North Port Youth Soccer

The North Port U9 Blaze Comp Team completed a great year of soccer recently when they were eliminated from Region C tournament play after advancing to the second round. It was a tremendous year of learning for the kids and the more they played together, you could tell of the special nucleus that was being built for years to come. "Our accomplishments were terrific and we are very proud of our players", says Coach Dave McKinley. "Selecting theses players from a try-out process and from our recreational division at an early age and giving them advanced training was key. Where we were when we started a year ago and now is amazing.You can tell that soccer is in their hearts and they love the game". Special thanks to a great group of coaches, Jose Fajardo, Rigo Menendez and specialized training by Gerard Gregoire and our commited parents who showed their team colors every week to make the sidelines very loud and supportive.

The U9 Comp team recently enetered into the Venice Sharkstooth Classic 3v3 Tournament.
