Over the July 11-13 weekend, the Games Coordinator program kicked back into action. Games Coordinators went through a refresher training on the Friday, and then off to some great paintball fun on Saturday. The weather was hot, and the action fierce as GC’s and their friends stalked each other throughout the courses of Paintball Action Games, a great time was had by all!

Outside of managing all your floor hockey games through the summer, the GC’s are also looking forward to playing in both the Urban Beach and Sleeman Slo-Pitch Tournament.

For anybody interested in becoming a Games Coordinator, it’s a great way to participate in sports, meet people, and enjoy some great team building activities hosted by the ESSC. We are currently hiring for GC’s to start anytime in August and work through the Fall season. Please click here to submit an application!


















 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the Spring 2008 season Hudsons stepped up to help reward teams who demonstrated great sportsmanship in our leagues. Each week one of the teams who was nominated for a Lady Bing Award by their peers was awarded a $100 tab for Hudsons to use however they wanted and crowned as our team of the week. Along with this newfound fortune the winning team will be featured in the scoreboard with their team picture and bio.

To top it off all weekly team of the week winners were entered into a grand prize draw at the Season End Party where the runner up received $100 more in gift certificates and the Grand Prize winner got custom t-shirts made for their team.

How do I get nominated?
There is no sure fire way to get a nomination for a Lady Bing, but any team that you play could be the one to give you that vote. These are just a few areas to focus on to be a worthy Lady Bing Candidate

1. Be respectful of the other team
2. Have fun and make sure your opponent is having a good time too, regardless of who is winning
3. Know the rules - go to the game informed so you are more able to avoid breaking the rules or taking penalties
4. Be honest and accountable
5. Cheer
6. Buy the opposing team a beer at the nearest sponsor bar after the game.

In the Spring 2008 season we had 70 teams nominated for Lady Bing awards, lets keep up the great work through the Summer. To nominate a great, sportsmanlike team click here.

Player Liaison Update

Hey Soccer players! Hope you are enjoying the lined fields. Matt has now completed the lining of all of the ESSC's active soccer fields. If you notice the lines wearing off and think we need to revisit that location let us know and we will send Matt out there to check it out.

Matt has also been doing a lot of field scouting and you can help too. If you know of a great soccer field or Slo-pitch diamond that is not being used that we can add to our list of fields, let us know. We will contact the city and see if it available to add to our lineup. You can send field info to info@edmontonsportsclub.com
