The History of East Wake Soccer
The East Wake Soccer Association is a non-profit organization organized and existing under the Non-Profit Corporation Act of General Statutes of North Carolina. Articles of Incorporation were filed in the office of the Secretary of the State of North Carolina on the 5th day of May, 1981, setting forth the name of this corporation to be the Knightdale Soccer League.
On June 1st, 1999, the Knightdale Soccer League merged with the Wendell Parks and Recreation Soccer League to form the East Wake Soccer Association, commonly referred to as EWSA.
The purpose of the Association is to provide a program of soccer recreation for the children of Knightdale, Wendell, and the surrounding areas. "Children playing soccer" is the most important goal of the Association. Fulfillment of these goals is to be brought about by setting an atmosphere of sportsmanship in which learning and playing soccer are held foremost. Anything that distracts from this atmosphere is discouraged (please refer to the "Zero Tolerance Policy" menu above).
The Association provides soccer for children from the ages of four to fourteen. We currently have approximately 500 children divided into 58 teams playing soccer.
The Board is always open to suggestions for the improvement of this league. Please feel free to contact any of our board members with suggestions or questions (refer to the "EWSA Board Members" menu above).
Thank you,
EWSA Board of Directors

U10 EWSA Explosion WHITE Division CHAMPIONS - 2009 ChallengeFest Tournament
CONGRATULATIONS
U10 EWSA EXPLOSION G
2009 ChallebgeFest Tournament
CHAMPIONS
U10 GIRLS WHITE DIVISION
The EWSA ’99 Explosion Girls competed in the Triad ChallengeFest October 10 and 11, 2009 in Winston-Salem. The team won the tournament championship with a 4-0 record. The Explosion outscored their opponents 33-3 in the 4 games and received overwhelming praise from opposing coaches and fans.
In the 1st game on Saturday, EWSA defeated CASL WF United Blue 9-1. Saturday afternoon saw the Explosion race to an 11-0 victory over the Yadkinville SWAT. On Sunday morning, the Explosion defeated the NDSL Sidekicks 10-0. Sunday afternoon’s championship game featured an exciting match between EWSA and the Jamestown Jammers Gold.
The Jammers surprised the Explosion and took a 2-0 lead into halftime. However, the Explosion responded to the challenge and scored three goals in the 2nd half to claim a 3-2 victory. Coach Futrell called the 2nd half some of the most exciting soccer he had ever seen. “Our defense completely shut them down and did not allow a single 2nd half shot. Our offense put on an equally amazing performance with a barrage of scoring opportunities. The final goal came off a rebounded corner kick in the last minute. I think my heart
is still pounding!”
Explosion coaches, Jeff Futrell and Stephen Taylor were particularly pleased with the fact that over 70% of their goals were assisted. Coach Taylor said, “We emphasize passing and try to stress to our girls that assists are just as important as goals.” Offensive production was spread across the board as follows: Anna Grace Abrams had 6 goals and 8 assists, Essence Canady had 7 goals and 3 assists, Mikayla Atkinson had 7 goals and 1 assist, Anne Elliott Taylor had 3 goals and 5 assists, Emilee Futrell had 3 goals and 3 assists, Anna Reese Vick had 2 goals and 2 assists, Reily Nelson had 2 goals and 1 assist, Gabbi Lyons had 2 goals, and Bailey Hardison had 1 goal and 1 assist.
Coaches Taylor and Futrell also praised the defensive efforts of Nelson, Hardison, and Futrell. In the goal, Anna Shaye Thompson, recorded two shutouts and allowed only three goals in the entire tournament while carding a total of 12 saves.
