The Jim Niebes Memorial 5K Run:
Wanted to pass along some news involving two former players in the Shoregal program - sisters Shannon & Erin Niebes. Shannon was a member of the first two Shoregal teams in 1993 & 1994 and her sister Erin was a four year Varsity player from 1995 -1998 and is still ranked amongst the all time leaders in goals, assists, & points scored. Sadly, this story involves the death of their father Jim Niebes from kidney cancer in Sept. of 2012. However, as you will read in the attached article, they have been holding a 5K race in his honor in Avon Lake since 2010 with the proceeds benefitting the Kidney Cancer Assn. This year's race is on Sat. May 11th at Weiss field.

Alumni Game:
We want to give our Alumni plenty of time to make plans, so we are going to announce that our annual Alumni Reunion game & Picnic will be held this year on Sat. July 13, 2013. We are going to try something new with the location this year and move it over to the ALHS stadium field. Many of our Alumni have not seen or played on the new artificial turf and renovated stadium. Game will start around 4:00 p.m. with the picnic at 5:30 p.m. Hope to see you there!
Soccer Camp:
We are going to add something new for this summer - both the boys and the girls teams will be holding a joint youth soccer camp. The camp will be primarily targeted towards players in the ALSO system and, of course, players from other communities would be welcome also. The dates will be 7/29 -7/31 and will run from 8 - 11 am. More details to come.
Video of the Week:
We are going to continue with videos from the past season and this week we are going to feature our first JV game video. The game was against Sylvania Northview and after a back and forth battle, the Shoregals came out on top by a score of 3-2. Goals were scored by Elise Duvall on a 35 yd free kick at the 2:45 mark of Part 2, Kayla Kress at the 3:50 mark of Part 2, and the game winner by Maggie Moore at the 16:40 mark of Part 3.
