The Club has grown in the past few years, and the Soccer Complex in Hoosick now has several fields, which means several games can be played at once.  The Soccer Club’s new snack shack offers a variety food, from fresh barbecued burgers and hotdogs to candy and chips.  “It’s good to see these improvements to the complex.  Seeing so many people together at the complex having a good time on a Saturday morning made me happy. Any money donated to our youth is worthwhile,” said Stan Brownell. 

 

 

Brownell and Goodermote presented the check to Gareth Isaac, better know as Coach Gaz, following a scrimmage game that he coached with the second and third grade teams.  

“Coach Gaz is well liked and respected by the players.  It was obvious.  We enjoyed watching the game and meeting with the kids.  It is nice to see families together,” said Lester Goodermote.
