Summer Is Upon Us

SSC finished up its final training sessions for the Spring season last night. With the end of practices the summer is officially upon the players, parents and coaching staff. A few teams will still be preparing for some events later on in the summer. The SSC 92/93 I Boys are training for their upcoming appearance in the MRL playoffs in Indiana. They are trying to finish up strongly with hopes of ultimately being promoted into the top division of the MRL. The 95/96 and 94/95 Red Boys teams each will be participatig in the US Club Soccer Regionals in Indianapolis from June 28th thru July 1. These players and parents will be receiving a training schedule shortly for the weeks leading up to the event in Indy. The 90/91 Boys are training hard for their second straight appearance in the USYSA Region II Championships in Rockford. Training sessions have been very intense and the boys are looking forward to seeing their draw and who their opponents will be, the draw is June 10th.
This summer also marks the first year that SSC with be fielding a Under 23 team. This team begins training this coming Tuesday and is playing against other regional clubs that also field U-23 squads. Some teams they will be playing against are Metro United from Edwardsville, IL, NW-Arkansas Lightning and Scwaben from Chicago, IL. The 23's offer SSC alums and other interested players who are in town for the summer a quality place to train through the summer and to prepare themselves and stay sharp for their upcoming collegiate seasons.
Best of luck to all the teams in their future events!!!
Also a friendly reminder that if you have not signed up for tryouts to get registered on-line.
Thanks to all the players, parents and staff for a great year!!
