West Prince Storm Soccer Club
Community & Competitive Team Update
July 7, 2024
Hi everyone,
Before we get into the community and competitive team updates, we would like to let everyone know that we are looking to sell some of our soccer balls that we have gathered up over the years. We have likely 70-80 soccer balls that we are not using these days so we will have them for sale at the Clubhouse for the next couple of weeks. We are only asking for a small amount of $2 or $3 each depending on the soccer ball quality. The proceeds will be used to purchase some new game balls for next summer.
COMMUNITY PROGRAM UPDATE:
There will be a further community program coming out on Tuesday with an update on the under 9 team rosters (had to make a few revisions with some changes that took place) as well as some other general information. The community programs will be kicking into full gear this week. Practices in each community are as follows going forward:
Tignish:
Wednesday at 9:00 am for under 7, 10:00 am for under 9 and 11:00 am for under 11 as well as a combined practice at 6:00 pm that evening if anyone can’t make the morning practice

The schedule of remaining games will be in this update as well for the Under 9 league. Players, please try to be at the field at least 15 minutes before your game start time. Parking should be in the main parking lot at Hernewood, try not to park at the back of the school in the hopes that we can limit the traffic going to the back.
