News Update for 9-11 year olds

Charlestown's coach called me today to tell me that they are NOT going to make it to Thursday's game. But we'll go ahead and have a practice and scrimmage instead. So please come to Gilsum on Thursday, 10/29, at 5:30pm for PRACTICE. And check out this pic of Asst. Coach Chris Papallo from last Saturday's game!

News Update for 7-8 year olds

Wondering where the soccer field is in Alstead...its across the street from the General Store in downtown Alstead. If you can see the store, though, you might have passed it.
