News for the Week of April 29, 2013

Program Notes for the Week of 4/29/2013:

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:
With the Avon Lake school levy coming up in about 10 days, I found a couple of videos endorsing the levy featuring some people connected to our program. One has former Academic All-American player Trisha Wladecki and the other has incoming freshman mom Julie Norris.
