A New Season Begins

The 2013 LM Aces boy's soccer team started pre-season practice 9 days ago and the young squad is waiting anxiously for their 1st scrimmage (I'm sure that brings back memories for all of our LM soccer alumni). That scrimmage will come this Thursday at Cardinal O'Hara H. S. at 10 AM, followed by their other scrimmage next Monday at LM against West Chester Rustin (also at 10 AM).

As you'll notice I've posted the 2013 schedule here on the blog, which features only 1 lone night game on Tuesday, September 10th, at Radnor (7 PM). Hope to see some of our LM soccer alumni from the area in attendance.

Beginning with this post I will be back to posting several times each week, giving you game highlites & results, standings, as well as features on past alumni and info on our LM Soccer Alumni activities.

Speaking of which, our LM Soccer Alumni Weekend begins just 4 weeks from this Friday (September 20th), with the Steve Fountain Golf Event & LM Soccer Alumni Dinner (for which many of you have already signed up). If you haven't, and are interested in joining us, you can sign up right on our LM Soccer Alumni website at: www.lmsocceralum.org., or email me for more details.

On Saturday, September 21st, we will be having our annual LM Soccer "Alumni Game" against a Radnor High School soccer alumni team. We will be playing on the grass field at Arnold Field at 10:00 AM. We can certainly use more players so let me know if you're interested, and spread the word around. Every LM soccer alumni, and members of their family, in attendance will get lunch after the game (right on the field) courtesy of the LMSAA (Lower Merion Soccer Alumni Association.

Please email me if you plan on playing, along with a count of how many family members will be with you, so we can plan the number of lunches accordingly.

Come on out and help "keep the tradition alive".
