Players,

We have been invited to participate in the Conestoga High School’s indoor tournament to be held on February 13th beginning at 9am. The tournament will conclude allowing travel time to return home to watch the Super Bowl. Returning Varsity players will have priority as well as Junior Varsity players who plan to play this Fall. Please email Coach Sostack at james_sostack@etownschools.org using RE: CV Tournament. Space is limited to one team at this time so don’t delay in your response.

Strength training started this past Friday. We start with Tuesday/Fridays from 3 – 4:30pm and will add an additional day in a few weeks as gym space open. Under the direction of weight lifting Coach Andy Derr boys will gain strength and speed. Contact Coach Sostack with questions. No excuses.

Weight Lifting/Strength training under the direction of weight lifting Coach Derr and Coach Sostack begins this Friday, January 21st from 3-4:30pm. No excuses, bring your soccer brothers to continue our rebuilding to win a championship. We start our program Tuesdays/Fridays. Make the time, make the effort, make a championship team. We will continue to seek opportunities to expand our training times.

Parents,

Mark calendars for “Quad Camp”. Hempfield, Penn Manor, Manheim Central, and Etown train and scrimmage over 4 evenings (5:30 -8:30pm) at Hempfield HS Quad complex. Each evening our team will have a selected college coach to instruct our boys on specific objectives outlined by Coach Sostack (Sr High) and Coach Myers (Jr. High). The boys will finish their training with a full field scrimmage. This camp is for both Junior and Senior High players (Grades 7-12 for Fall 2022). Notice: We are currently finalizing selection of the SENIOR HIGH TEAM CAMP and hope to release dates as soon as possible to assist with summer vacation planning. Bucknell, our traditional overnight camp, is undergoing a transition in leadership and we have not been notified if the camp will run this summer. Stay tuned!!! Sign up information for both Quad camp and Senior high camp will be forthcoming. Go Bears!

Good Afternoon All,

Attached is a PDF laying out the instructions to sign up your player for one of the two U15 teams for the Spring/Summer.  Please read through it carefully and select the appropriate team based on the breakout on page 2.  If you are not listed there and would like to play, or know someone else that would like to play, please contact me ASAP.

You will see that we plan to keep the boys practicing at the same times/locations to keep building on everything as one total unit.

If you have any questions, please let me know. 

I think this is going to be a great way to keep all of the boys playing together in the “off season”.  

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Coach Ben

Players,

Please wash your uniform and clean your team bag (remove dirt and wipe it clean). Keep you team socks. Please show this post to your flex teacher to be dismissed.

I saw this on the Elizabethtown United FB page and wanted to share. Not only is being a referee a great way to earn some extra $$$, but more importantly, it is a fantastic way to LEARN THE GAME!

Soccer IQ is a major intangible that sets apart good players from great players. Knowing the rules inside and out will help you to be a better player and teammate.

In an effort to keep the boys playing some level of soccer during the school offseason, we are trying to organize two JH teams through Etown United. We will work with you to schedule around other sports and commitments. Please read the attached and let me know if you are IN or OUT. Spread the word, as we are looking for a total of 34 players if possible.

Coach Ben
