End of Season Review

by Feature Editor & News Writer of The Trinity Eagle [Edition 1, Issue 3 - Oct. '07]

Like every other soccer season around the globe, Trinity's Boy's soccer season has come to a close. Days of hard practicing and tough games have done their part to show onlookers that Trinity's soccer program is not playing around. Speaking with the coaches it is evident that this year has been a success. According to Coach Dick Hayley, the new soccer "field has been a blessing and sparked a lot of interest and caused growth" for the soccer program. Coach Jim Hester agrees, saying the new field has "been key" to "a lot of people getting involved [in the C-Teams and Junior Varsity team] and enjoying it." Indeed, with 90 players, this has been the "largest season by far," says Coach Hayley. Coach Hester states that this is a "great next step from where [we] were last year. The coaches have been really busy and a lot of time has been put into the program. The kids enjoy it and it is paying off."

What did some parents have to say about the 2007 experience? One mother said, "It's been wonderful. The atmosphere is so encouraging. It doesn't matter what team, the parents and coaches are encouraging. It has been a very positive experience." Coming to the C-Team games, it is a joy to see how enthusiastic the parents, players, and coaches are about playing their game. Another dad also says that having his sons play for Trinity has been a "very exciting experience. They do stress hard work which is good, and they seem to have fun doing it. They are learning a lot and seem to be improving. This is a new program, yet already seem[s] to be growing some talent here. It will be interesting to see what the program is like a few years from now, especially with new kids coming through the program."
