful For This Break At Last
As Coach Joe Reflects On The Season That Pasted
He Remembers Almost All Of The Plays
All Of The Yelling And All Of The Praise
Even Though Santa May Have A Good Team Of 8 Reindeer
Coach Joe Would Put His Dawgs Against Any Team Anywhere
Although They May Not Do Everything Perfect All Of The Time
Whenever Anyone asks " Who's Team Is That "
Coach Joe Smiles Proudly And Says " Why Those Dawgs Are Mine "
Coach Joe Wants All Of You Boys To Know
One Very Important Thing Before To Sleep You Must Go
To My Man Ryan, Fiorella And Joe,
Zachery And Hurtado
Nkosi, AJ, Nicolas And Marmo
Sean, Tommy, Nas And Pisano
Although I yell And Yes Sometimes Get Loud
Of You Boys I Am ALWAYS ALWAYS Proud !


May This Years Holiday Be The The Very Best It Could Be For All Of You In The Lawn Dawgs Family !!

Twas the night before Christmas and all through Deer Park
Not a Lawn Dawg was sleeping and it was way past dark
The Lugo boys were wrestling and destroying the house
They make so much noise the mouse had moved out
Jonathan and Adrian are juggling a ball
While Nicolas and Christopher are quietest of all
Joe wont stop talking and Shane is annoyed
Kylie is laughing as boys will be boys
Ryan is pulling a prank while singing the Sleepy's theme song
Genevieve thinks her brother is crazy but she still sings along
Anthony Fiorella is recapping our scores
As his father has brother Joey juggling news paper balls
Which leaves Gianna to answer the door
Marmo the sleeper is awake in his bed
As big sister Christina tosses balls for little Johnny to head
Over on Hawthorne Travis is arguing with big brother Jake
As Nkosi dribbles in the kitchen past Marley who bit on the fake
Nasratullah and Parwiz practice on their parents front lawn
Michael and family gather to sing a Christmas song
Tommy watches WWF Xmas Smack Down
As Kaitlin wishes winter was over so she could throw the softball around
Coach Joe has way too much time on his hands
For there's no games tomorrow and nothing to plan
So he decides to assemble his team
He starts to yell then to scream
Bring it in Lawn Dawgs and calls them by name
Zachery, Ryan, hey let's go Nic
Hurry up Joe, Tommy and Travis lets make it quick
Sean tie your shoe, Fiorella get that ball
Nkosi come on, Jonathan, DeCicco, Marmo Nas
Now Jim says " Coach Joe that's them all"
Now that your all here just quiet down
It's Christmas Eve and your all clowning around
Your parents all want you in your beds
But the Dawgs won't go
So we'll do Gassers instead
Now don't start whining, complaining or even choke
Coach Joe is just kidding, it's only a joke
the reason too each of you I did call
To wish you the Merriest Christmas of ALL !!!


MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL

From Coach Joe

T'was The Night Before Christmas
And All Through Deer Park
Not A U9 Team Was Practicing
Mostly Because It Was Dark
The Boys Thinking Of Presents And All Not The Same
While The Coach Was Making Lineups For Sunday's Game
We Will Enjoy Our Christmas With Families And Friends
For It Won't Be Long Til We're Playing Again
Our Soccer Parents Are Crazy This Much I Do Know
Cause The Day After Christmas To Another Tournament We Go
Hopefully Santa Will Hurry And Have No Delay
For There Are Games To Be Played The Very Next Day
Santa No Doubt Has A Team Of Big Strong Reindeer
But Coach Joe Has A Team That Plays With Heart And No Fear
As Night Falls On Christmas And The Presents Are All Done
Our Thoughts Turn To Soccer And Having More Fun
You Can Bet At Game Time The Falcons Will Not Stand In A Line
Cause They Will Do Their Chant Like Each And Every Time
Coach Joe Yells Out, Lets Go Boys Lets Go One And All
Now Zachery, Ryan, Joe Go Get That Ball
Fight Nicolas, Fight Tommy, Fight Romiz and Travis Pisano
Pass Jonathan, Pass Nkosi, Pass Michael and Anthony Marmo
Just Never Stop Trying and Your Sure To Pass Any Test
Win or Lose Need Not Matter If You Know You Gave It Your Best
Now Lay Your Heads Down and Fall Fast Asleep
For Santa Will Soon Arrive So Don't Your Dare Peek
As Your Coach I Think You All Play Out Of Sight
So Merry Christmas To All And To All A Good Night

Happy Holidays To Everyone Involved With the U9
