U-13 Girls MYSL Division Champions Fall 2004

U-12 Girls Middletown Spring Blast - Champions 2004

The TSC Blizzards were first formed in the summer of 2000 as a U9 team, representing the Troy Soccer Club (TSC) and the Troy Youth Soccer League (TYSL).  While our aim is to support the mission of TYSL and TSC; that being to develop players to feed the high school programs within the city of Troy, we also have a higher goal, that being to develop a skill set in young ladies that will allow them to grow their skills in the game of soccer, while practicing fair play and good sportsmanship.  While each of our players may contribute in some way to a high school program, a far greater reward will be to see these players develop a life-long love of the game, which will lead them into playing soccer at some level long after they graduate from high school.  This measure of success will lead each of our players to develop a level of fitness, physical conditioning, and healthy living that will benefit them both on and off the soccer field for the rest of their lives. 

The Blizzards play in the Michigan Youth Soccer League (MYSL), and through 4 years played in 2nd thru 4th division of MYSL.  In spring of 2004, we competed in 3rd division, and earned promotion to 2nd division.  In the fall of 2004, we competed in 2nd division, winning the division championship, and earned promotion to 1st division for the spring 2005 season.  The spring 2005 season was a challenge for us, competing in the Premier Division for the first time.  We played competitively in most of our games, finishing with a 3-7-2 record that did not really reflect our progression in both skill and team development. The highlight of our spring 2005 season was earning the Championship of the Junior Irish Memorial Day Invitational for U13 Girls, White Division.  For the Fall 2005 season, we will be entering the Michigan State Premier Soccer League.  Here are some photos of our most recent championships.

The TSC Blizzards are coached by Greg Edgin and Cliff Spencer.

Greg Edgin has been coaching within TYSL/TSC since 1990. He holds a "D" License from the Michigan State Youth Soccer Association, and has coached both boys and girl's teams within TYSL, Michigan Youth Soccer League, and the Michigan State Premier Soccer League.  He is also a USSF Grade 8 referee, and has been refereeing since 1992.

Cliff Spencer has been involved with coaching in TYSL for over 9 years. He holds a MSYSA "E" license.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank each of the team members and families who have played with the TSC Blizzards over the past year, and in some cases, over the past 7 ½ years.  This has been a great experience with a great group of young ladies, and we look forward to continuing to work with them in the years ahead.
