High School Girls Spring Soccer Co-op with Wesclin.
I am reaching out again to see if we have any high school girls that have interest in playing soccer this spring with Wesclin. Wesclin currently only has 13 players and they are considering not having a season since a minimum of 11 is needed to play on the field and there is always sickness and injuries to deal with in a season. This would be a great opportunity for any girls who have thought about playing soccer in the past or may have played in junior high to get an opportunity to learn and play the game. Please have your daughter see Mr. Cruthis as soon as possible if they are interested, thank you.
