A majority of the players are participating in soccer for the first time this year. With great leadership by our captains and returning players, a strong team bond has been developed and everyone works together to build up each player on the team. This weekend showed the power of teamwork and dedication because this team looked like they have been playing together for much longer than a few weeks. The team is excited for the rest of their games this season.
