Chris Miller, President of the Missouri HS Soccer Coaches Association Featured

Jefferson City Jays at Kickapoo ChiefsNice article in the Southern Boone County paper featuring Chris Miller, Coach of the Boys and Girls team at the High School. As the paper notes,

But Miller and assistant coach Darlene Moore put together a plan for the Eagles girls soccer team, combined it good athletic talent and a small dose of literature and famous quotes and finished one step away from playing in soccer’s final four.

For his efforts, Miller was named Class 1 Coach of the Year for the second time, being previously honored after the fall 2007 boys season in which his team won the first Eagles district soccer title.

The photo is from May 2007 when Coach Miller brought the Jeff City Jays to Kickapoo for their annual end of season game. Jesse Sanderson, Drury Panther’s All-American goalkeeper, was on that JC Jays squad. And as noted, Chris is the President of the Missouri HS Soccer Coaches Association, the organization that puts together the Regional and All-State teams among other things.

Soccer Tour To France And Spain In 2010 For High School Girls

I received this from Chris Miller, Head Coach at Southern Boone as well as President of the Missouri High School Soccer Coaches Association.

He is organizing a trip to France and Spain for High School Girls (2011 grads or under, not sure what that means). Here are the details:

I wanted to contact you all to let you know of an opportunity for your girls players for the summer of 2010. I am in the process of organizing a team to travel to the south of France and Barcelona, Spain to compete in the Copa Catalunya. This will be a 10-day experience of a lifetime that will incorporate soccer, travel and leisure into one as representatives of Missouri.

This summer I am taking a group of local boys to Munich and the Czech republic and wanted to extend the same offer to girls players in 2010. I kept it mainly local (mid-Missouri) when offering to the boys, but wanted to send the info to all of you to pass along to your girls players. I will take 2011 grads and under — depends on how many show interest, etc. on how many teams we will take. We need at least 13 or 14 girls to go. Oh, parents are also welcome to go at the group discounted rates that are in the brochure attached. (For the boys trip, I have 16 players from 9 different schools, 4 parents and myself going to give you an idea.)

I will be holding an informational meeting THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 14 at 3:30 at Southern Boone Middle School in Ashland. Obviously, many of you are far away and will not be able to attend, so feel free to contact me with any questions. I need to know interest level within a few weeks as the prices quoted are only through July 1. My goal is to collect deposits ($200) and lock those prices in by June 25 or so.

If you have any other questions, please let me know. Again, thank you in advance for passing this along to your players.
