Bridget VanderStelt receives check from coach John O’Brien

Lainey Peterson is a member of the U16 Girls Sailors travel team. On July 1 2008 her step-father, Troy VanderStelt, was killed. John O’Brien (coach of her team and coaching director of the travel program) decided that the Sailors needed to assist Lainey and her family. He decided to do a goalathon with all the travel teams and with Saior Soccer president Tania Hoover’s approval, he spoke to the travel coaches about the concept. The idea was that for every goal a team scored, the parents would contribute 25 cents, which was collected by the team managers at the end of the season. In total, $607 dollars was generated. A number of families also gave donations. After the season John presented Bridget VanderStelt with a check from the club. Thanks to all the teams who took part in this good cause.

On the recreational level, we field teams from U6 through U19 in boys, girls and co-ed divisions as part of the Great Lakes Co-Ed Soccer League (GLCSL).
