My male child played in both programs, and I can say that the emphasis was clearly with the boys side. With this new merger it is a great time to start to demonstrate that girls soccer is as important as boys. If the girls side has their own VP or Director they will have more feeling of importance and status, as well as it would be attractive to girls that play in other programs where the boys get all the attention. Also girls are probably more dedicated, over the period of their soccer experiences, in comparison to the guys. They do deserve more attention and emphasis than they have received in the past in the Cola. area. Therefore, I have to disagree with TP that 'soccer players are soccer players.'
