Soccer Complex "Facelift" Aug. 23, 2003 South of Collinsville

On August 23, 2003, the Collinsville Soccer Complex recieved a "face lift". Approximately 50 parents and players all came out in 100+ temperatures to help make this happen. Parents brought with them lawn mowers and weedeaters to get rid of some of the extra grass. The bleachers recieved new wooden seats and along with the goal posts all recieved a fresh coat of paint. Eric Loffer and his crew spent most of the day digging new water lines. We even got a new sign for our gate.

The club officials would like to thank everyone that helped. Without your help, none of this would have been possible.

We also want to say a special thanks to Ron and Paula Fifer our concessions stand managers, who saved our lives. They were on hand with lots of water, snowcones and hot dogs to keep our energy up.

Our games start on Sept 6 and will go through Nov 8. We have children as young as under 6's all the way through under 16's and they play every Saturday. The cost is free, so come on out and show your support for our youth.
