Cadets Attend Major League Soccer Game!

On Thursday, November 29^th, seventeen SJ Cadets Soccer Boys attended the MLS Eastern Conference Championship between the New York Red Bulls & Atlanta United at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey. The trip was organized by Coach Carlos Reinoso (and co-chaperoned by Coach Fabian Cano).

At half-time, Coach Carlos surprised the boys with an on-field experience and professional photo. They were all very excited and amazed as they walked out to the field. 

This is the second time Coach Carlos has orchestrated this type of outing. Last year, SJ Cadets also attended a professional soccer match between the New York City FC and the Columbus Crew. Last year, approximately 20 students attended. 

Coach Carlos writes: "It's not just about playing but watching it on TV and attending a live match when possible. The goal is to get the player to feel the passion and begin to love the beautiful sport for all it is. Some of our players had never been to a professional soccer match so it was all new to them. It's always very gratifying seeing them enjoying the experience. Overall, it's always a great time and experience and by the end, we are making memories that will last a lifetime!"
