Hi everyone,
It's been a long time since I've used this blog, but just wanted to pass on some updates to everyone.  As many of you probably are aware, Scott Luczak has recently left the district to pursue an administration opening in the Northwest School District.  As a result, we have had to do some quick shuffling of staff on the boys side of the program and Coach Mertens has been appointed to head the boys program.  Andrew and I have had many conversations on bringing the boys and girls program into greater unity and I'm pleased to announce that both programs will begin to work together for fundraising and special projects.  One of those new connections is that I will start moving towards using our new Lindbergh Soccer page on Facebook.  I encourage all of you to find Lindbergh Soccer on Facebook and make sure you "Like" it.  This will soon become our primary means of electronic communication.  We want all the girls to make sure and support the boys teams this fall by coming out to some games.  It's going to be a great year for Lindbergh Soccer!

Meeting and Uniform Turn In on Wednesday

Just a reminder that all 3 levels will turn in uniforms on Wednesday, May 16 at 3 p.m.  Please meet in Gym 3 for this event.  We will also have a brief meeting, so plan on being there for a bit.  Afterwards, the junior varsity will have an end of season pizza party.

Banquet for the varsity is Monday, May 21 at 6:30 pm.  Mr. Butz sent out an email with more information on this event.

SPENSA and district soccer

A reminder that the SPENSA event is taking place Saturday morning from 8:45-10:15 at SoccerPark.  All players are welcomed to participate.  Contact Coach Dorsey if you have any questions

The varsity kicks off district play tomorrow night at 6 pm at Mehlville against Mehlville.  There is a gate for all district soccer events, I believe its $4. We encourage everyone associated with the program to come out and support the team. 

Uniform turn in for both freshman and j.v. teams will take place after school next week on Wednesday 5/16.  The j.v. team will also be conducting post season evaluations on this day as well as having an end of the season pizza party.

Great Monday for the program

Congrats to all three teams for their victories on Monday.  The freshman posted a 3-0 victory, J.V. won 6-0 and varsity won 5-1.  The varsity and junior varsity are at home today against conference rivals Eureka at 4:15 and 6.  Freshman girls team, we need a couple of you to hang around and be "ball girls" for the next 4 varsity home games.  We have home games tonight, Thursday and then Wednesday and Thursday next week.  All freshman level players are expected to do this duty one time.  We need two girls per night.

Another reminder that our trivia night is this weekend!! If you haven't gotten a table together yet, do so today.  Please contact Kim Butz to sign up for a table.

We will be doing a day with the SPENSA soccer program on May 12.  Exact times will be forwarded soon, but all it entails is working a couple of hours in the morning with a soccer program for kids with special needs.Coach Dorsey is our lead contact man on this and we are looking for volunteers from all 3 teams.

Varsity in championship of the CYC tourney tonight

Hello all,
We would love to have players and families from all levels come out and support the varsity tonight in the championship of the CYC tournament.  We are the defending champions of this classic St. Louis tournament and playing against our long time rivals Oakville.  The game is at SoccerPark in Fenton at 7:45.

Also, we are behind in the number of tables for the upcoming Trivia Night.  This is a really fun event and we need everyone's support.  Please help us out by putting a table together.  Players, you are also encouraged to put together a table with your friends both in and out of the soccer program. 

Varsity wins tournament

Congrats to the varsity soccer team for its victories in the Webster Invitational last week.  The team won a solid victory on Saturday against Webster in the championship match.  In four games, the Flyers gave up zero goals and scored 10.  This week the varsity is in action in the CYC tournament with the first game scheduled for Tuesday night at 7:45 on field 5 at the SoccerPark.

Don't forget to sign up for our trivia night. We only have two weeks left before the event.

WC St. Louis U-15 openings

Chris Fuchs from WC St. Louis contacted me regarding his club and I told him that I would pass on information about openings on their current U15 squad.  This would apply to current freshman in our program.  They will be playing state cup this June as well as a full summer and fall of activity.  If you are interested in picking up a club team this might be a good fit for you.
