FEBRUARY 2008

In an effort to create a SoccerPlus Community, bringing club families together, we will be sending out a newsletter highlighting our club players, teams, staff and parents. We need your stories for the next e-newsletter! Please click the link at the bottom of the letter to send in any stories and news you would like included in the next e-newsletter.

  Catch that Bouquet!

On January 21st, 2008 Liz & Steve Lackman were remarried in the SoccerPlus Education Center with the U17 girls as their witnesses. FSASoccerPlus played a major role in the Lackman’s second chance at life together and what a better way to show their joy and love for soccer than to get remarried prior to the U17 girls MLK tournament.

Congratulations Liz & Steve!
