Now that soccer has come to an end it is time to thank the men and women who train, console, and motivate our children to reach goals and be the best they can be.

On a more personal note, we would like to thank the NHP Wildcat board for having the foresight to choose John Riccardi and George Wendt for the U-11 Travel Team. Our son has had the privilege of playing for these men for four seasons. They have encouraged him to do his best. They are warm, dedicated and compassionate men who are tuned into the feelings of each boy individually. They truly love the sport but most importantly love our children.

Whether they have had the winning season or not, this team is comprised of great kids who never give up and enjoy being with each other on the field and off. Now that's what we call a team!
