NOOSA EAGLES SOCCER
THIS week took Noosa Eagles Soccer Club to the end of the 2016 soccer season.
Despite the clouds and a little bit of rain, many of the Eagles families headed to the Lutheran College for a morning of fun and celebration for the club.
The preparation from the committee was clearly apparent by the food and games – and of course trophies – that were ready to go for the club’s over 130 junior members.
After playing on the jumping castle, enjoying an old favourite tug-of-war as well as some three-legged races and a bit of dodge ball, which was strangely fun for the adults as well, everyone then retreated for the club presentations where every player was awarded with a trophy.
An enormous thank you goes out to all the coaches and managers who selflessly have given their time and efforts to help coach players.
The club could also not be run without the efforts of the great committee, so a massive thank you was extended to Noosa Eagles President Carl Burberry for leading the committee, and of course the entire committee for their efforts throughout the season.
Later that evening “The Adermann Soccer Awards” were well attended by representatives of the Noosa Eagles Soccer Club.
It was a huge night, with 650 players and families attending from the Sunshine Coast Churches Soccer Association.
Three players from Noosa Eagles were nominated for the award, Elijah Taylor, Jude Youens and Innocent Sabinda.
They received medals for being nominated, but the competition was very stiff and our boys unfortunately didn’t win the big award.
It was an honour just to be recognised for an outstanding year of soccer, well done boys! The entire club is very proud.
Next season’s sign on is scheduled for February 2017.
