Another Catch-All Tryout - U11/U12 Girls, U13 Boys, U9/10 Boys

In an effort to fill out the rosters of some of our teams, we will be holding an additional tryout on Monday 7/6 at 6pm at Pioneer Park.

Specifically, we're looking for U11/U12 girls (born between 8/1/97 & 7/31/99), U13 Boys (born between 8/1/96 & 7/31/97) and U9/U10 Boys (born between 8/1/99 & 7/31/2001)

If you're interested, or know anyone else that might interested, please have them come out on Monday night. We'll have a simple form to fill out, then run a training session for about 60-75 minutes so we can get a good look at the kids and how well they play.

It'll be fun, fast-paced, and hopefully we'll find some spots for some kids to play soccer with us this year.

Hope to see you on Monday!

Back from Vacation

Hey everyone -

I'm back from vacation and catching up on things at work for the next couple of days.

I'll really get into soccer related stuff on Friday so if you have questions they'll probably need to wait until then.

And I know the nksoccer.com website is down - the server got zapped by lightning last week and is out for a while. I've got to find a new server and a new web designer while I'm at it.

Thanks
Rob

Catch-All Tryout - Thursday 6pm - Freedom Park

We've had a number of people call or e-mail us indicating they were still looking for a team to play on this fall and/or spring, so we're going to be holding a supplemental "catch-all" tryout this Thursday at 6pm at Freedom Park in Edgewood

The tryout will be different than most in that it will have boys and girls of multiple ages trying out together - we'll divide the kids up into age appropriate groups based on who shows up. We'll have the kids work on their individual skills and then progress up to small sided and small group games. The whole process should take about an hour.

Afterwards, we'll determine if we have open slots that each player could fit into and get abck in touch with everyone via e-mail on Friday.

In the event of inclement weather we will post the cancellation notice here on the blog no later than 4pm Thursday

Catching up on some late season congratulations!

The NKSA Mustangs, pictured above, were finalists in the Coke Classic tournament June 6 & 7 in Indiana. The team went 2-2 on the weekend, falling by 1 goal to the host club's top team in the final match.

In league play, NKSA ended the season with 4 division winners and 2 division runners-up. Congratulations to those teams who will move up a division the next time they take the pitch for league play.

We had a great first season in CUSL and it's only going to get better as we move forward! Keep up the great work, dedication, and determination - it's the players, coaches and trainers that make NKSA such a great club!
