#1
seed for bracket play. Unfortunately we got knocked out by a strong Epic National Team. Back at it this weekend in the 16u division of the Midwest Elite Invitational.
Seems like a lifetime ago, but not really. I’m not much older here in these pictures than the awesome kids I coach now. Proud to have served, and happy Veterans Day out there to all those who have served. Thank you all for your service!
It has been an incredible fall and winter. A new team came together & showed so much growth, had some fun wins, earned a little hardware, & everyone put in a lot of hard work. It will be fun to follow them thru spring ball then a highly competitive summer schedule. Can’t wait!!
Bonding after exciting 1-0 win over Dukes Torres Gold in our opening game of

You know a player has bought in to the program when she asks her coach for a workout because she could not be at practice. Way to be dedicated to yourself and your team Liv! So proud of you!!
Fun meeting coaches with whom you have had so many calls with during the recruiting of your athletes, but never have met. One of my ‘05 girls just committed to
