Summer 2008
June 25-July 2
Lake Country Soccer in cooperation with the Springfield Sister Cities Association and the Springfield/Greene County Park Board are planning to visit Tlaquepaque, Mexico for a sport and cultural exchange.
Lake Country Soccer is spearheading the soccer activity for this event.
We are in the initial planning stages to assemble a team of youth male U12 (birth year 1995); U13 (birth year 1994) and U14 (birth year 1993) players.
Players who are selected or elect to participate in this program shall be expected to pay approximately $900 for air fare and uniform costs (est. $100). Some other expenses (housing, some food) will be covered by local hosts.
Parents who wish to join in this exchange can expect to pay $1600 for double occupancy and $1900 for single occupancy. Air fare, hotel and some food are included in this price for adults.
We are seeking to take approximately 18 (eighteen) male youth players this summer.
Those desiring to attend should initiate the process of applying and securing passports as passports are now required to travel to Mexico. Expedited applications may be necessary in order to have passports in hand well in advance of the anticipated departure date of June 25th.
Jan Stahle, David Cheek and one or two other individuals will serve as coaches for the team.
Lake Country Soccer will hold an informational session on Saturday, March 29th at 2:00pm at the SoccerDome indoor facility. Any male youth soccer player in the designated age groups interested in this exchange program are strongly encouraged to attend the informational session.
