We will celebrate our Seniors on Tuesday, October 15th at halftime of our varsity match hosting Pomona at Lakewood Memorial Field. All players will participate in the ceremony, all wearing their game jerseys. All senior parents, please be at the stadium by 5:30pm, and please move quickly across the field toward the home bench as soon as halftime starts. We have a lot to accomplish in 10 minutes, and we want to respect our opponent by starting the second half ontime. It will be a great night thanking and honoring eight outstanding young men and their families!

Something stands out as we face challenging results in the win/loss column: Our boys are staying together. Starting with the fifth opponent of the season – the varsity win at Lincoln – our bench has been on our feet cheering loudly and proudly. In the last 10 minutes of the varsity D’Evelyn match, when the result was no longer in question, and many of the starters were out of the game, our senior leaders were on their feet on the bench rooting on their teammates. Think about that for a minute. As the realization of losing in their last chance at a rival soaked in, our seniors stood and screamed encouragement for their brothers. The Rams are bonded in important ways. Let’s carry this connection into the last month of the season, and let’s defend the mountain together.

We earned back-to-back varsity wins over Lincoln and Bear Creek this week before dropping our homecoming game to Conifer in spite of a two-goal comeback. The absolute highlight of our varsity week was the attitude and enthusiasm on the squad. At all three matches, the bench was on our feet cheering the whole games, and we played with confidence and fearlessness on the pitch. The change is palpable, and the boys should be very proud of how they have pulled together and started playing with joy.

We are thrilled that 78 Green Mountain Soccer players and supporters will welcome the #2 team in the nation, the DU Men’s Soccer Pioneers, home to host Yale this evening. The tickets have been distributed to the players. Please wear Green Mountain gear as we represent Ram Nation. There is no set time expectation for the players, but everyone is encouraged to come for warmups as aspects of our pregame warmup are based on DU’s, so seeing it done at a high level is definitely inspiring.
You can find direction to the University of Denver Soccer Stadium in Google Maps. We recommend street parking in the neighborhood around the stadium. If you can see the gold clock tower, walk that way as the entry gate is directly under it. If you have any trouble on the way in, call or text Coach Matt: 303-204-1412.
The players and coaches met before training Tuesday. Together we are announcing a couple of changes to our Green Mountain Soccer program policies.

Congratulations to our whole program on a hard-fought 2-1 JV victory over Thomas Jefferson on our turf Friday where we definitely worked together to defend the mountain. Benny and Grayden both had spectacular goals, both assisted by Shane, while Miles made a couple of really key saves to ensure the victory. It was a whole team effort with the varsity players cheering loud and proud on the bench side, and lots of family members proudly wearing their Green Mountain Soccer scarves and offering encouragement on the bleachers side.
We will be off Monday, September 9th. We will train at our normal times Tuesday through Friday, as we have no games this coming week. We will train Saturday, September 14th from 2pm to 3:30pm.

What a summer! The exciting news is that interest in Green Mountain Soccer is way up, and many of the boys spent the summer coming together as a team. The challenging news is that we will not have spots on the roster for all of the players who try out August 12th through 15th. As a coaching staff, we want to set expectations so all players and supporters understand the tryouts process.
