JV Soccer

Well the JV soccer season is almost over, it ends the end of October. Reese's team has won a few of their games; however, they dont have alot of goal scorers on the team, which doesnt help. Reese is playing defense and doing a great job. All the games have been close thanks to Reese playing a huge part in keeping the ball away from the net. He has scored a goal or two on defense also, he is turning into an all around versatile player. Once the JV season is done, Reese will begin playing with the Midland Fusion, the elite team he tried out and made this summer. They will be practising indoors until spring, at which time they will begin playing games and tournaments.

JV Soccer

Reese made the Heritage JV soccer team and is one of the captains. They were told that no freshman or sophomores would be on the varsity team, even though some of the younger kids were better than some of the juniors and seniors. It looks like the jv team is going to be pretty good and it is exciting that Reese is one of the captains. He will gain leadership skills and will lead by example, that is his personality. They have already begun practising and his first game is next week.

High School Soccer

Well Reese starts high school this fall and is in the process of trying out for his high school soccer team. He would like to play Varsity; however, he is only in the ninth grade so we will see how that goes. Tryouts are this week and the season starts next week already. His Midland Fusion travel team will now be in remission until after the high school season, which ends around November. Once high school is complete, the Fusion will begin practising indoors for the winter to prepare for spring.

Midland Fusion

Well Reese found out today he made the Midland Fusion, premier soccer team. Spoke to the coach this morning, he said Reese has alot of natural talent, just needs fine tuning positionally. Also found out he is a very coachable kid and that helps alot too. He talked about tournaments, four in-state, one out of state. Three times a week practises, starting as soon as high school soccer is over, around the end of October. In the meantime they will practise off and on over the summer also. This coach also coaches a U18 team of which four of his players already have college scholarships, so that is impressive. Things are finally starting to look up for Reese, even though he has only played soccer a couple of years. Once again natural talent gives him a hands up over other players.

This Past Season

Reese played travel soccer on a Saginaw team. He was one of the best players on the team and they looked to him to help score goals. Because the premier Vardar soccer did not field a U15 soccer team for the coming year, Reese tried out for the Midland Fusion, a premier team out of Midland. He did well at tryouts and now must wait to see if he made a spot on the team. He will find out in about two weeks.
