Girls Soccer Program Support
Girls Soccer Program Support The Girls Soccer Program has grown so much since the 1st victory against St. Ben’s on the lakefront way back in 2003. Schools have come and gone. Meteor Pride has always been a calling card of the program. Hard work, dedication and representation of everything a player embodies have always been paramount. We always remind our players of the legacy left before them. We’ve been so fortunate to work with and coach 100s of players. It’s a privilege that is never lost on us. When we took over the program, putting De La Salle on the map as one of the best soccer programs in the city has been a goal of ours. Not only have we done so, but recently, we’ve leveled up as one of the best programs in the State. It seemed far-fetched at the time, but we’ve been able to accomplish just that, and our supporters along the way have inspired us to continue to pursue our goals. We want everyone to know that we play good soccer on 35th & Michigan. We are asking for you to continue to support our program with your presence and fandom. Please consider a donation to help…

🏈 7th & 8th Grade Football Speed and Agility Camp This intensive, non-contact camp is specifically designed for 7th and 8th-grade football players looking to gain a competitive edge. The focus is on developing the foundational athletic skills critical for success on the field, regardless of position. Key Focus Areas: Speed & Acceleration: Participants will work on proper running mechanics, explosive starts, and top-end speed development through drills like sprints, resistance running, and plyometrics. Agility & Change of Direction: The camp emphasizes quickness and footwork using drills such as L-drills, Pro Agility Shuttle (5-10-5), and various cone and ladder drills to improve their ability to stop, cut, and accelerate in different directions. Conditioning & Endurance: Athletes will engage in high-intensity interval training to boost game-time stamina and maintain performance throughout a contest. Functional Strength: Sessions may include bodyweight exercises and band work focused on core stability, hip drive, and joint resilience to help prevent common football injuries. The camp offers a high-energy, focused training environment led by experienced coaches, helping young athletes build the speed, agility, and confidence needed to excel in their middle school seasons.
