Duluth HS Soccer Alumni Reunite to Play in Game

Former members of Duluth High School soccer teams are encouraged to put on their playing clothes and lace up their soccer shoes for the upcoming Alumni Soccer Game.

The Duluth High School Soccer Booster Club will host the fourth annual Alumni Soccer Game Saturday, April 30, at the high school stadium. The women’s game starts at 5:30 p.m. followed by the men’s game at 7 p.m.

“The Alumni Soccer Game is one of those special events that we organize in order to help our alumni stay connected after graduation,” said Al Viller, vice president of the booster club. “Facebook, texting and phone calls just can’t compete with reconnecting with a teammate on the pitch. This event is as much about friendships as it is about the love of the game. Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat.”

DHS soccer alumni can register at www.duluthsoccer.org/alumni/ahome.htm. The registration fee of $20 includes an alumni game T-shirt, Viller said.

A $5 donation for adults is requested for admission. Popular Bender’s Barbecue will be available.

Proceeds from the event support the Duluth High School Soccer program. After the men’s match, alumni and friends will meet at Taco Mac, the event’s sponsor, located at 3543 Peachtree Industrial Blvd. in Duluth to review game highlights, renew friendships and reminisce.
