  1. Tremendous group of kids who have worked hard all season. Kudos to their parents for transporting them all over the state on Sundays for games. Second year in a row this team has been in the state finals. Very special group of kids.

  2. Thank you, Darren. Because of your coaching style, you are setting a high standard of coaching excellence for this area. Not only are your players educated about the game, but they are expected to exhibit exceptional sportsmanship qualities and above all else, work together as a team.

  3. Congrats to the kids and the coaches (parents as well). It has been a pleasure watching this group of kids develop as athletes and sportsmen/women. Darren and Glenn are truly exceptional coaches. We are looking forward to watching Sunday’s game.

  4. We Franklin County folk are lucky to have such a robust soccer club, in Western Maine United. Huge shout out to all the coaches who pursued certification through Soccer Maine, volunteer endless hours to coach our children, and who dedicate themselves to the pure love of the game. The lessons learned “on the pitch” are life lessons that will last well beyond childhood.
