News for the Week of June 6, 2011

Program Notes for the Week of 6/6/11:

Calendar:
School's Out!!! Great news for students and teachers - probably not as great news for parents.  Most players are finishing up their travel & club seasons and/or practicing for the Father's Day tournament, so this week is open on the schedule.  The NOGSL summer league will be starting this coming Sunday, so check the schedules that have been sent out by the coaches.

Shorepals Meeting:
The next Shorepals meeting will be held on Thursday June 9, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. at the Old Firehouse at the corner of Lake Rd. and Rt. 83. This will be an important meeting as we make our final preparations for the Father's Day weekend.

Alumni Game & Picnic:
Everyone and especially Alumni mark your calendar for Sunday July 10th.  This will be the date of our annual Alumni game & picnic at Walker Rd. park.  More details and specific times will follow.

Soccer Site of the Week:
After the Women's World Cup is over in mid July - then what?   Well, most of the top women's players in the world play in the Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) league.  The six team league plays an 18 game schedule which runs from April to August.   There is a national game of the week which is televised on the Fox Soccer Channel generally on Sundays at 6:00 p.m. The closest club to us is the Western New York Flash which are based out of Rochester, NY and just happen to be in first place currently.  To find more information on the league, visit:
