Topeka Select Storm after their game against Colegios Columbia XI at the USA Cup in Blaine, MN	July 19, 2008 - Topeka Select teams fared well at last week's USA Cup played at the National Sports Center in Blaine, Minnesota. The U11 Girls Jazz made it through to the semi-final round where they lost in a PK heartbreaker to PQ Premier White from San Diego, CA. The U11 Boys Storm met stiff competition throughout the tournament but played well and made the playoffs.
In the first round, the Storm scored scoring early in the match but was unable to hold back Minnesota's Bangu Tsunami Blue who scored twice in the final minutes to claim a 2-1 victory. It was a great week of soccer and a memorable experience for both Topeka Select teams. Congratulations to both the Jazz and the Storm!

Rockets Accepted Into the Midwest Regional League Best Teams...Best Players...Best Competition

July 16, 2008 - The Topeka Select Rockets U17 Girls have earned a spot in this year's Midwest Regional League.  The MRL only accepts the top teams in the midwest, so this is major accomplishment for the Rockets.

"Teams earn the right to compete in the MRL based on play within their own State Association‘s competitions (thus receiving State Association approval); and must exhibit the level of play necessary to compete at the regional league level (review and approval of teams by the MRL).  Not all teams that apply are accepted into the MRL."

The Rockets will be joined in their division by top teams from Kansas City, St. Louis and Omaha.

New Topeka League A "Go"
Kickoff on August 23rd

Klaus is one of the most respected coaches in the area and we are thrilled to have him back with Topeka Select.  For players, coaches and families of all our teams, his knowledge and experience will be very helpful.

Please help us in welcoming back Klaus!
