Big Story on Iowa Lakes Soccer! :)

Check out the story that KTIV News Channel 4 put together on the Iowa Lakes Soccer Program!! The video is about 2:30 minutes and was filmed during our first team fitness test of the year. Let us know what you think!!

Players Making a Difference in the Community

Service. This is something that the Iowa Lakes Soccer program has tried to instill in our athletes since the start of both programs. Last year during the men's inaugural season, they participated with the local recycling center in helping sort recyclables and used their manpower to assist an elderly woman move out of her house and into a new one.

This year the men's and women's team have already doubled the hours of service that they had accomplished last year, starting in the second week of preseason. Every athlete from each team helped coach basic soccer skills to the local youth at a YMCA Soccer Camp this August. They also joined KICD radio and assisted an elderly lady in the painting of her house. Because of all of the help, the painting was finished in half the time as expected.

Since then, both teams have gotten the 'service bug' and have been signing up for volunteer work on their own. Karen Sosa and Annie Brophy have been putting in survey service hours at the Clay County Fair this year, along with Angel Murphey who served as "Woodsy the Recycling Owl" and helped with the balloon brigade. Angel went above and beyond in her call of service by dressing up as the mascot and interacting with little kids and adults encouraging them to recycle. Tom Boe and Jade Martin were also just a few of the athletes who volunteered their time to film a recycling commercial for the Clay County Fair. Also tonight, half of the men's team will be helping the Cattleman's Club at the Branding Iron helping with all aspects of running the restaurant.

Both teams have been making a huge difference in the community already, we look forward to seeing the impact they make the rest of the year!
