The Omaha Beef head coach Marvin Jones was all smiles as he greeted fans and team employees at Varsity Sports Cafe and Roman Coin Pizza in Ralston Oct. 21st.

Coach Jones was there to announce some new player signings and talk about open try outs, which were held Saturday. He was also there to interact with the fan base, which is crucial to the teams long term success and support.

“Just having that fan base of fans supporting at the games” coach Jones said about the importance of community support. “Guys have gotten to know the players, especially on social media, they are always posting and supporting the team and having events. People show out to support and that’s a pivotal part.”

Coach Jones also said he was excited about the new player signings and what they will bring to the team.

“I think one of the biggest things coming into this year is we have to build off what we had last year. I felt like we had some key pieces last year that we are still trying to get resigned but overall, I think we are doing well, I have a process of how I want to do it, and that works well.”
