Soccer Coach Needs Your Help!!

 

Wasatch Soccer Club is having a fundraiser to help pay the expenses for Danny Rennie who is scheduled to have surgery for a cervical disc which is pressing on his spinal cord.

 

Danny has been a friend to the soccer community for years. At this time of year it would be nice to give a little back to Danny for all he has done for the Utah soccer community.

We will be having a day of friendly indoor matches on December 31st New Years Eve starting at 7 AM at the Ultimate Indoor Soccer Facility (They are providing the fields at no cost).  The format will be indoor rules.  We will keep each team who signs up intact.  The number of games each team plays will depend on the number of teams that sign up and how we are able to do round robin play.  If you want to participate please call or email Terri Mills at 451-0194 or 856-3462.  Her email is refs4u@live.com. 

 

Please let us know ASAP if you want to sign up so we can let participating team know the schedule for the day.  Last day to sign up is December 26th.

We are asking each player and coach to contribute a minimum of $10.
