Fundraising Update

Good Afternoon,

I wanted to thank everyone again who made our first annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser a success yesterday. To the golfers who participated, parents, players, and coaches who volunteered, the Highlands of Donegal Golf Course for hosting us, and especially to all of our sponsors (listed below): we couldn’t have done it without you! We can’t wait to make this an annual event and hope to see everyone again next year!

I also wanted to pass along the SignUp Genius links below from our senior parents. As we approach the start of the season, we require volunteers to help with Fair Parking, provide donations for our concession stand, and run our concession stand for all our home games. Please sign up using the link below if you are able to help. Thank you all for your time and support. If you have any questions, please reach out to Michelle Henry (jahmlh@comcast.net) and Kristi Ritter (kristi_ritter11@comcast.net).

2025 Summer Workout Packet

Tomorrow kicks off the start of our summer schedule with our first open gym which runs from 7 – 9 pm on Jane Hoover turf. The location/ time may change from week to week so do not forget to check Arbiter for the time and location, the link can be found under the “2025 VARSITY AND JR HIGH SUMMER “OPEN GYM” SCHEDULE”. For all June events look at the bottom of the practice schedule for 2024-2025. For the rest of the summer schedule you will have to look at the 2025-26 practice schedule.

Coach Shuck and I have also revised the summer workout packet which will also begin tomorrow. It is found on the website under the “2025 Summer Fitness Workout Plan”. We strongly recommend that the boys follow this plan as best they can as it will get them ready for the demands of the soccer season. Any questions please do not hesitate to contact Coach Shuck and I.

Let’s get at it this summer and do the hard work now so that once the fall comes around we are ready to make some noise!! Go Bears!

BLUEBERRY SALE FUNDRAISER 2025

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!

Parent Meeting 4/22

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)

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!

Open Gym:

Open gym on Sunday 2/9 has been cancelled. Rest up after playing in the CV Tournament. Enjoy the Super Bowl. Go Birds!

Support our fellow Etown Athletes

The Etown Bocce team is looking for supporters to come out to their home game on Monday Feb. 3rd. It is their senior night and the ceremony will begin at 3:10 pm with the match beginning at 3:30 pm.

If we want people to come to our matches and support we need to go to theirs and support them at theirs. Coach Wells will be so there let’s get as many boys out as we can!
