It's Friday and time for our Coach Story of the Week! This week's anecdote came from Coach Michael Hawrylak. Thank you, Coach Michael, for all that you do!
"The Tuesday night mini and classic groups at Grace United Methodist Church wrapped up their spring sessions on May 21st. I had the pleasure of taking on these groups and they were outstanding. Their skills developed tremendously over the course of these sessions and all the players were very involved and ready to learn. From my first lesson with them and all the way to their last session they worked incredibly hard and never gave up. On our last day they went through Coach Mike’s obstacle course with flying colors. They received their certificates and medals and you could see the look of excitement and accomplishment on their faces!" ... See MoreSee Less
Soccer Shots Pittsburgh's summer "Celebrate the Cup" soccer camps are just around the corner!
Because 2019 is the year of the Women's World Cup, we'll spend some time throughout the camps highlighting female soccer players and leaders. While the material and camps are very much appropriate for both boys and girls, we wanted to bring this to everyone's attention in case it sparks some special interest for our female players!

"It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring, and yadda yadda yadda. Your kids have been trapped inside for days and are beginning to climb the walls — literally, you found one parkouring on the top of a doorframe. They’re jumping on the beds and building forts with the couch cushions, which is a cute memory, until they begin flopping on top of those cushions while another kid’s underneath it.
They’ve watched almost everything on Netflix, including Conan the Barbarian because it’s been raining for six days, and you stopped caring on day three. You’ve wondered if you might actually begin ripping your hair out. You’d go to the grocery store for entertainment, if you weren’t sure they’d climb the toilet paper shelves out of sheer, desperate, pent-up child energy.
Mama, there’s a simple solution to this madness: Let them play in the rain." :)
