- 10 players participated in the District wide Developmental Program with St Charles Soccer Association and Portage Trail Soccer Club – This is the pre-curser for Premier and Provincial Programs.
- SYSA graduate Maeghan Lindsay selected in the 2009/2010 Provincial U13 Girls soccer program.
 A twelve-year-old soccer player trained in the Stonewall Youth Soccer Association (SYSA) has made it to the final tryouts for the U13 Provincial girl’s soccer team. Maeghan Lindsay of Stonewall was chosen as one of 40 girls good enough to try out for the elite Manitoba team after being scouted at one of her games in Winnipeg this summer. Lindsay will try to become one of the final 18 players picked for the team. Lindsay has played in the SYSA since the age of five, before being invited to play with the St. Charles Developmental team this past summer. She says her interest in the beautiful game runs deeply in her family.
As long as she makes the cut this weekend Lindsay will start playing exhibition games with the provincial team early next year before the season starts in the spring. On top of playing with the provincial team, Lindsay says she’s also going to continue playing with St. Charles Developmental team next season as well.
“Ultimately Lindsay says she’d like to play for Team Canada when she’s older.
This success has come via the dedication of our coaching staff, the support of their families, and the commitment of our players. We also cannot underestimate the support of the Town of Stonewall in providing and maintaining a great soccer facility for our players to develop in.
See you all next year.
