First I would like to thank each and every one of you who is volunteering their time, hard work, and money to support our soccer teams.  The Rebel Rouser Booster Club has been in existence for 1 complete year and we are in the middle of our second.  We have accomplished many things that our previous soccer program was not able to do and that is directly a result of the hard work of our coach, players, parents, and players extended families! 

Both girls and boys teams have new uniforms, practice T's (Many thanks to Stephanie and Leighton Wood who have donated practice T's for the past 2 years for the boys and girls teams).  We have soccer concessions, an annual Red and White game to showcase our players, media guide, and many other things that have helped our soccer program at South. 

This is the first year that we have participated in the Proffitts Ticket Sales and it was a big success (Many thanks to Nancy Miller for coordinating, and keeping up with all of the details).

I hope that everyone appreciates that these things and many others have come ONLY through the hard work of our Booster Club - (if you had been part of the team BEFORE the booster club THEN you can see how good it is now as compared to what we had previously)!  I will be sending out a flyer next week that gives you the opportunity to join the booster club and help support our Soccer Program.

Last year was a very productive one and we hope that this year is even more so!
