Financial Assistance Available for Winter Programs

The board has voted to approve financial assistance for those who can demonstrate financial need to help defray the cost of the optional winter program of training.

If you applied for, and received financial assistance for the fall season (or spring season for High School aged players) you need only send an email to the club administrator (tkeefe@pacesettersoccer.net), indicating that you are requesting consideration for scholarship for winter, identifying your children and their fees, and stating whether your financial status has changed, improved or worsened. It is typically more helpful for the scholarship committee if you briefly describe the financial difficulties so they better understand the need. Also, reiterate your family's monthly or annual salary.

If you have not completed a request for this year please complete the application form for financial assistance and provide all supporting documents requested.

The deadline for this application is January 10th, 2012.

Club Forms U18 Girls Team

We are pleased to announce that this coming Spring 2012 we will be putting a U18 girls team in the Midwest Regional League. The girls will also compete in the OYSAN State Cup and a College Showcase. This is a great opportunity for the girls who are going to college next year to play and for the ones who are still undecided to play and get noticed. Our Girls Director Danny Fisher said, "This is a great opportunity for our U18 girls to keep playing. We currently have 14 girls who want to play and are fielding phone calls. Despite rumors to the contrary, we will be running a U18 team." Regarding coaching, Danny said, " We are happy to announce that Scott Gloden will be coaching the team. Scott coached our U17s last year and spent the fall coaching at University of Cincinnati in the Big East."

There will be a meeting to go over the program Thursday, 29th of November at 8:00pm. This will be held at our indoor field house on 5400 West Central. For further information please contact Danny Fisher at dfisher@pacesettersoccer.net or 419-360-4839.

At the end of the season the Big Ten Conference recognizes the top performers from some of the top programs in the country such as Ohio State, Michigan, Indiana, Michigan State, Penn State, Northwestern and Wisconsin.

It takes a special player to get that award but to receive it as a freshman is unbelievable.
