The indoor training shirts for this winter were created by a budding artist and talented soccer player.  Andreas Kalinikou is a member of the Elite FC U15 boys blue team and a varsity member of the Marysville High School Soccer team as a freshman created the latest indoor shirts.  He is a talented artist that enjoys drawing soccer pictures and club logos.  A great big thanks to Andreas.  The shirts look great!

Elite FC has set up a program with Kroger that will take a percent of all that is purchased at Kroger and half of it will be put toward the player fees.  Please sign up and get others, like grandparents, family friends, co-workers to sign up to help support the club and help with your child's fees.  Click on the link on the left to learn how to sign up.  Thanks for all your support!

Elite FC will be adding 12 new teams in the spring increasing the number of teams playing in the club to 36.    Elite FC will have 3 Buckeye Premier  teams U16 girls, U17 girls and U17 boys starting this month.  The other 9 teams will begin in late Feb. or early March.    There were many new players that have come to tryouts.  There were some all district players and all conference players that attended the tryouts.    Thanks to all that attended and the great coaches that were in attendance teaching and evaluating the players.   If you missed tryouts and want to play in the club, email Marc Kirsch at marckirsch@elitefcssl.com.  There are very few open spots on some teams.   

The U8 boys academy won first place at Soccer First in the U8 boys division.  The team had 7 wins, 1 lose, and one tie.  They scored 66 goals and only gave up 20.  Congratulations to all the boys on a great season!

This past weekend six coaches headed to Philadelphia for a chance to continue their development at coaches.  They all were able to attend many great field sessions and lectures from many of today's top soccer coaches.  They also had a chance to meet with many college coaches to discuss the Elite FC college recruits.  The six of them met Bill Beswick, the English National team sports psychologist, Oguchi Onyewu, from the US Men's National Team, many of the WPS top draft picks, the commisioner of the WPS, and many other influential soccer players and coaches.  The Marysville High School Soccer Booster Club was a sponsor of the trip.  Check out the pictures of these coaches at the convention in the images above.

Elite FC received a $1500 donation from the Marysville Moose Lodge.    The club is very appreciative of this donation.  Elite FC will be purchasing two goals and two nets for Mill Valley Central.  This will allow teams an opportunity to train at the park and alleviate the crowded practice areas.  Thanks again to the Marysville Moose Lodge!
