PRESS RELEASE
The Springfield Soccer Club is pleased to announce that this summer they will begin an Under 23 Men’s Program with a mission of providing a professional soccer environment for college age players. The program will offer many highlights for the college player; later start date so players can relax after the college spring semester is over, 6-8 matches so players have an appropriate level of training-match ratio. Finally, players will participate in a 7 v 7 InnerLeague which will allow for weekly opportunities to play during the summer.
“Having been a former coach in the PDL with the Chicago Fire Reserves (currently Chicago Fire Premier), I look forward to this program starting. We look forward to providing a professional environment, where college players can develop their game during the summer months. Players will also be taken care of like professionals, both when we travel and train.” said Jeremy Alumbaugh Director of Soccer Operations for Springfield Soccer Club.
Highlights of the match schedule will see the team traveling to Chicago for a weekend series of three games. Other trips will include matches in St. Louis and Arkansas. “After visiting with college coaches, many of them feel that too many of the current summer soccer programs place too much emphasis on games and not enough on training. We are going to try and provide a professional training environment with enough games to keep players sharp.” said Alumbaugh.
Interested players should contact the Springfield Soccer Club Office at 417-832-1552 for more information.
