Hope everyone enjoyed the first indoor training sessions and will be registering for the second sessions. The HS boys age group has started training and the boys have been working hard and are looking forward to a successful season. Remember anytime you can watch soccer games on ESPN and Fox Soccer Channel, I suggest you do so. You can learn a lot from watching soccer on TV. Pay attention to the moves they make and the players positioning on the fields. The NCAA Division I Final Four will be televised this weekend on ESPN. I will post game times later this week.
