News You Can Use - Web-based Training Designed to Improve Soccer Skills
Last Changed 2012-01-20
attention players
EA SPORTS in association with US Soccer produced some interactive web-based training designed to help players improve their skills. Although the program is designed for younger players, it covers are the same skills that we need work to improve from a technical standpoint. Since it’s animated, it kind of fun to watch. And it’s free!
The benefit of this web-based training is that players can watch it on their own time, at their own pace, and at any time… even when it's raining outsidde. This gives players an opportunity to review a skill a few times until it’s really clear in their mind. Then the next time they come to train, they will be better prepared to perform the skill in a live setting.

Enjoy and good luck at try outs !

Duluth Soccer begins the year with a new Treasurer
Last Changed 2012-01-05
Hello everyone,
I am pleased to announce that Mike Miller will be assuming the role of Treasurer for the Duluth High School Soccer Booster Club, Inc. effective immediately.
Mike Coulombe has already begun to help with the transition by helping Mike Miller become oriented to his new role and continue in a supporting role throughout the 2012 season.
We are very fortunate to have the outgoing Treasurer and incoming Treasurer work closely together for an entire season. It’s also ironic that both men are coincidently named “Mike.” All this contributes to operational continuity, reduced pressure on the incoming officer, and what I am confident will be a very smooth transition.
Please join me in congratulating Mike Miller as he steps into his role as Treasurer, which is critical to the operation of any successful club. Also, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mike Coulombe for his untiring service to Duluth Soccer over the years.
see you on the pitch,
Dean Starovasnik, President
