History This is a girls select soccer team from St. Louis, Missouri. Established in 2009, this team began with the idea of uniting talented players who reside in the Webster Groves community. Now in its 5th year, the team has developed into a program that unites talented players from the entire St. Louis metropolitan area.Mission The team's mission is to develop skillful, creative and confident soccer players who have a passion for the game. This includes developing all four components of the modern soccer player's game: technical, tactical, pyschological and physical aspects. In doing so, the team serves to develop other positive qualities such as teamwork, discipline and sportsmanship.

College Recruiting The program seeks to find ways for players who want to reach the next level to be exposed to college coaches through games, tournaments and college showcases. College soccer recruiting expert, Tim Twellman, gave the team parents a seminiar outlining the important steps the players should be taking.

Many of the players are multi-sport athletes and participate in other high school sports (volleyball, tennis, softball, cross country, field hockey, swimming, and basketball) which helps round-out the players' overall athletic coordination, confidence, and ability. Social The players and families have shared off-the-field activities together including enjoying food, drinks and celebrations at our sponsor's establishment (Llywelyn's Pub) located in Webster Groves, Missouri. Along the way, the girls are developing soccer skills, friendships and memories that last a lifetime. |
