VMSA Outdoor Soccer Season Kicks Off

Vegreville Minor Soccer Association (VMSA) soccer players took to the RJV Soccer Field to practice, have games with the local teams together, as well as, play a home game with Vegreville Thunder U13 Boys versus Bonnyville U13 Boys where they had a tied score of 3-3 on May 10.
Coach for Vegreville Thunder U13 Boys Stephanie MacComish explained about their May 15 Game versus the Vermilion U13 Boys. “Our game ended in a win 12-4! The Vermilion team was short-handed with only one sub so most of their team played the entire game on a hot evening with only short breaks, where we had five subs and were able to give everyone on the team breaks. But both teams played great!
I was so impressed with our team’s ability to pass the ball to make some great plays up to the net with some good goals to reward their efforts! They looked like a team out there! And our goalie, Eamon Dixon, made some amazing saves! I think we will have a fun season of developing their skills even more and I really enjoy coaching them.”
Coach for Vegreville Thunder U17 Girls Rory Sperling commented on the May 11 Game versus the Bonnyville U17 Girls, “We lost 8-1. We have 18 girls on our team this year ranging in age from 14 to 17 years. Our vision this year is to simply improve week to week and be competitive with any team we play against.”
