  The 1996 boys from Florida followed up a 3-0 victory in the semis with a 3-0 win over Michigan in the championship game. The scoring opened in the 24th minute when Johnny Nartowicz won the ball in the midfield then started a string of passes that resulted in a goal by Morgan Shepard.

The objective of the session was to continue preparations for the State Cup, but also to place the players in an environment where they could advance their soccer education and player development to a higher level of thinking. Each player focused well in the classroom session so that they could ultimately APPLY the concepts from the classroom onto the field. All three coaches were thrilled with the efforts of all of the players in attendance. They all hope to perform well in their respective State Cup age groups, but most importantly, they hope to keep improving upon their players’ and team’s development.
