The following announcement was provided by the Rush Raiders Football Club:
The newly formed Rush Raiders Football Club closed their fall season this month with strong performances across their three teams: Girls U12, Boys U11, and Boys U10.
The soccer squads competed in the New England Club Soccer League, playing other club teams across Massachusetts and New Hampshire under the direction of Club Director Frank Cacia and coaches Dan D’Amico, Zerek Bianchi, and Justin Makisimu.
This was the inaugural year for the Girls U12 team, made up of 4th-6th graders from Watertown. The girls worked hard from the start and have a lot of potential to build for the future. Both the U11 and U10 boys, made up of almost all Watertown 3rd-5th graders, ended the fall season with undefeated 8-0 records and recently competed in the Pre-Thanksgiving Invitational hosted by Juventus Academy Boston.
