For the second year in a row, our u14 girls will be attending Super Y Nationals in Tampa, Florida.  However, this year they won’t be travelling alone, the u17 girls also were selected to attend the 2009 Nationals. 

The u14 Girls, coached by Courtney Nash and Brock West, finished 1st in their Midwest bracket grabbing one of the two spots available in the Midwest division.  The bulk of the team competed last year in the u13 age group at National Finals and is excited about attending the tournament again in hopes of being crowned National Champs. 

The u17 Girls were coached by Danny Price and nearly swept their Midwest division, losing only one game to the 1st place Fort Wayne Fever.  Even though it will be their first time attending the National tournament, the girls will no doubt pose a strong challenge for any teams they come up against. 

Good luck to both teams!

The U17 Girls Super Y team coached by Danny Price winning a straight four games in a row to become the 2009 KISS Tournameny U17 Girls Champions.  The girls beat their opponents (NIFA Premier, Minnesota Thunder, Vardar North, and De Pere Select) with a combined 18 goals for and only 2 goals against. 

Currently the ladies are also undefeated in their Super Y league play at 4 - 0. 

The West Michigan Fire will be hosting Super Y Tryouts for the summer of 2009.  2008 saw the FIRE send another team to the Super Y National Finals for the second straight year in a row.  In addition to the accomplishments of the u13 girls at the National Finals, 14 players from the our Super Y teams were selected as candidates for the Super Y National ODP program.
