In order to prepare a group for entry into the Elite Clubs national League for 2010-2011, Freestate Soccer Alliance will start a new rising U-14 girls team for players born on or after August 1, 1995. The team will be coached by Win Puffer, coach of the U-19 Freestate Shooters and head coach of the Washington Freedom “W” League. The team will play in WAGS D1 and tournaments in the Fall of 2009 and enter into league and tournament play in Winter and Spring 2010.

For those interested in more information on the team, please contact Steve Campbell totalsoc@aol.com, Pat Noel noelsoc@aol.com or email Win Puffer at win.puffer@washingtonfreedom.com.
Supplement tryouts will be ongoing throughout the summer at regular practice time. Please contact Win to arrange a tryout.
