Congratulations to the U11 boys team for an outstanding season and year overall. They play for the Cedar Area Select Soccer Association (CASSA), a local travel soccer club based in Cedar Springs. They competed in the Grand Valley Soccer Association (GVSA), which covers the greater Grand Rapids area, and they traveled from Middleville to as far north as Ludington. The team was a blend of four different school districts, with boys from Greenville, Cedar Springs, Sparta and Tri-County. Many of these boys were playing up an age group, which meant that in most cases they were playing against competition that was one to two years older than them.

The team is Front L-R Derek Egan, Mason Miller, Ryan Dreyer, Aidan Walker, Eli Paulen, Luke Doyle, Joey Kolenda. Back Row L-R Coach Dreyer, Jett Elerick, Brayden Marvel, Jared Hause, Dallas Mora, Brison Ricker, Jose Mosqueda , Coach Ricker.

They faced a tough, challenging year and rose to the challenge. They had an overall record of 11 wins 1 loss and 4 ties, for both the fall and spring season, which including winning their division outright in the Spring 2011 season. Many of these boys had not played together prior to last fall. They tallied 79 goals while giving up 32. This team experienced tremendous improvement in not only individual technical skills, but learned how to play as an outstanding unit.  Great TEAM effort boys!
