Hi Carol & Scottish United Board, I will try to send a few pics one at a time. I just want to say thank you again for your kind donations. You should have seen the look on the kid's faces when we dumped the balls out of the bags. They were so excited! Some of the children had never touched a real ball before. They generally use rags wrapped with string. The sports camp was a huge success! The coaches were so appreciative of all of the equipment that we left behind. Part of the sports camp was to start to prepare the children who go to school in the village for inter-school competition. They have never played an actual game. Well... they played their first game a few weeks back and won! They were so excited! You will never know the impact to which your donations affected the children and village. THANK YOU! Cheers, Linda (former Scottish Assistant Coach 1995 Girls) CHILDREN'S FITNESS TAX CREDIT: Receipts are available for pickup MAJOR LEAGUE TRYOUTS: Ladies Concluded: Contact Dean Cordeiro for further info.

The Scottish United Soccer Club is the youth division of the NWU (Northwest United) Soccer Club, one of Edmonton's oldest originating soccer clubs incorporated in 1977. The name of the youth division was changed in 2006 to Scottish United to reflect the youth program's relationship with the Edmonton Scottish Society and the NWUnited Major League Program, dropping the NW as the youth league operates out of Edmonton's SW (southwest) Zone. We draw on the long and successful history of the club to provide our players with one of the best programs in the City. As proud members of the Interdistrict Youth Soccer Association (EIYSA), we are striving to be the best! To that end, we offer superior coaching (see here for coaching CV's), technical/tactical support and various additional training opportunities. Our training programs are structured to be dynamic in nature to accommodate and adapt to the developmental needs of our various age categories and particular needs of each individual team.
