The new U9 Girls team has begun preparations for its inaugural season this fall but it’s not too late to get involved.  Coach Ricci is still looking to add more girls to his roster.  In order to be eligible, girls must be born between August 1, 2002 and July 31, 2004.  The team will be holding informal practices throughout June, July and August.  If you think your daughter might be interested, please contact Coach Ricci at riccirus@optonline.net.  You can also check out the FAQ section of this website http://www.millstonesoccer.com/faq/ for some answers to common questions from parents who are new to Millstone United Travel Soccer.

At the monthly MUTS meeting on May 5^th the MUTS executive committee decided to make additional MUTS discount cards available to any MUTS parents who are interested in selling more cards.  For those parents who sell additional cards, 50% of the proceeds ($5/card) will go to the MUTS general fund to help offset MUTS operating expenses.  The other 50% of the proceeds ($5/card) will be credited back to your team with a further credit to be applied to the player’s team related fees. 

If you are interested in selling additional cards, please contact your son or daughter’s coach for more information.  Thank you to all MUTS parents for your continued support.
