Host a Challenger Coach in Your Home
This spring, we will again have two coaches from Challenger Sports in town: Rob Cross is returning from last season and Carl Wilson will be joining us (see their profiles here). We are looking for parents who would like to host one of these fine young men this season, from March 24 through June 11. Over the years, many families have enjoyed hosting. The coaches only need a place to stay and some help with meals. They have their own cars and are otherwise self-sufficient. If your family can accommodate on of these fine young men for some or all of the upcoming season, please contact Larry Goodman at lgdmdpc@aol.com or 617-365-1526. Thanks!
Volunteers Needed!
Sharon Soccer is a volunteer organization and, as a result, we are always looking for volunteers to help run our large program. We are currently looking for volunteers in these specific roles. But, keep in mind, you don’t have to volunteer for one of these specific roles. No experience is necessary. Only a desire to help provide a soccer opportunity for the children of Sharon. If you want to get involved please email Larry Goodman at lgdmdpc@aol.com. All volunteers are welcome!
Travel Soccer Coordinator
Activities: Focal point for the travel teams. Organize the coach meetings, handle questions for new coaches, Communicate to the teams Fall and Spring league information, and Represent SSA in SSSL activities.
Referee Coordinator
Activities: Anytime a team plays at home Sharon gets to have one of our refs make the call! Literally. This position makes sure we have refs in place for all of our home games. This includes our Recreation and Travel programs from grade 3 right up to the older kids.
Assistant Recreation Coordinator
Activities: Assist the recreation coordinator with planning and running the recreation soccer season(s). All kinds of fun stuff to do here including: showing the coaches how to setup the field or even run a practice, planning the teams, laying out the fields, telling parents not to forget the water bottle, and of course answering all those parent questions such as: Do the socks go over or under the shin guards? If you are a parent and will be at the fields anyway, this is great way to help while your child is enjoying the benefits of the program.
Assistant Web Master
Activities: This new role is for anyone who would like to help out communicating to the Soccer community in Sharon. We would like to make an effort to really keep the web site fresh. Keeping the web site up to date is an important function and you get to initiate all of the changes on the web site. Examples include: Tryout instructions and writing volunteer messages like this one are just some of the tasks the assistant web mater could work on. Also composing those “soccer canceled” messages during the recreations seasons.

Travel Registration Now On-Line
We are now doing travel registrations online. Go to the Registration page of our website and click on the blinking CLICK HERE TO REGISTER! icon. You must complete the registration, including payment, by July 23, 2011. U12 and U14 players will need to mail two color, 1.5" x 1.5" head and shoulders photos of themselves (wallet size school photo or passport pictures work best) to Cherry Chun SSA Registrar, PO Box 393, Sharon, MA 02067. Photos are also due by July 23. If this is your child's first time playing travel, you will need to mail me a copy of your child's birth certificate (we cannot accept copies of passports), also due July 23. U10 players will be participating in Fall Rec. You do not need to register or pay separately for this. It is included in your Travel Registration. If you do not complete all of the requirements for registration, you run the risk of losing your child's spot on the team. We understand that this is a short time period and that some kids may be away at camp, but we now have an earlier deadline to have all of our team rosters, player cards, payments, etc. submitted. In order to get that all done, we need to make our own deadlines earlier. We hope that you will find the online registration quick and easy. No coaches have been selected yet for any teams. Selection will be done over the next week. You should be hearing from the coach of your child's team before the season starts.

Sharon U12-A Girls Win Indoor Championship
 The girls U-12A team won the Division 1 Championship for the indoor season. Sharon finished the regular season as the number 3 seed. In the semi-final game, Sharon knocked off a stunned Easton team which had dealt Sharon 2 out of its 3 regular season loses. After a disallowed goal by Easton on a slide tackle, Meaghan Connolly launched a laser shot past Easton’s keeper for the game's only score. In the final Sharon faced the number 1 seed and regular season scoring leader, Foxboro. Foxboro took little time to get on the board scoring in the first minute of the game. That would be the last time Foxboro would score. Victoria Zambello scored the first of her 2 goals late in the first half. Early in the second half Ally Steinberg fed Zambello a precision pass as Victoria put it into the Foxboro net for the lead. From there the Sharon defense took over. Lead by keeper, Shira (SportsCenter) Stoller and her defense, Ally Steinberg, Alexandra Filipkowski, Emma Jaeger, and Natalie Gray Sharon shut down the high flying Foxboro offense. Final score: Sharon 2 Foxboro 1. Other member of the team include Sabrina Robbins, Alex Rabb, Sam Rabb, Anna Crosby, Amanda Klayman, Sydney Gordon and coaches Joe Zambello, Alan Robbins, and Steve Rabb. The girls finish the first half of the 2010-2011 season with a record of 16-4. What’s even more impressive about this group of girls is; they played as a team, showed respect for each other and their opponents and made each and every parent and fan proud to be associated with the Sharon Soccer program.

U10 Girls Played Well in Columbus Day Tournament

Alli, Jessie, Lydia, Nicole, and Rose shared goalkeeping duty and allowed only one goal between them, on a penalty kick.

U12 Boys Capture SSSL Division 4 Crown
 On Saturday June 5th, Sharon’s U12 Boys Team, coached by John Reilly, won a “winner-take-all” 1-0 game against Braintree capturing the South Shore Soccer League Division IV Title. On the strength of a late first half goal by Jonathan Fyler and carried by the shut-down goaltending of Stephen Reilly and Ben Hamilton, this team culminated an undefeated fall season which was highlighted by the nail-biting final game. Finishing the travel season with a combined fall, winter and spring record of 17-5-3, this team was very often matched up against opponents with more skilled individual players. But, subscribing to the season’s philosophy of unity and defensive intensity, these boys demonstrated that better teams will beat better players. Congratulations to Varun Beldona, Zack Brody, Sebastian Decarbonnel, Alex Donatelle, Aaron Fairchild, Jonathan Fyler, Ben Hack, Ben Hamilton, Perry Jensen, Amir Kazemi, Stephen Reilly and Daniel Shlayen.

U12 Boys C Team Wins Forekicks Indoor Championship
 Sharon U12 Boys won their Forekicks Indoor Championship on April 28th. The team continued their season-long defensive intensity with stellar efforts by Connor Harris, Ethan Chun, Liam McManus and Ben Friedman. Sharon won a hard fought semifinal game against The Sage School 1-0 with great passing and midfield control by Jake Teven, Aidan Riley, Alex Romantz and Antonio Gracas. Josh Rotman scored the lone goal in the semifinal with one minute left in regulation. The team trailed early in the championship against Plainville, but a goal by Rotman tied the score early in the second half and with 3 minutes to go Tommy Modelevsky made a great pass to Tyler Usen, who one-timed the ball in the back of the net for the championship clinching goal. Daniel Emerman was a rock in goal during both games to lead Sharon to victory. Coaches Todd Usen and Tom Riley were extremely impressed with the boys passion and team play through out the indoor season.

U14 Girls A Team Wins Forekicks Indoor Championship
 The Sharon Girls U14 A team took home the U15, 11-on-11 Indoor Championship at Forekicks in Norfolk. The team played in the most competitive indoor division, the 11 v 11 group, where teams play a full field game. Sharon's league included top teams from Wrenthem, Norfolk, Norton, Attleboro as well as several club teams. Sharon qualified for the playoffs on the last day of the regular season, coming from behind to tie Explosion FC a club team. In their first playoff game, Sharon faced Elite SA, a Holliston based club team. Elite is a very skilled Maple Division 2 team Elite entered the playoffs undefeated in league play. Sharon played a tight defensive game, and combined with excellent goal keeping from Courtney Zambello, and kept the score tied at 0-0 until late in the game, when Maya Williams of the Eagles scored off a corner kick. The Eagles held off a last minute rally by Elite for a 1-0 win. In the finals, Sharon faced Norton United. Despite Sharon thoroughly dominating play and holding a huge territorial advantage, the game was tied after regulation on a goal by Haley Gabel. The teams headed to sudden death overtime. About 2 minutes into overtime, Maya Williams made a great move to get by a defender off of a short corner and her cross was deflected in by Leslie Davis for the winner. Congratulations, champions!
