What a night to remember! Over 200 SYSA players and families traveled to Columbus to cheer on the Crew in their match against Philadelphia! To start the night, half of our players watched warm-ups from the Crew bench, and half watched from the front row accompanied by Crew Cat! In a very exciting game, the Crew tied it up late in the second half and the crowd went crazy! Thanks so much to SYSA Board member Sara Molnar for organizing such a fantastic opportunity for our families!

Put your hands together for the BU12 Black Team for clinching their division with an undefeated season. U11 was a tough year for this team, but they started this fall season as a united U12 team working hard on their skills under the guidance of Coach Albert and parent assistants Coach Nate and Coach Brad. Their on-field communication, passing, and use of the field have improved with each game and practice. While we're super proud of these boys for their amazing season, we're also very proud of the hard work they put in as a TEAM. Congratulations to the boys and coaches of BU12 Black on an outstanding season!

Jackson's coaches nominated him for his unwavering work ethic and dedication to the sport:

" Not only is he a great teammate, and someone who encourages others around him to be better, but he is also a really good soccer player who uses his skills to break ankles! He listens to the instructions that we give and continuously tries to better himself. He is a vital part of our soccer family and we are very fortunate that he is a White Diamond."

Teamwork, dedication, and our super strong sense of community are what make our Recreation program amazing! We're grateful to players, like Jackson, who show teammates, players, coaches, and fans what it looks like to be a leader in this soccer community. Keep up the good work!
