Letter to the ANB Futbol Academy from the University of Michigan
Men's Soccer Coach, Chris Grassie

Hi Bassam,

My name is Chris Grassie, I am a coach for the University of Michigan, and I just watched your team play at the Wixom showcase this past weekend. Firstly, I must say that the development of the standard of your squads from last year to this year has been very good, congratulations on that achievement.

I would like to form a relationship with your organization, as I would be interested in your recommendations of your top players for potential scholarship consideration by us.

In particular I was very interested in Emeka Ononye for our class of 2011, I also liked Alexander James for 2009. I would like you to send them to our Michigan Recruiting Camp - Winter this February. You can find all the info at http://www.umsoccer.com. Due to NCAA rules this is the only opportunity we have to provide them with a “try-out” for us. I would also like you to recommend this event to any of your top players that you believe are good enough to excel at our level.

Please get in touch with me if you have any concerns of questions. If I can be of any help to your organization with advice on how to go about college recruitment please don’t hesitate to use me as a resource.

All the best in soccer,

Chris Grassie
