The Fall 2008 season saw 91 teams participating at the Recreational, Challenge, and Classic levels. This was our first season fielding Classic
teams and we had a record number of players (829) participating at all levels. In addition to regular season play, many of our teams participated in tournaments
across the state while our Recreation teams had another exciting end of season tournament/festival. The Fall 2008 season also saw the extremely
successful launch of our TopSoccer program for special needs children and our U9 Select program. 30 coaches
earned some type of coaching certification, from Youth I up through
the National Youth License.

Avoid the SPAM Trap! Please be sure to add 'mebanesoccer.us' as an acceptable domain or add
'webmaster@mebanesoccer.us', 'president@mebanesoccer.us', and your coach and manager's email, once you know them,
to your ISP address book/whitelist to help ensure our emails get delivered! This is especially important for AOL
and Earthlink users! Many of our emails are blocked by 'opt-in' SPAM filters people use that require them to add
us before our emails get delivered. Otherwise you may not get team
assignment notices, coach emails, weather alerts, passwords for new accounts, etc. An even better option is to
start using Gmail for
email (It's free!). They handle SPAM fighting in a much more sensible way and we have no issues getting email to accounts they
run. Plus you'll have a permanent email address that goes with you even if you change ISPs.
REMEMBER! If you switch email providers, be sure to update your Parent
