Midwest Indoor Showcase

by Administrator on December 26, 2008

On January 19, 2008 (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) the Springfield Soccer Club will host the 2nd Annual Midwest Indoor College Showcase for Boys & Girls (Juniors & Seniors). This event brings players from throughout Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas together to play in front of numerous college coaches.

Last year there was a tremendous response for the event and they expect the same this year. Players sign up as individuals and are placed on teams to compete in the event. An effort is made to place teammates (high school/club) on the same teams so there is a familiarity for the players on the field.

The cost is $55. See the flier for details. Registration is online. Don’t forget to print the confirmation page.

The Bundesliga was very excited about the unveiling of the new kits. Did Coach Rogers wear stirrup socks for soccer?

A pigeon was killed by a soccer ball during a recent Argentinian soccer match.
