SUMMER 2008
FURY
The Minnesota Fury AAU Club is excited about the 2008 season after an outstanding inaugural season this summer! They will be looking for players ages 13U through 16U for next years teams.

The Fury have an impressive website (http://www.minnesotafury.com/) with a one-of-a-kind statistics package. Their top three priorities are College Exposure, Player Development, and Fun!

Teams are filling up fast. Email Nick Storm at nstorm@minnesotafury.com to be apart of the “Baby Blue & Gold.”

METRO STARS
Steve Reiter (Blaine High School) will be the head coach of the Metro Stars 15U team and Robert Grace (Mpls Southwest High School) will be the head coach of the Metro Stars 13U team for the 2008 AAU season.

Metro Stars team fees for the 2008 AAU season will be $400 per player at the 12U-19U age levels. Program director Andy Meinhardt says, "We encourage people to try and find better value for their dollar than the Metro Stars!"

THANK YOU MESSAGE
Rachelle Eckmann and Family sends a personal thank you to Scott Antl and Marcus Wilhelm for the hours of time that they put into the Minnesota Stars Program and working with all their Kids. "They are two great up and coming coaches, their leadership and guidance is priceless."

Now it is my turn to thank the readers. If you have news, go to my profile and email me.
