"Soccer is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated. It satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening. It is without doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented."

Our girls put together a great season and headed to the league tournament with a positive attitude. After finishing the season with a 7-0-1 record, the leauge moved the girls up a level for the tournament. The girls played with a lot of heart and determination. They won all three of their games leading up to the championship game with CESA.
CESA’s Team 1 proved to be a tough compeditor by opening with a 2-0 lead in the first half. The Lion’s were frustraited at half time, but Coach McGee got the girls focused for the second half. The girls played hard for the next 30 minutes and were rewarded with a 3-2 victory. What a cap to an awesome season.
After 4 seasons of being the bride's maid, the girls are finally league Champions!
CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS!!!

Friends, Music & Soccer, Soccer, Soccer…
Our annual 3v3 Tournament had another good turn out this year. Along with tunes filling the air (thanks to DJ and Coach Heath Wolfe) and numerous prizes given out, there was a lot of soccer. We hope everyone had a great time.
We would like to thank that many coach and parent volunteers that helped make this tournament a success. We'd also like to give a special thanks to Ed Schaffner for donating the t-shirts, hats and gift certificates. Thanks again, Ed!
Finally, congratulations to the winners of this year’s event. See their team pictures below...

Local soccer player and 5th grade Liberty Union middle school student Jake Raymond (pictured lower left) along with his Flash Elite U11 soccer team took first place in the U11 division of the 2009 Adidas Turf Classic. The tournament was held on the turf sports fields at Walnut Hill High School in Cincinnati Ohio. The team won their games against the opponents from Carmel Indiana, Dublin Oh, and Wilder Kentucky giving up only 2 goals and scoring 18 goals against their opponents in 4 games.
Jake began his career in soccer at age 4 playing for the Liberty Union Youth Soccer Association (LUYSA). Just turning 11 Jake has returned this season to play on the U15 travel team for LUYSA as one of the youngest players ever on the team as well as maintaining his starting position on the Flash team.

The Columbus Crew came to Baltimore to visit with the LUYSA kids. Players: Danny O'Rourke, Ryan Miller, Brian Plotkin; the Crew's Technical Director Brian Bliss and the Crew Cat himself put on a clinic for the kids.
The kids were divided by age and sent to one of four stations. Each station had a different game and was run by a one of the Crew members. The kids rotated through each station and got to spend a little time with each of the Crew.
Afterward, the players spent time to sign autographs and pose for pictures, before heading back to Columbus. Everyone, had a great time.
Be sure to check out the pictures in the Photo Album.
We would like to thank the Columbus Crew for a great evening.

LUYSA – Joe Schappa Spirit Award Recipients
On July 30th the Liberty Union Youth Soccer Association (LUYSA) in Baltimore met to give out the Joe Schappa Spirit Award. This award is given following the spring season to both a boy and girl that will be leaving the U-12 age division and has shown a consistent, positive attitude in our recreational association. Players are nominated by their coaches and selected by the board. The 2008 recipients are Maddy Shook and Drew Winchell.
As well, this upcoming season marks the 30th year for LUYSA! Joe Schappa – of which the above award is named after – brought soccer to the Baltimore community, beginning both the youth and high school programs. Joe remains connected to the association, still serving on the LUYSA board. If you have a chance this fall, make a trip to Alt Park on a Saturday morning to watch children ranging in age from 2 – 14 having fun playing the game of soccer! This article will soon be in the Town Crier publication.
Congratulations to Maddy Shook and Drew Winchell!

Member organizations are the most elite in the state and being recognized, as a peer to those organizations is a great asset to our organization. Getting to this point has been a combined effort of the current board members and all of the coaches for their hard work in making this league what it is today.
