St. Peter, Tri-City United and Le Sueur-Henderson have youth soccer leagues.

St. Peter and LSH have soccer clubs and recreational and com-petitive traveling leagues in the Minnesota Youth Soccer Associa-tion. TCU has only recreational leagues.

St. Peter SoccerCompetitive leagues are al-

ready in full swing with 12 teams from St. Peter in the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association from U10 to U17, but St. Peter Soccer Club o� ers these in-house recre-ational leagues in a partnership with St. Peter Recreation and Lei-sure Department.

Summer Soccer Ages 4-10Ages 4-69 to 10 a.m. Monday-� urs-

day, July 21-24 at Gorman Park, $20 resident/$26 non residents

Ages 7-1010:15 to 11:15 a.m. Monday

through � ursday, July 21-24 at Gorman Park

Small teams let players ac-tively participate in the game al-lowing them to learn more skills and fundamentals. New teams formed each day to allow players the chance to play with everyone.

The in-house recreational league is primarily for kids aged 4-8 years old, but there are of-ten players older than these ages who want to build skills or are not ready/willing to enter the com-petitive atmosphere. With the 4-6 year olds, they concentrate on just touching the ball, having fun and getting them used to the

game. � ey utilize older players and team coaches, as well as many parent volunteers to coach the kids. At age 7-8, they form teams based on the numbers and then do much of the same as the 4-6 year olds, getting them used to the game, etc. but they add semi-for-mal games against other in-house teams. By the time the 8 year olds are done with this season, most are mentally and physically ready to play in the traveling competi-tive leagues.

Competitive league players age 9-12 are asked to play in a travel-ing competitive league through

the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association (MYSA). � ere are multiple competitive levels, but St. Peter always enters teams in the division for beginning play-ers. Depending on the number of registrants, St. Peter forms teams for league play. Usually St. Peter end up with two to three Under 10 and two Under 12 teams. St. Peter does separate the girls from the boys at these age levels when possible, but will form coed teams to play in the boys league if num-bers don’t work out right. Play at these levels is concentrated on skill development. Playing time

is equivalent over the season and players will be asked to play all the positions, even goalie. Play began April 28 and concludes at the state tournament on July 27.

The St. Peter Soccer Club is a 501c3 Non-Pro� t organization serving more than 300 players in recreational or competitive leagues. � e club is supervised by a board of directors who are all dedicated parent and non-parent volunteers. � ey o� er opportuni-ties for kids in the St. Peter area to learn and play the game starting at age 4 all the way through age 19. � ey practice and play at Gault

Park, Gustavus Adolphus College, Scholarship America and at Vets Park where they have installed turf on the upper hockey rink.

In 2013 St. Peter had two state champion teams as the U12 Boys and the U17 Girls both won their division titles. Several teams have been promoted to the next com-petitive level to be sure they are competing against equivalent teams.

On June 26, Jakes Stadium Pizza in St. Peter will be host-ing a World Cup viewing party at 11 a.m. Buffet Lunch will be served for $10 Adults, $7 kids

(under 10). A portion of the earn-ings will go toward the St. Peter Soccer Club. All are welcome to join the party as Team USA takes on Germany.

“All proceeds will be used to support the construction of a community sports wall. Terry Penland, a volunteer assistant coach for the past 7 years, who died suddenly last fall, spent time researching our options and rec-ommended this was the “hitting wall” the tennis team should

purchase.”All levels of play are welcome.This is a team event, where

Two defending state champi-ons are defending their titles this summer on the ball � elds in the Minnesota River Valley.

� e Le Sueur-Henderson Leg-ends and St. Peter Saints of the Minnesota Senior Men’s Ama-teur Baseball Association both claimed titles last season for what is commonly referred to as “over 35” baseball. � e Legends claimed the Class B state title last season and the Saints won the Class AA championship. Both teams are members of the River Valley League’s Rawlings Division.

LS-H hopes to move up a class in the state tournament this year.

“The mindset of the team is very upbeat and looking to move up to the higher class and com-pete for the championship again,” Legends manager Al Hentges said. “We added some new and younger talent that should help in pitching and in� eld, along with at the plate.”

Newcomers to the team in-clude Bryce Eggert, Scott Schaf-fler, Jerry Froderman, Wayne Averbeck and Jim Sullivan.

Eggert was a veteran for the Arlington A’s amateur team for many years and is expected to help the team at the plate along with his speed in the field, and pitching. Scha� er, a Le Sueur na-tive, bolsters the roster as another quality catcher. Froderman adds an arm to the pitching sta� and will play in� eld when he’s not on the mound. Averbeck is a utility player and Hentges said he can put Averbeck anywhere and still have a solid lineup. And Sullivan, who returns to the Legends a� er a few years away, is a veteran catch-er and adds leadership to the club.

Having won the Class B title last season, the Legends are aim-ing for the state’s highest level of competition at the state tourna-ment.

“We are looking to the AA bracket this year, and would think we have a good chance to end up the season with a record of 10-6, if we get the breaks we have in the past, and all the players show up

to each game,” Hentges said.Hentges also said he sees de-

fending Class AA state champion St. Peter as a tough team to beat, along with the Prior Lake Mari-ners and Shakopee Chiefs.

“In our third year in the league, we have a pretty good feel for the competition, and on any given day, we can compete with all of them,” Hentges said.

Players returning to the team include Mike Barron, Scott Zieher, Tony Nagel, Jason Bor-chardt, Mike Simota, John Hank, Scott Hank, Mark Foley and Kent � ostenson.

Just 10 miles south on Hwy. 169, the St. Peter has it eyes set on another state championship as well.

The 2014 version of the St. Peter over-35 team will look a lot like the 2013 version. Last year the Saints � nished with the most successful year in team history � nishing with an 18-3 overall re-cord and 14-2 mark in the River Valley League. � e season high-light was � nishing as the Class AA Champions where they won four games over two weeks by outscor-

ing their opponents by a margin of 36-8.

Back to anchor the pitching for the Saints is Travis Helling. Helling � nished 7-2 on the sea-son with seven complete games in 53 innings pitched. Helling surrendered only seven runs on the season while striking out 57 batters.

Also expected to work many innings is John Landkamer who pitched 40 innings in route to a 5-0 season. Landkamer record-ed 30 Ks and surrendered nine walks. Kurt Moelter also logged

25 innings, striking out 22 batters with eight walks en route to a 4-0 record. � is year Kris Brenke will be added to the arsenal and will get a few innings most likely in the closer role.

Manager Pete Moulton said the Saints are loaded at the plate with nine batters returning who hit .300 plus last season – led by Helling at .596, Moelter at .517, Craig Fritz at .444 and Greg Drent at .404. In addition the Saints re-turn Chris Barnick from the 2012 team where he hit .432. Brian Do-nahue was hitting at a .500 clip

last year before an injury sidelined him at mid-season.

Defensively, the Saints are solid through out the � eld led by John Landkamer and Glenn Pe-ters at shortstop, Kris Brenke and Pat Quigley at second base. Matt “Moonlight” Bishop anchors � rst base while Dan Stransky, Je� Jer-emiason and Je� Welp will rotate at the third base corner. Behind the plate are Kurt Moelter and Chris Barnick who are known to continually throw out opposing runners.

In the out� eld, the Saints have

Helling in center, Fritz in le� and Drent in right. “Jeremiason and Welp also work many innings in the out� eld,” Moulton said. “Bob Elsen, Neil Doose, Je� Knutson and Chris Shearman return as utility players where they serve in a variety of roles.

“Regardless of the line-up the Saints will be a strong contender for another state title,” Moulton said. “During the past three years the Saints have finished first (2013), second (2012) and third

STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANIESHOME OFFICES: BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS

“Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.”®

(2011). Our goal is to make it into the �nal weekend of the state tournament undefeated and go from there. With the results of the last three years a matter of record, you can see that the Saints plan to contend for another state title.”

Not to be overshadowed by its neighboring state champions, the Le Center Braves also boast a strong team.

The Braves completed their 22nd season last year with an Riv-er Valley League record of 10-6 and 11-9 overall. �ey improved to a 14th seed in the state tourna-ment and won their way into the AA bracket – the highest level of competition.

Grant Anderson, 68, received recognition as the Oldest Player Award at the state tournament last year and is back this season. �e year prior, Steve Biehn of the Braves received that same award.

Both Anderson and Biehn are charter Brave players.

A�er spending every season on a ball �eld since he was a kid, Biehn decided to retire this sea-son. Although the Braves have lost a few players this season, General Manager Ken Schmidt said the team has added a few played to �ll some holes. �is biggest ques-tion regarding how the team will perform this year depends on who shows up to games.

“Everybody has a family life and not everybody will be able to make it to each game,” Schmidt said. “And with the age of the guys on the team, you never know who might su�er and injury and have to sit out for a while.”

After finishing with a 10-6 league record last season, this year’s schedule is based on that record, meaning the Braves are in for tough competition.

“We are hoping we can do

about the same as last year or im-prove a bit,” Schmidt said. “We added some pitching this year and we’ve got three or four guys that can throw where in years past we only had two or three. We’ll just play with who we got and see where it goes.”

State amateur baseball tour-nament coming to Le Sueur

During the last two weekends of August and Labor Day week-end, Le Sueur’s Bruce Frank Field will be at the epicenter of Min-nesota amateur baseball – com-monly referred to as “town ball.”

Le Sueur is the third site of the Minnesota Baseball Associa-tion state tournament, along with neighboring Belle Plaine and Jor-

dan. Forty-eight teams will com-pete for the Class C championship throughout three weekends in a single elimination format, while 16 teams will compete for the Class B championship in a double elimination format.

As the third site, Bruce Frank Field will not see as many games as Belle Plaine and Jordan – who

are considered the hosts – but it will see a number of Class B games and will be used more in the event of postponements due to weather delays.
