Let me begin by saying a quick thank you to everyone for helping to make our spring season one of the best in years with over 35% growth from previous seasons! I want to especially thank those of you that volunteered your time as coaches. Without our volunteer coaches, we would not be able to make this possible, so thank you!

As great as the spring soccer season was, I want to make this fall season even better! We are excited to have Jeremy Govero a part of our club as the Director of Coaching and Director of Academy. Jeremy will offer extra academy training through the fall that will allow your player more opportunities to train and improve their individual skills.
