PRESS RELEASE
During the weekend of April 4-5, 2009 the Springfield Soccer Club once again made its’ presence known at a local tournament. With several teams competing in the Ozarks Coca-Cola Dr. Pepper Cup hosted by Lake Country Soccer the familiar red and white uniforms were prominent on the fields. The weather conditions on Saturday were beautiful for early spring in Southwest Missouri, with Sunday being a quick reminder of the conditions can change overnight. Gusty winds, rain and cold made the conditions challenging on Sunday.
While it is still early in the spring outdoor season many teams and players seem to be hitting their mid-season form already. “All of the training teams have been putting in during the indoor season was showing that it paid off. A few teams even practiced during their spring break to be ready for the tournament and that shows dedication.” said Eric Sorlie Director of Player
Development for the Springfield Soccer Club.
The SSC 97/98 Boys (pictured at right with Coach Carl Rose) highlighted the weekend by taking home the Championship in the Under 11 Boys 8 v 8 Bracket by defeating Sedalia Select in an exciting overtime game. The SSC 96/97 White Girls took home 2nd Place in the U12 Girls 8 v 8 Bracket. Coming off a successful indoor session at Lake Country Soccer the SSC 95/96 II Boys also brought home 2nd Place in the U13 Boys Bracket. Other notable performances were the SSC 95/96 II Girls in the U13 Girls bracket as they finished 2-0-1.
Thanks, to all players, parents, teams and coaches for a fantastic weekend of soccer right here in our own backyard. Without the support of Lake Country Soccer and the Ozarks Coca- Cola/Dr. Pepper Company events like this would be impossible in our community.
