We would like to thank Summer Dodson for her many years of service to WLSC. Effective July 15th, she has decided to step down from her position with the Washington Local Soccer Club, as her children are no longer involved in the program. She was our League Registrar/Program Director since 2011, and came in at a time when we really needed someone new to learn the position.
Under Summer's guidance, this organization has seen incredible growth - having over 500 players in our largest season in the Spring of 2015. She also played a major role in getting our registration process more streamlined, as well as took the lead in moving player registrations online.
Please be patient as we work through the registration system and trying to sort out teams. We will be in contact with all the coaches with rosters once everything is ready to go for the Fall season.

Thank You for a Great Spring Season
It's hard to believe that Spring Soccer is over already, but with temperatures above 90 degrees today, we were all ready to finish and bring on summertime.
Thank you to all parents, players and coaches who helped make this a fun season. Hopefully, all of our players were able to leave the fields today having developed their skills much further than where they were in April. That's really what this program is all about.
Congratulations to our two winners of the Championship games. In the U-11 Division, Team 1 lifted the trophy with a 6-2 win. Over in U-14, the Jaguars gave up their first goals of the season. That's quite an impressive run. They won the Championship by a final of 3-2.
We wish all of our 8th Grade players good luck as they head to high school in the Fall. For them, this was their final time as a player on a WLSC field. We hope you all are able to continue your soccer journey at the next level.
Registration information for our Fall season will be posted soon. If you don't already follow our Facebook page, give it a 'Like' to keep up with the latest information.

Congratulations to Brandon Westrick - Class of 2016, Whitmer High School
Washington Local Soccer congratulates Referee Brandon Westrick as he graduates from Whitmer High School this Saturday.
Brandon first joined our organization as a Kindergarten player, and played here until the 3rd Grade. At that point, he decided it was time for better competition, and moved up to travel soccer. His years at Glass City gave him the opportunity to develop the skill set needed for a successful high school career.
He returned to Washington Local Soccer in 2012 to become a referee. He started on the U-5 division, and quickly worked his way up to the U-14 field. Brandon has been our Lead Referee on that field since the Fall 2014 season.
While at Whitmer, Brandon was involved in the Computer Network Program for two years. He plans to attend Owens Community College in the Fall, where he'll study Wide Area Network Tech.
He is an avid Columbus Crew fan, and attended several matches last season and during their playoff run, including the Final.

Here is what Brandon had to say about his time in Washington Local Soccer:
"Being given the chance to referee on some of the very fields that I've played on makes it very special to me. I hope all the kids in WLSC get the chance to do the same. At Whitmer, my proudest moments were when I was wearing that jersey on the field under the lights in front of all the fans. It's a special feeling being out there and playing with all my friends and teammates. Hearing your name being called on the speaker gets you excited and gives me butterflies in my stomach. It makes me feel like all my hard work, starting at WLSC, has all paid off in that moment" -Brandon Westrick, WLSC Referee, Class of 2016

In Her Own Words
When I asked Emily for the information to write this post, she included the following thought. It reminds us all that youth soccer teaches valuable lessons that are much more important and longer-lasting than wins and losses could ever be.
