WE MADE THE PAPER! 📰⚽🥧

What started as a simple fundraiser turned into an evening full of laughter, community, and unforgettable memories. Seeing our Pie a Coach event featured in the Three Rivers Commercial-News is such a special reminder of what can happen when a community comes together.

What an incredible evening at our Pie the Coach & Culver’s Night Fundraiser!

On behalf of our players, families, coaches, and volunteers, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who helped make this event such a memorable success.

💙Thank you to Culver’s of Three Rivers for opening your doors, hosting our fundraiser, supporting youth sports, and creating an atmosphere filled with laughter, community, and fun. The smiles on the faces of our players and families said it all.

🛒Thank you to Meijer and Walmart for your generous donations and support. Community partners like you help make events like this possible and allow us to continue providing opportunities for local youth to learn, grow, and play the game they love.

👮‍♂️A special thank you to the Three Rivers Police Department and the St. Joseph County officers who joined us and jumped right into the fun. Your willingness to engage with our community, support our youth, and even get involved in the pie-throwing excitement made the evening extra special. The kids absolutely loved it, and those moments are ones they’ll remember for years to come.

🥧 To all of our coaches who bravely took their seats in the splash zone…thank you for being such good sports. Whether you won the voting competition or simply became a target for excited players, your willingness to participate brought endless joy and laughter to our soccer families.

⚽ Most importantly, thank you to our amazing AYSO families, players, volunteers, and supporters. Every pie purchased, every meal ordered, every vote cast, and every laugh shared helps strengthen our program and allows us to continue creating opportunities for children throughout our community.

Looking through these photos, it’s impossible not to smile. From our young helpers working hard inside Culver’s, to the excitement of pieing coaches, to the officers standing alongside our volunteers, this event was a perfect example of what community and family is all about.

😂 POP QUIZ TIME! 😂

🔍 How many canopies do you see in this picture?

A) Not enough
B.) A few soccer families staying cool
C) Every canopy sold within a 50-mile radius
D) We accidentally started a canopy convention

⚽️ If you guessed “all of them,” you’re probably a soccer parent!

The best part? You can always tell where the soccer families are… just look for the giant row of shade structures, folding chairs, coolers, snacks, and enough sunscreen to survive a week in the desert.

Drop your canopy count below! 👇 Bonus points if you can correctly identify your family’s “temporary summer residence” on the sidelines. 🏕️⚽️💜

🏆 TOURNAMENT DAY IS HERE! ⚽️💜

Good luck to all of our Three Rivers AYSO teams competing today!

Remember, today is about more than wins and losses. It’s about teamwork, sportsmanship, effort, growth, and representing our community with pride. Play hard, encourage your teammates, respect your opponents and referees, and most importantly have fun!

We are incredibly proud of every player, coach, referee, volunteer, and family who helped make this season possible. Whether you’re stepping onto the field for your first tournament match or your last game of the season, give it everything you’ve got and leave the field knowing you gave your best effort.

Wildcats, play with heart. Play with confidence. Play for each other.

💜🖤 GO WILDCATS! 🖤💜
