A Message from Coach

Last year was the first year for the Hanover Athletics day of giving and it was a massive success for Men’s Soccer!  Like always the Hanover Men’s Soccer community showed up and set records! We raised over $15,000!  These funds helped us do the following…

  1. Added a 2nd Assistant coach
  2. Added 5 Reserve team games
  3. Added a HUDL camera to the field for improved livestream and game analysis
  4. Resurfaced the game field with Bermuda grass, this was a  massive upgrade

These amazing upgrades are thanks to your continued support!  Just like we expect of our team, I know we can count on the Hanover Men’s Soccer supporters to show up and crush the standard that was set last year!  Your contribution goes directly to Men’s soccer and adds significant value to the experience of every Hanover Men’s Soccer player.  Our players appreciate the support and work hard every day to make the Hanover Men’s Soccer community proud!

Matt Wilkerson, Head Men's Soccer Coach
