The coaching staff strongly encourages all returning players and prospects to play soccer this spring in preparation for the upcoming 2010 season. The Westport Soccer Association offers a travel program for high school players with tryouts on January 24 from 11am-12pm at Bedford Middle School; more information is available at the WSA website. Coach Scott and his assistants want to stress that the more time the players spend playing together in the spring, the stronger the team will be in the fall.

The coaching staff would like to congratulate Jaclyn Katz, Kelly Bohling, and Shannon Moss on being selected as Captains for the 2010 Staples Varsity Soccer Team.  We all look forward to a great season and know you will show the dedication, integrity, spirit, and energy that our past captains have set as the standard.  So, congratulations ladies and lets start working hard now to build up for a great season in 2010.
