Everything is going to plan for West Point in the FV state league 5 west competition.
Sitting on top with three wins from as many matches, it couldn’t have been a better start for coach Tom Petreski.
“I’m very happy,” he said. “With three wins from three, you can’t get a much better start.
“It’s still early though, there’s 17 games to go.
“We want to establish a winning mentality and a culture that clubs are envious of. We’re looking to build on last year.”
Petreski said it had been a seamless transition from making the move from being a player to being a coach.
“It helps being at a really good club,” he said. “I know the people and played with a lot of the group.
“I got that respect pretty early on. I’m really enjoying it, hopefully the results keep coming and it will remain enjoyable.”
Petreski said it had its challenges going from being teammates to coach, but there had been a really good buy in.
“The guys are showing up every day for training and games.”
The core group from last year is back again for West Point. Petreski said they had added some more players to the group and there was a strong solid competition for spots.
While West Point has got off to a perfect start, Petreski said they weren’t getting ahead of themselves.
“I think myself and the playing group are just really enjoying the process,” he said.
“If we can get it right, the results will take care of itself.
“It’s still too early to talk about what might happen at the end of August. We want to continue on the right track, everything is going to plan.”
Petreski said across the club that things were going really well and that they were now one of the biggest clubs in the western suburbs.
“The best thing is we’ve got some really good people to the club.”
