Middle School Teams play with Victory Events this Fall

HL Philadelphia middle school programs participated in the Victory Fall Classic Tournaments in October. The club teams consist of boys & girls from both Finletter and Olney programs who have been playing for 2+ years. 

While in their first few months as Program Directors, Coach Lesley and Coach Amanda prepared the girls with combined practices to introduce them to one another and get the team chemistry building before the tournament took place. Ayanna, who is a first time goalie, had an outstanding day, making game-changing saves. The girls improved every game, and Coach Lesley and Coach Amanda saw their hard work come to life as the girls worked hard to compete.

Coach Julian and Coach Aidan kicked off their first Fall tournament with combined practices to not only introduce the boys, but to build skill together in preparation for their competition. The boys were faced with some tough teams at the tournament, but they responded with grit and improvement after each game. The 8th graders carried the team culture, being the most experienced, and showed great leadership throughout the day. 

The Boys Tournament occurred on Sunda, October 20th at Subaru Park.  The Girls Tournament occurred on October 26th at Great Valley High School. We are thankful for our partnership with Victory Events, both boys' & girl's events will continue to be a staple to kick off competition for the Fall season in Philadelphia.
