The Men's soccer team is preparing once more for a new and exciting season. The team is always optimistic, but they are also very cautious. They have 14 players returning from a championship squad, and they are also adding some incredible recruits to the team that show a high level of technical ability and tactical awareness in training and friendlies.

 

Head coach Jeff Paulus shares more about the new team players:

"It is the deepest group of first-year players we have seen in some time." 

 

The chemistry the team has is something we can't overlook, considering 14 returning players; they have created a culture within the group, where athletes enjoy themselves and the sport itself. That is vital for having a team in its best condition, which in turn makes the goals easier to achieve.

 

One major goal that can become a challenge for any team is keeping everyone happy. Having two players for each position, given the amount of talent on the roster, is not an easy task, which is why the men's soccer team is always raising their own game. And with an excellent preseason training camp that encourages the growth of the program with new and fresh faces, there is no doubt that the men's soccer team will shine in all aspects this new season. The NAIT Ooks men's soccer team hits the pitch on Saturday, September 6th at 2:15 PM at the Strathcona Athletic Park.
