Even though it was the final week of the soccer season, the enthusiasm and excitement of the players was not diminished in the slightest as the teams took to the field with more refined skill, greater endurance, and stronger perseverance than had been displayed in any of the earlier weeks.

Coaches, parents, and supporters on the sidelines all took notice of the much-improved level of gameplay that unfolded on the field as well as the noticeably better attitudes, sportsmanship, and camaraderie that continued both on and off the field.

The top moments of the summer were remembered with smiles, laughter, and celebration as the season reached its close, and the medals were proudly handed out to mark another truly stellar year of soccer in the community.

Players and parents alike expressed their thanks and gratitude to the dedicated volunteer coaches, recognizing all the long hours, energy, and commitment that had been poured into the program throughout the warm summer months.

Conversations and planning have already started about next summer’s program, with even more anticipation building for what is to come. Looking forward to next year, the organization is aiming to expand enrollment with additional players and more teams, since each season the waiting list grows longer and the demand for outdoor sports and community engagement continues to rise in Haliburton.
