First our all, I want to stress that this is OUR program. By this I mean the entire Fordham Community. We proudly take the court each game wearing our uniforms with FORDHAM on the front. This includes our administration, faculty, staff, alumni and especially our fellow members of the student body. We play to represent YOU and all things Fordham.
Additionally, I want you to know that you are all a very important part of our program. We would not have an outstanding facility like Rose Hill without the support of all the staff members involved in cleaning, staffing and operating it. We spend a considerable amount of time in Rose Hill training and competing. Food service does an outstanding job providing our team meals. Without the cooperation of the faculty it would be problematic for us to combine our travel schedules and class time. Our alumni provide the financial support to keep us very competitive in all we need to do. The Fordham administration has proven since my first day on campus that we are committed to excellence both on and off the court!
Now for our “winning difference”…our student body! We need YOU to help us as we head to the stretch run of our season. We have four remaining home games and we hope you can plan to attend and help support your fellow students. We thank our loyal student athletes that regularly attend our games! I challenge you to join us in Rose Hill and help us in our quest to be the best we can be. Our motto for the program is “TRADITION BEGINS….NOW!!!” Please join us and become part of something special! We currently are 15-6 and 5-1 in conference. This is the best record since the Rams have joined the Atlantic 10 in 1995. Our team plays hard and I think we are fun to watch! Hope to see you on Sunday!
Thanks and GO RAMS!
Coach Gaitley
P.S–If you have any thoughts, ideas, or comments on how to help build Rose Hill into a place our opponents hate to visit please email me at sgaitley@fordham.edu.
