Publicity

Let the everyone know about your team! Submit scores and game highlights to some of the area's newspapers:

Daily Herald

The Daily Herald probably provides the most comprehensive reporting of area youth soccer games of any local publication. Fortunately, they have made it very easy to send in write-ups:: you can fill in the form below with the pertinent information, click "submit story" and it goes straight to their Sports Department! Remember, to increase the chances of publication, keep the tone positive (i.e., don't write poorly of the opponents), mention as many kids by name as possible (not just the goal scorers) and be concise! Good luck! (Click here to see how others have written up their games)
