Keeping track of all the news....the word is out that Charlie Naimo, past coach of Jersey Sky Blue, has been hired as the GM of the Los Angeles franchise of WPS. Naimo, whose Pali Blues won this year's W-League championships, looks to feel right at home in Southern Cal despite his New Jersey roots. In my opinion, Naimo's strength is that he is a "people person." This is a skill that will serve him well in his new job. I credit Charlie with getting me involved with Sky Blue, and work that is very inspiring and exciting. "Cleats (as opposed to hats) off" to Charlie on the new position!
Don't forget to get your tickets the the USA Women's Nat'l team vs. Ireland at Giants' Stadium on Sept. 17. Look for Sky Blue there, and come by and say hello.
