Clara Heldt – U16G Gray

• A girl who had a base layer of soccer talent both technically and tactically, but lacked a lot of confidence. Attended every one of the Winter Session II practices and has transformed in to a real asset of the team who can be relied up on in the defensive third. Mainly a developmental role player when she first joined the team, but now has the potential to push on and cement a place in the first eleven.

-Coach Josh Oldroyd

Regan Mundy – U16G White

•Regan has an high work rate and she soaks up coaching instruction like a sponge. Regan can play many positions on the field as she is both a good defensive and offensive player. Regan is one of those players that will run through a brick wall if it will help the team to win the game, but most importantly Regan has established great sportsmanship to opposing players. It is a pleasure to be able to coach such a wonderful person/player.
