Ashburn Wolves: Welcome
|
 |
The ASC Wolves are comprised of fourteen players (seven from eastern Loudoun County and seven from western Fairfax County). The team competes in the Washington Area Girls Soccer League for the Ashburn Soccer Club.
The Wolves are coached by Rick Bender, who played varsity soccer for the University of Delaware and who has coached many successful girls teams (from ages 8 to 18) at the recreational, All Star, and travel levels (including Division 1 ODSL and Division 2 WAGS teams). Andy Adams serves as the assistant coach. Coach Rick has no daughters on the team (his two daughters are now young adults), and he coaches the team on a voluntary basis because he enjoys teaching girls how to play soccer (and watching them do that successfully). Coach Rick has high expectations for the girls and constantly challenges them to play their best in both practices and games.
The ASC Wolves have experienced a lot of success since they were formed in 2006. Their overall record is listed in the table:
|
Games (Through Spring, 2009) |
75 |
| W-L-T | 52-14-9 |
| % Won or Tied | 81% |
| Goals For | 217 |
| Goals Against | 55 |
| Goal Ratio | 3.9:1 |
The girls have been working hard to learn more about the game of soccer, improve their individual skills, and play together as a team, both offensively and defensively. Coach Rick and the parents are very proud of the girls' progress to date, and look forward to even better things in the seasons to come.
During the fall and spring seasons, the team practices twice a week and plays games on Saturdays and Sundays. The team also competes in two tournaments each season and plays in an indoor soccer league at the Dulles Sportsplex during the winter. Please see the "Calendar" link on this page for our schedule.
The Wolves have been fortunate to have several sponsors, whose financial support has been very helpful to the team in paying expenses for uniforms, tournaments, etc. Please see the "Sponsors" link on this page for a list of those sponsors. Additional sponsors are welcomed at any time. Click here to learn how to become a sponsor.
Any questions regarding the team should be emailed to Coach Rick Bender. Call the Ashburn Soccer Club Hotline at 703-729-7050 or the Loudoun County Field Cancellation Hotline at 703-777-0456 for information on field closings.
In their 8th game of the fall season, and playing in 40 degree weather, the Wolves clinched the WAGS division X title with a 4-0 victory over Loudoun White.
