NE Revolution We had a great first game of the season!!! I love how enthusiastic everyone was to play and how nicely they cheered for their team while waiting to play. I can tell it’s going to be a great season and I’m excited to watch these boys learn and understand soccer even more.

North Both teams played a great game and had the added challenge of playing in full size goals! They did a great job. Ashlynn and Kate were great in goal. Meghan had some excellent kicks on defense. Sadie, Hannah, and Isabelle were fast as can be on offense. Sarah Kate and Alaina provided extra hussle, playing both ends of the field. Great job by all the girls.

Portland Timbers The Timbers had a great first game! Adrian and Lukas did a great job defending the goal while Miles, Destry, and Jaiden did an amazing job on offense. Kristian held down the goalie position with a huge amount of saves. We’re all excited for week two! Atlanta United Fred stepped up to play goalie and was a natural. He attacked the ball and helped direct the team from the field. Dillion and Hamzeh played strong offense. Not only did each player score, but they protected the ball well. Sean G. "The Eggbeater" mixed it up on defense, keeping attacking players to the outside and breaking up plays. FC Dallas Great play all around especially by first time goal keepers Alex and Gavin and Chris, Ayden, and Luka on offense!
