End of the Year Party, Awards!

The Middle Division Girls Soccer team completed one of its most successful seasons in many years with an 8-7-1 record and a pizza and awards party at Dal'italia Ristorante.

There was little surprise in the girls' choice for Most Valuable Player this year, with the award going in a runaway to sixth grade playmaker Sophie W., who led the team in goals and assists.

The Most Improved Player vote generated much more drama, with so many girls earning recognition from their teammates. In a close field, however, Sydney B. ultimately took home the plaque.

In a season when so many girls improved their skills dramatically in just three months, there were also many contenders for the Coaches Award, which went to Katie J. in recognition of her consistency and excellence in goal and willingness to step in anywhere on the field she could help.

Coaches Bob Andelman and John Hutton wish to express their appreciation to all 22 girls on the team for their hard work all season, to their parents for their support, and to Nikki McQueen for being team parent, Denise Mills for organizing the team party and Stacy Brandenburg for arranging a community service event in which the girls made homemade Valentine's Day roses for children at Ronald McDonald House at All Childrens Hospital in St. Petersburg.

Katie J. was honored with the Coaches Award!

Community Service Day @ Christmas Toy Shop (Dec. 5, 2009)

A dozen players from the Shorecrest Preparatory School's Gold Girls Soccer team (plus one of the girl's friends and two parents) gave up their Saturday afternoon on December 5, 2009, to welcome clients to the non-profit Christmas Toy Shop (550 16th Street North, St. Petersburg, Fl, 33705 (727) 898-3962 ToyShopElf@Juno.com) and help them select toys for their children.

It was a great experience for all to get in the holiday spirit!

(Thanks to Bailee's mom, Nikki, for the great photos!)
