Competetive Soccer in Far Southwest Missouri

I recently attended the Neosho-Seneca football game. I was disappointed with the Neosho fans because when the Cats’ were struggling they were blaming the refs and when a Neosho defender pushed an Indian receiver 10 yards out of bounds into a chain link fence, only one gentleman behind me criricized the unsportsmanship of our defender.  It is my opinion that if we blame the ref or say the other team cheated we excuse our players from working harder when they struggle. If we appreciate the other teams good play it shows our team their is a higher level of play we are trying to attain, and gives them something to work toward.  I want to be a class organization that wins with skill and not loses because we have an excuse to.

No practice tonight. Our next practice will be Thursday at 6:oo at the YMCA.

The league in Joplin begins on Saturday September 12th. If you are interested in playing contact me immediately. My number is 417-592-3589. I must have 10 committed by Thursday August 20th or we won’t sign up.

Great job all players that have competed in the tournements the last two weekends. I have seen a steady improvement in our knowledge of the game. Our passing and ball handling has been alot better. Continue the hard work in practice and the effort in the games.
