The Academy would like to recognize the efforts of Jovany Gorrell and Emma Moughler in helping out and making a difference in their community.  Jovany noticed in the newspaper that Evans Trucking in Butler was collecting items to send to Alabama to assist tornado victims. Jovany and Emma decided to go around the neighborhood where they live and collect food items to help out.  The neighbors were very willing and also Evans Trucking were very thankful for the items donated.

The All Star Soccer Academy and Rangers PFC have partnered with the Fort Wayne Komets to hold a Club Night with the Komets.  On February 13th at 5:00 pm our Club will be featured at the Komets vs. Evansville match.  We would like all academy and rangers players and parents to wear their club jackets / shirts to show our club spirit for the game. 

Tickets will be $8.00 per person and a portion of these funds will be returned to the club and utilized by the Rangers U14 team for their trip to Scotland this summer. 

Parents, Players, and Coaches Below you will find attachments for the Winter 1 Academy game schedule and the roster with team assignments. The attachments will be at the bottom of the news story in .pdf format. Please be reminded to have your child wear the color of tee shirt denoted on the schedule, but also bring along the other tee shirt just in case! If you have not received either a white or an orange Academy tee shirt yet, be sure to email me with the size and color you need.

We will soon be closing our sign ups for the indoor soccer session.  The winter sessions are considered some of the best training for the kids for the entire year. This is when we focus on their individual skills development and building confidence with the ball.  You may notice some of the kids making special moves on the field and coming up with some creative plays.  The indoor session is when they learn and practice these skills to make them better outdoor players.  If you have not signed up yet, please do so.
