NEW! MSA  Soccer Camp We are pleased to host the MSA for a youth soccer camp July 20th - 24th Warrendale Field Scholarships (child plays for free)will be offered to families that HOST A COACH

Midwest Soccer Academy “The Dutch Touch”  Midwest Soccer Academy has been coaching the youth of America for the past 35 years. MSA coaches work with children from 4 – 18 years old and are hired from all over EUROPE because of their coaching expertise, personality and the energy they bring to camp. MSA’s age appropriate, innovative curriculum focuses on the technical aspects of the sport at the younger ages (through fun games), while at the same time challenging each child every single day. As the players get older the curriculum introduces more tactical aspects of the game using the famed Dutch Coaching Philosophy. Players are encouraged to be creative and play free-flowing attacking soccer. Additional information and online registration can be found by following the MSA link above

FIELD IMPROVEMENTS Your club is working hard for you!  After identifying much needed repairs and maintenance to many of the fields our club uses, several of our members have donated their time, talent, (and sore muscles) toward achieving this goal.  Many thanks to: Steve Lentz, Scott Maroncelli, Sal Marchionda, Rich Norwood, Joseph Scarelli, Khalil Alami (and his children - Nina and George), Mike Fuerst, Daniel Torres, Mike Horgan, Dan Root, Marcos Carmona, and Mario Parody.

Did You Know? All of our board members and coaches donate their time, energy, and knowledge to our club and the community?

Our board members and other volunteers have braved the cold on weekends out at Parr and the Boy Scout Shelter fields welding, sanding, and painting broken goal posts or constructing new ones, some of which were then relocated.  They also spent many hours clearing debris, aerating the fields, laying seed, fertilizer and dirt which were donated to the club by Wayne County.
       

These repairs are imperative for the safety of our children using these fields.  Normal wear and tear from games takes its toll.  Moreover, practices, and use by teams from other cities, adult soccer teams, football teams, kids wanting to cause damage on their bicycles are just a few of the examples of abuse our fields have suffered.

For this reason we ask that you not practice on any of these fields as they are all being treated in some manner, and need to be rested to be able to use during the fall this year or the spring next year.  The box at the top of the page lists the fields which have been closed. 

The DHSC pays for permits for these fields every year.  Copies of these permits can be found in the shed at Warrendale.  Since we "rent" the fields from the city and the county, we temporarily own them.  If you see anyone on these fields, please explain the circumstances and ask them to leave, or call one of the board members, the DH city police or Wayne County sheriff.  All are aware of the abuse, and have been asked to intervene in the past.

We will also be placing stickers on the newly repaired goal posts indicating they are the property of the DHSC, and are hoping to erect signs identifying the fields as our property by permit.

More volunteers are always needed.  Please contact any of the board members to indicate when you might be available.
