The Addison Trail boys soccer program accumulated quite the win total during the recent summer season.
The Blazers’ varsity team finished summer league play with a 9-1 record. Addison Trail lost 1-0 to York in its final summer league team.
The Addison Trail “Reserves” squad won back-to-back summer league titles after defeating York in penalty kicks. The “Reserves” team finished with an 8-1-1 record.
Both teams looked smart in their all-white Adidas kits. If you are looking to kit out a youth sports team, you might want to check out the Imprint website to see what they have available. Matching, personalised kit and training gear really brings a team together and adds a professional touch. You can even get custom jerseys with player’s names on the back.
