This is long, long over due. The soccer system is woefully inadequate to support the development of players and coaches moving into HS soccer. Since 2005 the HS has had only two winning seasons. Soccer was established in Littlestown in 1924 and subsequently ended in 1937 when the Football program began. It didn't begin again until 2005. Besides all coaches being inadequately paid in Littlestown, highly trained and qualified coaches do not want to coach here because there is no system below the HS level to support player and coaching growth and development. That translates to many non-winning seasons, average or lower players and poorly trained coaches who are able to compete at the HS level.

The only school in the county without a middle school team. Why are we behind the other districts in doing this? We have so many children in this community playing through AYSO and other clubs. We need to help grow and foster our high school program by adding this program.

I grew up playing soccer. It's the number one sport in the world. It's minimally gear intensive and inclusive of both sexes. It's time L town had soccer for its kids.

Littlestown SD needs to catch up with the rest of the world, schools also all need to have air conditioning.

It's very important to have a middle school soccer team to prepare the players for the Varsity team in a high school

There are 32 kids signed up for U14 soccer and 26 signed up for U12 soccer at the Littlestown AYSO this Spring. That doesn't factor in competing soccer leagues. There's no question the kids want to play.
