We wanted to create a place where sports could be played recreationally with an emphasis on sportsmanship and fair play while at the same time, improving the development of sports skills. Break Away emphasized recreational soccer through modified rules of play in a family atmosphere that welcomes soccer enthusiasts no matter what their skill level. In conjunction with our business, Break Away has introduced several popular soccer programs to the Madison area. Over the years, we have developed a simple phrase that represents our mission: “Playing the Game… Teaching the Game… Respecting the Game.” Since the day we opened, our staff and our customers have been committed to supporting our recreational soccer in a family and social atmosphere, which has contributed to our success over all these years. We are proud to say that Break Away has been in business for almost a quarter century and I have been managing indoor soccer since 1985 (almost 35 years!). I have loved every minute of it, but my partners and I are ready to pass the baton on to a new group of soccer enthusiasts. It is our hope that we identify a new group with new energy, ready to carry on the traditions of Break Away while forging their own path at the same time. Most importantly, we sincerely hope that any new team will honor our dreams and our staff’s commitment to serve the Madison area’s recreational soccer needs for many years to come. Our 46,000 square foot sports complex is the perfect structure for running Break Away and can easily accommodate other uses. In addition to the 2 indoor soccer fields with dasher boards and newly installed infill turf, the building and property include the following features: • Men’s and women’s locker rooms with showers • 34’ ceiling height and 100’ free span across the fields • A viewing mezzanine and office area • 100% climate-controlled environment • Ground floor commercial spaces available for third party, income producing tenants These building features, when combined with other equipment and supplies can provide what is intended to be a turnkey operation in this sport minded community. Thank you! It’s been a fun ride! If you have any questions or would like to tour the facility, please let us know. In the meantime, we look forward to continuing to provide the same quality product to the soccer community that everyone has become accustomed to.

    TeamUp Fantasy AUDL Power Rankings (6/24 - 6/30) https://www.teamupfantasy.com/ 1. New York Empire The Empire are still in the number one spot this week. Last weekend they had a game against the Thunderbirds and won easily. They should get another win against the Cannons next week. A real test for the Empire will be in two weeks, when they face the Breeze. 2. Chicago Union Chicago had a great weekend; they beat the Mechanix 30-13 and advanced to 3-0 on the season. Danny Miller played extremely well for them and earned player of the game from the Union. Their next game is against the AlleyCats, who have only beaten the Mechanix this year. 3. DC Breeze The game last weekend for the Breeze was amazing. Their offense and defense both had completion percentages above 90. Young players such as Jacques Nissen and Duncan Fitzgerald stepped up and played well. A.J. Merriman had a huge performance with 3 blocks and 6 scores. They are moving up a spot this week. 4. Raleigh Flyers The Flyers are moving down a spot this week, but that is only because the Breeze played exceptionally well. The Flyers got their first win of the season last weekend and have an easier schedule on the horizon. The next three games they play should be easy wins. 5. Dallas Roughnecks Dallas is staying in the same spot this week. They have only played two games and are currently 1-1. Even though they have only played two games, they did beat a good Aviators team this week.

  • Teamup AUDL Power Rankings
    TeamUp Fantasy AUDL Power Rankings (7/29 - 8/4) https://www.teamupfantasy.com/ 1. Atlanta Hustle Atlanta proved why they should be number one last weekend. They played the Empire and put on a clinic, winning by a score of 22-21. The junky zone the Hustle use makes opposing offenses make a lot of throws and increases the chance of a turnover. Atlanta’s defense works together well in this zone, almost looking like a machine. 2. New York Empire The Empire may have lost, but they are still moving up this week. They have locked it in after a couple shaky performances earlier in the season. Losing to the Hustle by just one is nothing to be ashamed of. Babbitt carried the Empire’s defense and got 4 blocks last week. 3. Chicago Union The Union are moving down a spot this week, but they didn’t play terribly. They beat the Wind Chill, who only had one loss before that game. Minnesota collected 13 blocks against them, but besides that they only had 7 other turnovers. Their offense, which is led by Janas, valued the disc and made the Wind Chill earn their turnovers. 4. DC Breeze The Breeze did not have a game last weekend, which could be a good or bad thing. They get rest, but this also gives them more time to think about their loss to the Hustle two weeks ago. Next week they face the Phoenix, which should be a win for the Breeze. 5. Raleigh Flyers Raleigh was another team that did not have a game last weekend.

BLOOD ON THE THIRD COAST Andrea Rochelle Blimling PROLOGUE In describing the national fadeout of the New Left movement of the nineteen­ sixties, historian Todd Gitlin writes that "activism never recovered from the summer vacation of 1970," and on the national level, this is most certainly the case. Though popular anti-war opinion increased after the Cambodia/Kent State uprisings in the spring of that year, student anti-war protests and other outward expressions of frustration declined in size and intensity across the country. The 1970-71 school year had fewer protests than either 1968-69 or 1969-70, and media attention declined from forty percent of protests covered in 1969-70 to ten percent in 1970-71.1 The national leadership of the best-known New Left organization, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), split during its national convention in the summer of 1969.
