Watching professional soocer games contributes to the development of soccer youth.  NASA has partnered with the New England Revolution to promote soccer and create opportunities for NASA players to attend professional soccer games.  NASA is planning a fall night at the Revs.  This game is on Saturday, September 25 at 7:30 PM.  The Revs play the Seattle Sounders FC.  NASA can offer tickets for only $21 (regularly price is $30).  And parking is both close to Gillette stadium and free.  Contact Steve Dukich at boystravel@nasoocer.com to reserve your tickets.

North Andover soccer teams performed beyond expectations this spring.  Out of 24 travel teams, we sent 11 to the Essex County playoffs.  Five of the 11 went on to play in the Massachusetts Tournament of Champions (MTOC).  We are proud to have the Red Hot Chilis go all the way to become the state champions.  We are also very proud of the performance of the other four teams.  MTOC is very challenging; the "best of the best" play.   Look at the scores - most are very close games.  All our teams performed with respectable results.  

Red Hot Chilis: Girls U16, coached by Jen Houlihan, Jim Killilea and Camille Maren. Won the State Championship!

Beat Bellingham  2-0, beat Abington 1-0, beat Wilmington 4-0, beat Whitman 2-1 in the semifinal, and in the final, beat Mariner 2-0.
