"Soccer Cleats" WINNER

Congrats to Connor Hagen for earning the first official "soccer cleat" award of the season! After a team discussion and silent vote, Connor was chosen as the player who has most consistently demonstrated and encouraged "team cohesion" thus far in the season. And despite his apparent difficulty with stair steps, it's still a well-deserved honor. Way to go, Connor! In addition, he will be recognized as one of the team captains for our opening home tournament.

We can ALL keep striving to unite this team in every possible way that we can.

Shin guard UPDATE

To all players, be advised that not only should your shin guards be NOCSAE certified according to appropriate personal height and weight (see page 46 of our soccer guides), but A TAG/EMBOSSED SYMBOL IS REQUIRED TO BE DIRECTLY ATTACHED TO THE SHIN GUARDS AS WELL. In other words, do NOT rip or cut off the tag!
