KCW Juniors are Successful in Labor Day Tournament

Both of our younger teams participated in the Midwest Classic tournament that took place last weekend. The U13s played up in U14/15 age group and our U14/15s also played in this age group. It is important to note that our U14/15 team was composed of three players from the U13s and the remaining players were basically U14 players as the U15s are plying high school soccer right now.

Our U13s held their own with a 1-1-1 record and our U14/15s finished the tourney 4-0-0 winning the championship game 4-2 against BVSC Benfica. They also scored a tournament high of 9 goals. A big congrats to coach Edmond Rugova and his team.

Both teams will be in action this weekend with our U13s playing in Omaha Nebraska and our U14/15s playing here locally again.

U13s take to the FIELD

I "capped" FIELD because it wasn't any old field, it was the Seniors team's game field at CommunityAmerica Ballpark. Our U13s were the half-time entertainment on August 21st during the Wizards vs Revs match (Sorry for the delayed post). The boys played each other in an 8min exhibition match. Although the 8mins seemed liked 30 seconds to the boys, they all came off the field with huge smiles and a good sweat. The boys seemed over joyed to have this opportunity and we of course were happy to show them off. This is one good team!

Our U15/14s were also in action that weekend against FC Porto of KS. We won the match 7-1 and was a good way to start the season. The U15/14s have about half the players playing HS ball and the other half playing with the Juniors in the Heartland League. In the Spring we will play MRL.

Both the U13s and U15/14s will be in action this Labor Day weekend playing in the Midwest Classic Tournament. All games will be played at the Overland Park soccer Complex and schedules can be found here for both teams.
