Head Coaches John Antulov and Sean Wallace at Spring Evaluation Camp
For ten years now, the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack Men’s soccer program has held a spring player identification camp. Over the previous nine, they’ve found a number of great prospects. This year, co-coaches Sean Wallace and John Antulov are hoping it’ll be no different.
“John and I hope we can find a few kids to fill some holes that may have been left by graduating players, those who are academically ineligible or maybe not coming back.“ states Wallace.
The WolfPack Coaching staff are expecting 35 players from as far away as the Kootenays, Squamish, South Okanagan, North Vancouver and Abbotsford to take in the ID camp, which is set for Sunday (March 29) at Hillside Stadium.
“We’ll have a two hour training session in the morning that will include some small sided games and some skill work to see where these kids are,’ says Wallace “Then, we’ll have an intra squad game in the afternoon to see how everyone stacks up.”
Wallace is being very diplomatic about what holes the WolfPack, who finished second in the BC College Athletic Association and fifth at the Canadian College Athletic Association Championships (beating FX Garneau of Quebec on penalty kicks) in 2008. “I guess to be fair to everyone, we have 18 holes to fill but some are smaller than others. Nobody has a guaranteed spot at this time in the season, so this weekend the returning vets will play along side the new recruits.”
The WolfPack kick off their 2009 BC CAA schedule Saturday April 5th when the defending National champion Capilano University Blues make a trip to Hillside Stadium.
The training sessions on Sunday are from 10-Noon with the intrasquad match going from 2-4 pm.
