NSCCL Tournament Finals Wrap Up Spring 2019 Season!

Another successful 2019 season brought to a close with a beautiful Saturday morning for our NSC Champions League Finals. With kickoff for the Boys U10 & U12 divisions set for 9:00am, DeFazio Park was alive with anticipation and excitement bright and early as parents, players, coaches, friends and family eagerly prepared for the first whistle.

The boys set the tone early for the day with lots of goals scored, saves made, close games, overtime drama and most importantly good sportsmanship by both the winning and loosing teams!

The girls were up next as their games kicked off just after 10am and did not disappoint as every game was decided by just 1 goal! Coaches and players both showed extreme class and grace in the heat of the competition and did their best to make the day a positive experience no matter the result.

While there can only be one winner in each division we are proud of how all of our players and coaches handled themselves in both victory and defeat during this entire playoff run. It’s great to see so much passion and emotion for the game being displayed over the course of these final weeks as our teams put a years worth of work into these games!

As Director of Player and Coach Development Lee Popper put it ” Our regular season NSCCL games, NSCCL All-Star game that was added to the end of the Spring season and this tournament shows first hand the level of growth in our players and coaches and has provided a very competitive experience for everyone to challenge themselves and take pride in their efforts and accomplishments over the past year.”

A Big THANK YOU to all of our amazing coaches, volunteers and parents who helped us make all of this possible for our community!! We hope everyone has a fun and relaxing summer with families and we look forward to seeing everyone out on the fields again come September!!
