Good Day to All,

The spring soccer season has come to a close with great success for all involved. As we walked and talked with folks on the fields Saturday there was a bittersweet tone to many comments. All were happy with the great spring weather and exceptional play among the teams, many positive comments about our field conditions but sadness to see it coming to an end. We are so blessed to have so many parents, fans, coaches and players participating with Lake Country Soccer year round and we look forward to seeing all at the next session.

We had many league champions proudly walking the fields with their medals of accomplishment on Saturday and we captured many pictures of the day. We will get those posted on the website shortly.

Our next big event is The Missouri State Cup, June 9-14^th hosted here at Lake Country in Springfield. We will have almost 200 teams from around the state participating with several from the Springfield area. There will be nearly 300 games played over 5 days so we ask that you come out and see the level of talent from around the state. We will have between 8,000- 10,000 folks at this event so pay attention to the websites for dates, times and traffic patterns around Lake Country.

We thank all for you sportsmanship, support and passion for the game. Soccer is more than just about the players…without the commitment and efforts of parents, coaches and fans the players are left to kick the ball in their yard and don’t get to experience the full breadth and depth of the largest sport on the planet…SOCCER!

We look forward to seeing you on “The Pitch” again soon!

Be Well,

Bill Garoutte
