The Warsaw Lady Tiger Soccer Team partnered with the Warsaw Wave in a community soccer outreach event Saturday morning. Around 75 children braved the wet weather to improve their skills. The campers were split into various age groups, with the Warsaw Wave coaches leading the children through some soccer specific exercises while the Lady Tiger soccer team provided support.
It rained off and on throughout the morning, but that did not deter the spirits of the campers nor counselors. Julie Frazzetta, one of the Lady Tigers team captains, said, “It’s encouraging to see that many kids out playing the sport they love despite the weather.”
Another WCHS Captain, Breck Jackson, noted the importance of the fact that the players around them would potentially be future soccer players for the Lady Tigers. “I enjoyed being one-on-one with the campers and getting to know them,” she said. “I also enjoyed connecting with the players who are potential players for the Warsaw soccer program in the future and teaching them skills that are essential parts to contribute in a game.”
The community players were able to participate in various activities that built up soccer skills like dribbling, passing and receiving, as well as playing small sided games. Lady Tiger head coach Peter Lucht and junior varsity head coach Ty Propp were able to float around and communicate with community players, parents and grandparents. “I think it is a really neat opportunity for the girls on the team to give back to the community,” Lucht said. “I was able to see several of our players interacting with the young people of our community, hoping to show them a little bit of love while passing along some of their soccer knowledge.”
All in all, despite the rain, the experience was truly rewarding for both community players and the Lady Tigers. Dayle Harvey, the third Warsaw captain, said “I really enjoyed spending the time with the kids and enhancing their soccer knowledge. It was truly a worthwhile experience.”
