The spring season is coming to a close so very very quickly. I am grateful for the time and effort put forth by coaches, players and parents this year. Collectively, our dedication to the CE soccer experience allowed our passion for the game of soccer to shine brightly on the training and game fields, during SAQ and in the player, parent and coach education presentations.

Classics Eagles Senior Spotlight: Sarina Dirrig

The Classics Eagles are privileged to have so many gifted players and outstanding students and persons as part of our soccer family!  Below is an interview with one of them,  Sarina Dirrig.   Best wishes to you Sarina in the coming weeks and months as you experience big changes in your life!   



Classics Eagles : Where did you attend high  school and where are you going to college?
Sarina: I attended Olentangy Liberty High School and will be playing soccer at Ohio University this fall  
 
CE: What will you be studying in college? 
Sarina: I got into the Scripps School of Journalism at OU and I'll be majoring in journalism.  
 
CE: What is a favorite Classics Eagles memory?
Sarina: My favorite memory from my time with Classics Eagles was winning a state championship in 2015. We had lost in the final the year before to KHA, and in a rematch the next year we beat them in penalties, and it was such a fun an amazing experience that I was able to share with my best friends.
   
CE: What advice do you have for younger players who want to play soccer in college?
Sarina: My advice to someone who wants to play college soccer is to always work hard but remember to have fun. Take advantage of all of the opportunities that Classics Eagles provides you to become a better player. Also, always try to be a leader not only on the field but off the field as well. Colleges will not only pay attention to you as a player but they'll notice the choices you are making off the field and in school too.   
Recognize To Recover: What You Need To Know About Concussions

The United States Soccer Federation has rolled out a comprehensive player health and safety program called Recognize to Recover. This purpose of this program is to promote safe play and reduce injuries in soccer players of all ages. Recognize to Recover was developed with a goal of providing coaches, players, parents and referees with information, guidance and educational materials to aid in the prevention and management of injuries.
 
Always a hot topic in the soccer community, Recognize to Recover has created resources to help soccer players, coaches, parents and referees identify and seek treatment for concussions. Recognize to Recover realizes that concussions can be difficult to spot on the field, especially for those who are not trained medical professionals. U.S. Soccer created Recognize to Recover resources that will help coaches, players, parents and referees identify the signs and symptoms of concussion and immediately take action with the appropriate treatment.
 
Check out this video and review these key points to ensure that if your athlete goes down with a head injury, you can RECOGNIZE the severity of the injury and seek medical attention so your player can RECOVER to their fullest potential.
