Footy Fans of Northwest Florida!

What a tremendous weekend, full of soccer fun, we have awaiting us this weekend. Starting early tomorrow morning the soccer action and excitement kicks into gear at WaterSound, with the kick-off of US98 Soccer's and South Walton Montessori's Annual Soccer Party, the "Soccer by the Surf" Tournament! An outline of the entire weekend and what we can all look forward to enjoying is as follows:
  • "Soccer by the Surf": First-Kick is at 9:00 A.M., as two local teams, Soccer Academie INTER98 and A.C. Pinnacle Port "Pirates", square off in the first match of the weekend long Tournament. Championship will be at 2:30 on Sunday. Come on out and root for the home teams and enjoy the show!
  • "Summer at the Sound": This is The St. Joe Company's event that will be happening simultaneously with "Soccer by the Surf" on Saturday. Highlights includes live music, face painting, pool access, golf games, kayak/canoe explorations, and good eats to purchase from the Grille. A great compliment to The Tournament and fun for the whole family!
  • Panama City Pirates v. Mississippi Brilla: Enjoy how they do it professionally on Saturday night at 7:00PM at Gavlak Stadium (Arnold High School) in Panama City Beach. Please purchase your tickets from us at WaterSound on Saturday, as the profit generated goes towards the fundraising.
  • Panama City Pirates v. US98 "LandLubbers": [FONT=verdana,geneva]12 Roster Spots on the US98 LandLubbers Team will be sold prior to this Charity Match, raffled at the Pirates v. Brilla Match on Saturday Night, and auctioned off at Beef O' Brady's in Panama City Beach after the Pirates Match on Saturday Night. If you are interested in purchasing a spot on the roster, contact us at
  • [/EMAIL][FONT=verdana,geneva]. If you are interested in purchasing a raffle ticket, you may do so at the "Soccer by the Surf" Tournament or at the Pirates v. Brilla Match. Winners will be announced immediately following the match, and you must be in attendance to win. If you are interested in participating in the auction for a spot on the roster (and helping raise money for two non-profit programs that enrich Our Greater South Walton Youth), meet us after the Pirates v. Brilla Match at Beef O'Brady's Family Sports Pub, located at 13800 Panama City Beach Parkway, Panama City Beach, FL32407.[/FONT]
  • Jason Thompson's "Soccer by the Surf" Shirt Fundraiser: On a much more serious note, we found out this week that Soccer Academie INTER98 and A.C. U-12 Coach, and fantastic volunteer, Jason Thompson has been diagnosed with cancer (they think either testicular or lymphoma), and he is currently at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. Those who have seen Jason drop roughly 30 pounds over the Spring Season knew something was certainly wrong, but we had no idea it was of this magnitude. Jason is 28 years old, self-employed, and has no insurance. In an effort to kick-off local fundraising on his behalf, Resource-1 is designing a "Soccer by the Surf" Tournament T-Shirt to sell this weekend at WaterSound, with all proceeds going towards Jason, his fight against cancer, and his eventual recovery. If for no other reason than to show Greater South Walton's support and appreciation of this young man who really did dedicate and volunteer so much of his time to us, please come out to The Tournament and purchase a shirt to help Jason. He has reached out to us and the community for help, and we'll do everything we can not to let him down. We plan on helping organize other fundraisers on Jason's behalf, but we hope this will be a good start!
Check out the updated website (and logos too, at [URL="http://www.us98soccer.com/"]www.us98soccer.com[/URL], as Billy Johnson rocked the new, improved style for us!) for Match Times & Events, and a detailed breakdown of what is happening this weekend with the Tournament. Thank you everyone for your participation, involvement, support, and help in making US98 Soccer what it has become in just 1 1/2 short years, and what it will continue to evolve into in the future.

Cheers & See You Out By The Pitch, at WaterSound on Saturday and Sunday!
