RIGHT NOW I LIKE …
Team discipline and ability to counter and adapt to any style of play by our opposition. Our players are buying in to the program we are setting up here in Wilmington. Players are preparing harder in the off-season. Coaches are dedicated to making this a championship program. Diligent training in the weight room and off-season soccer camps, along with club soccer play, has helped our players develop in to a championship caliber team. Each year we are working harder to have our boys ready to win the SCOL because each year we believe we have a team that can do so.
