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!

Kudos to the GU11 Black Team for winning their Division this past spring! Over the fall and spring seasons, the girls grew in their communications on the field, took more shots on goal, fortified a strong defense, and bonded as a team. Their coaches, Coach Jed and Coach Trey, along with parent assistants Coach Courtney and Coach Segev, supported their development and encouraged them along the way. Unsurprisingly, the Black team is already off to a strong start this season. Congratulations to the whole team on this well-earned accomplishment!

Please help us congratulate the following players when you see them!

Izzy Beesley, Eloise Davies, Grace Fedor, Lyla Huff, Lucy Marudas, Fiona Mosier, Ananya Natarajan, Talya Phillips, Adelaide Poppleton, Graycen Schwartz, Caroline Shefcheck, and Karlie Williams!

Best day of the week is when we get to recognize SYSA players for their Love of the Game! ⚽️

This week is extra special because we have TWO players from the GU11 pool who earned the award.

Caroline Shefcheck and Mia Chiorian... you are both stars! 

Our coaches noted that Caroline is a quiet and steady team leader. This season she has developed confidence and composure on the ball and now gets her head up and finds a teammate to blast the ball to. She is the anchor of our team's defense but has been willing to try new positions. She is joyful and funny and a great teammate for everyone!

Mia is the consummate team player and hard worker. She is flexible with trying new positions and techniques, and she is determined to master them all. She's a dependable and supportive team member who runs every lap, completes every drill, and competes in every game with a smile. On top of that, she is grateful and kind and a wonderful friend.

We are so very lucky to have both these fantastic young ladies on our team!!

Congratulations Caroline and Mia!!!⚽️
