Millersville Team Camp

Posted on by

Good Evening Everyone,

As mentioned previously, our high school team camp will not be held at Bucknell this year. Instead, we will be attending camp at Millersville University. This will be a great replacement for Bucknell and run in the same fashion. Players will stay in dorms on campus for 4 days and 3 nights and receive high level coaching from a college coach who will work with our team all 4 days! There will also be team bonding activities, a college player symposium, and 4 scrimmages played against high level high schools across Eastern Pennsylvania. Reminder that the dates of the camp are July 27th-30th. Additional information can be found on the attached flyer.

I am pleased to announce will be contributing $100 a player from our Big E Booster Account again this year to help support those planning to attend camp. That will make the total cost per player $375 or $385 depending on how many players we send. With that said, if you plan on attending, I need to fill out the sign-up form below by May 26th so we know what our total numbers will be. Our goal is to send at least 22 players this year. Money will be collected by Molly Myers (Big E Booster Rep) by June 1st. Additionally, the second page of the attached flyer (bottom of page) will need to be completed and sent to Molly Myers along with payment to successfully register for the camp.

Remember this is for rising 9th-12th graders. No matter what grade you are entering, this will be a fantastic way to bond with your teammates, sharpen your skills, and begin to learn our style of play before preseason begins on Aug. 11th. Team camp in July has always helped prepare us immensely for the upcoming season, so I highly encourage all to participate. Any questions, feel free to reach out to Coach Shuck (braydon_shuck@etownschools.org) and Coach Wells (jereme_wells@etownschools.org).

Summer Open Gym Schedule & Parent Remind

Posted on by

Good Evening Everyone,

Attached is the open gym schedule for the summer. We will be on either Jane Hoover Turf or Thompson Turf on Mondays and Wednesdays throughout the summer, leading straight into our preseaon beginning on Aug. 11th. Make sure to check which field we are on before you arrive. Times ranging from 6-8pm to 7-9pm. The schedule can also be found on Arbiter. This is an opportunity for junior high and high school players to improve their skills and build team chemistry as we approach the fall season.

Remember, the more work you put in now, the more success you will reap this fall! Adopting a Championship Mindset starts now, not on Aug. 11th!

Parents,

We have created a Remind Group just for you to help communicate about fundraisers and any changes to the summer schedule. Feel free to join by texting “@etownso” to 81010.

Keep an eye out for Quad Camp sign up and additional details coming soon!

BLUEBERRY SALE FUNDRAISER 2025

Posted on by

Good Evening Everyone!

Thank you for all of those that attended the parent meeting last night. It was great meeting everyone and we are extremely grateful for all your support of the team this season. For those unable to attend, we as a coaching staff can’t wait to meet you soon and are very grateful for all of the support you are able to give to this team as well.

With that being said, I wanted to announce our first fundraiser of the summer, our annual Blueberry Sale! Attached is an order form and flyer with all the information you need to start selling. We highly encourage everyone to try and sell at least 10 boxes as the majority of the proceeds are going to help support the funding of our team camp at the end of July. Our overall goal is to sell 200 boxes as we have a donor willing to match up to $2,000 of proceeds, which will go a long way for supporting the needs of the team this year.

Payment should be made out to Molly Myers (Big E Boster Rep) and delivered to her by June 13th. Pick up will be June 26th at Wenger’s Meats (935 Groff Ave.) between 3:30pm-5:30pm. Both Middle School and High School families are encouraged to sell! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Coach Shuck (braydon_shuck@etownschools.org), Coach Wells (jereme_wells@etownschools.org), and/or Molly Myers (mmyers@mand.com).

More posts will be made over the next couple weeks regarding additional fundraisers and events discussed at the parent meeting last night. Again, thank you all for all the help and support you give to making this program the best it can be!

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Reposting this as a reminder that our parent meeting is tonight! The main entrance will be open from 6:45pm-7:15pm. After you proceed through the double doors the LGI will be the first room on your left as you walk down the center hallway.

Although Spring has just begun, the Summer is right around the corner. With a full offseason schedule of open gyms, team camps, and fundraisers planned, we will be holding a parents meeting to discuss the summer schedule in greater detail and answer any questions you may have. The meeting will be held in the High School LGI on Tuesday 4/22 from 7-8pm. See you then!

Weekend Update (2/8-2/9)

Posted on by

Good Morning Everyone,

Please note the following updates for the CV Futsal Tournament tomorrow and Open Gym on Sunday.

CV Futsal Tournament:

For those signed up for the CV Futsal Tournament tomorrow, please check the email address you signed up with for all the necessary details. The most important thing you will need to bring with you is the signed tournament waiver. I have attached it to this post as well for your reference.

Please also know that you are expected to wear full soccer equipment, which includes socks and shin guards. We are playing in a gymnasium so make sure to wear indoor cleats or sneakers. For our jersey’s we will wear our black warm ups from last season. Please bring a white (preferably etown) shirt as well as a backup. Goalies, make sure to bring all your gear (gloves, goalie jersey, etc).

Our first game will take place at 9:30am, so please arrive at 8:45am so we can warm up and check in. All games will be played at Conestoga Valley High School: 2110 Horseshoe Rd. Lancaster, PA. 17601. It will be a round robin style tournament to determine seeding. We are guaranteed 3 games before playoffs begin at 1pm, in which case it is then single elimination. There will be a concession stand available throughout the day.

The cost will be $20 a player. I will front the tournament fee and collect payment from everyone upon arrival. Therefore, if you prefer to write a check it can be made out to myself (Braydon Shuck), but if you prefer cash, I will accept that as well.

Please let myself or Coach Wells know if you have any other questions. We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow!

Important Dates!

Posted on by

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Please make note of the following dates for the offseason.

Team Camps:

Quad Camp: June 16th-19th (7th-12th grade)
New Team Camp (TBD): July 27th-30th (9th-12th grade)

Unfortunately, we received word that Bucknell will no longer be offering their team camp this year. While this is sad news as it has been a long-standing tradition for us, we are committed to finding a new team camp that is equally as valuable (if not more) and already have several promising options for the end of July. More details about this new camp and Quad Camp will be passed along as we receive them. These team camps are pivotal to building team chemistry and setting us up for success as we prepare for the Fall season. We hope everyone can join us in these events.

CV Futsal Tournament:

Friendly reminder that the CV Futsal Tournament is on February 8th. We still have some spots open that we are looking to fill in order to register our two teams. If you are interested in playing, please fill out the form on the recent post titled “CV Futsal Tournament – 2/8” by next Thursday, the 30th.

Open Gym (1/26):

As you are aware, open gyms will begin this Sunday (1/26) in the Old High School Gym. However, this Sunday’s session has been moved up to 1pm – 2:30pm, in light of many people’s interests in watching the Eagles Game that afternoon (GO BIRDS!). The back doors used to enter Daubert/Training Room will be open for those attending. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Open Gym & Weightlifting Schedule

Posted on by

Good Evening Everyone,

The open gym and weightlifting schedule has been set for this winter/spring season. Please see the attached document for your reference. This is open to both High School and Middle School players.

We will be playing futsal in the Old High School Gym on Sundays from 3-4:30pm beginning January 26th. There is one exception where we will be playing from 4-5:30pm on 2/16.

Weightliftings will be held every Tuesday and Thursday right after school from 3-4:30pm in the new Field House Weightroom beginning on February 4th. All students will enter and exit through the Stadium gate next to the tennis courts.

In the words of the great Lionel Messi, “You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.”

What is your dream for this fall soccer season? How bad do you want it? … We can’t wait to find out!

CV Futsal Tournament – 2/8

Posted on by

Good evening and Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday break.

With the new year comes many opportunities for us to sharpen ourselves as a team as we prepare for the upcoming Fall Season. One of those opportunities is the Annual Conestoga Valley Futsal Tournament. Those that participated last year experienced high-level competition against teams in the Lancaster-Lebanon League, many of which were our direct section competitors. Not only is this tournament a great way to reinforce valuable skills such as first touch, receiving across our body, and how to operate in tight spaces, but it is also a fantastic way to build team chemistry and leave our mark on the league as we will inevitably face these teams in the fall season. Last year we got knocked out in the quarter finals. Let’s make a name for ourselves this year and take home the Championship!

For those that are interested in participating, please fill out the sign-up form below. We plan on registering 2 teams this year, which will allow for a maximum of 20 players. This tournament is open to current 9-11th graders and will start at 9am on Saturday, February 8th, and will conclude around 5pm (or earlier if we are knocked out before the finals). The cost will be $150 per team and will be split evenly among those participating. Therefore, if we can get 10 people for each team, it will only cost $15 a player. All games will be played in the gymnasium at Conestoga Valley High School (2110 Horseshoe Rd. Lancaster, PA 17601).

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to myself (braydon_shuck@etownschools.org) and Coach Wells (jereme_wells@etownschools.org). More posts to come soon regarding additional offseason opportunities.
