Girls U9
· Jon Shoulta & Dave Elias have both agreed to coach and for the team to play up to U10. These two coaches have divided the players into two teams. They have agreed to run practices together.
Girls U10
· Peter Berrigan has agreed to coach this age group and to play up to U11. An issue with doing this is there are too many girls to make one team at this age group and not enough to make two teams at this age group. After lengthy debate the board decided that 5 players will remain at U10 and play for Coach Shoulta and Coach Elias. The board voted 7 for and 1 abstention. The board felt that this decision was fair to all while maximizing the player participation. The 5 players were determined to be the ones that this is their first year in travel soccer and did not play with Coach Berrigan in the fall.
Girls U11, U12 Travel & U12 Premier
· This age group cannot get the rosters set until the U12 Girls Premier roster is finalized. Alice Heinrich has agreed to coach the U11 girls and they will play at U11.
