2008 Adidas College Showcase, Dallas TX 

Our U16 & U17 EGSC Boys Premier Team just returned home from a very successful showcase in Dallas , TX .

Rain, wind, cold and snow couldn’t keep our boys away from the training pitch to prepare for this showcase. Coach Spielmann (DOC) was very proud of the way the boys handled themselves on and off the field and they represented the EGSC with pride and dignity. “We showed the country that we belonged in such a competitive showcase and we can play with anybody”

The Elm Grove Soccer Club (EGSC) is pleased to announce the addition of Bob Gansler to the coaching staff. 

Widely regarded as a pioneer of modern American soccer, Coach Gansler was head coach of the United States National Team from 1989-1991 and guided our country to the 1990 World Cup, the first appearance in 40 years.  As a result of Coach Gansler’s vision and foresight, the United States has been a fixture at every World Cup since. 

After settling in Milwaukee as a youth, Coach Gansler made his mark on the local scene as a player and coach with the Bavarian Soccer Club, whom he led to a US Amateur Cup championship.  Coach Gansler established the Marquette High School soccer program in 1973 and coached UW-Milwaukee from 1984 through 1988. 

Additionally, Coach Gansler was a fixture as a player with the United States National Team in the 1960’s.  He captained the Americans at the 1964 and 1968 Olympics as well as at the 1967 Pan American games. 

Coach Gansler’s professional coaching resume includes the Milwaukee Rampage of the USL A-League (1996-1998), the Kansas City Wizards of MLS (1999-2006) and Toronto FC of MLS (2006 and 2007.)  Coach Gansler won a league title with Milwaukee in 1997 and won the MLS Cup in 2000 and the US Open Cup in 2004, both with Kansas City. 

EGSC Director of Coaching, Bob Spielmann, is very proud and excited to have Coach Gansler on board.  Said Coach Spielmann, “Coach Gansler brings a wealth of soccer knowledge and has been very successful at every level he has coached.  His main focus in Elm Grove will be coaching and player development.  Coach Gansler will certainly help our coaches become better technical and tactical teachers of the game thereby helping all of our players improve.” 

In recognition of his achievements, honors bestowed upon Coach Gansler include the Walt Chyzowych Award (2000), the MLS Coach of the Year Award (2000), and induction into the Milwaukee Rampage and United Soccer Leagues Halls of Fame (2002.) 

In addition to his work with EGSC, Coach Gansler remains a consultant for the Wisconsin Olympic Development Program and the United States Soccer Federation.



U14 Select Team at the Racine Lighthouse Tournament

The U14 Select team faced a extremely strong side from Wauwatosa.  Right from the gate it was a back and forth match with many scoring opportunities. At the end of the match, both teams were still in 0-0 deadlock. To decide the winner we headed into penalty kicks. It came down to the fifth shooter for each team and when the Tosa Kickers player hit the post all we had to do was get one more in the back of the net. In true Elm Grove Soccer Club fashion, our boys kept their composure and put the final shot in the back of the net. Victorious over all of their competition, the boys celebrated their well deserved victory on the field. It was a great experience for all.


Three Football Legends


For the first time since June 2005 the Elm Grove Soccer Club hosted a game in the Village Park.  The above picture is of Coach McNamara and the U11 boys premier team just prior to kickoff on Saturday, September 27th

The Village Park has been closed for the better part of 3 ½ years due to a flood management reconstruction project.  While the project is completed, the U11/U12 fields adjacent to the pond and library proved to be the only fields playable as of the beginning of the fall season.  The park is open for general use but the club has kept closed the space on the north end of the park for soccer usage to ensure the surface is ready for the rigors of soccer playing.  To further this process, the club recently facilitated a three-step fertilization and over-seeding program to be completed before snowfall.


U-14 Girls Premier wins 

Croatian Eagles All Girls Tournament

ELM GROVE SUMMER TRAINING A HUGE SUCCESS 

The Elm Grove Soccer Club summer training sessions came to an end Thursday July 31. The program started Tuesday July 1 and was very successful attracting an average of 60 players a session on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The players ranged from U14 – U17 and attracted both boys and girls competing against each other. According to Coach Spielmann the DOC of Coaching for the EGSC “this was a great opportunity for the players to experience a real club atmosphere and environment. I could not believe how many players didn’t know each other, but at the end you could see the friendship, respect and pride they had for their peers and the EGSC. It gave the younger player a chance to emulate some of the older players, it gave the girls a chance to match up with the boys and play quicker, and it gave the older boys and girls a chance to be leaders on and off the field. I was very happy and proud of the ways things went, hopefully all the players will support each other when we go to tournaments or league play”. 

Sophie Bice (MF/GK) plays for the U14G Premier team under the guidance of Coach Kosmider said “it was a lot of fun, the younger players were challenged against the older players and their were a lot of good role models on the field."  Sophie also said it helped her play quicker and it was great to meet new players and coaches from the club. She was impressed that the club has a lot of really good players. 

Jack McDermott (MF) Co-Captain U17B Premier team that plays under the direction of Coach Huwiler said “it was very good especially right before the high school season to keep their game up and also felt it was good with for the young players to improve their game by following some of the examples of the older players on the field and it also gave the older players a chance to be leaders”. 

I wish all the players the best of luck with the upcoming fall season.
