The building season...

For those teams who are not competing in the Midwest and National tournaments, the Spring is a time to build the club, train rookies, and prepare for the Fall conference schedule. The rumor is that the winter has been a productive recruiting season and that the Spring matches should be full of new rookies ready to step on the pitch for the first time. Reports are that Muskego is continuing to grow and will likely have 2-sides again this Spring and Brookfield is adding players, as well.

However, the real story of the spring may be Fond du Lac (FDL) which had great difficulty in the Fall fielding a full side. The word on the street is that FDL may have upto 30-players. If this trend holds out, there could be nearly 6 clubs with B-side teams (DSHA, Vernon, CMH, FDL, Muskego, and Brookfield). Perhaps the fall will see the institution of a separate "B-side" competition at the state tournament.
