Spring 2009<br />
State's top student athletes<br />
named to play in <strong>Shodair</strong>'s<br />
10th annual Soccer Classic<br />
The <strong>Shodair</strong> Soccer<br />
Classic will kick off its tenth<br />
season this summer in Helena.<br />
The event begins mid-week<br />
with activities for players, and<br />
culminates with the men's and women's games on<br />
Saturday, July 25 at Nelson Stadium on the Carroll College<br />
campus in Helena.<br />
The Classic features top student athletes from high schools all<br />
across the state. Through a rigorous screening process, over<br />
60 outstanding young men and women are selected to play in<br />
the annual competition. In addition to having been selected<br />
as All-State and All-Conference high school players in Class<br />
AA or A, they have demonstrated academic achievement,<br />
leadership, and citizenship. The Classic also brings together<br />
a talented coaching staff from around the state to guide the<br />
teams and assure top-level competition.<br />
Players and coaches arrive at Carroll College on July 22 to<br />
begin practices and a variety of other activities leading up<br />
to the games. The high school players host aspiring young<br />
soccer all-stars in a free clinic for children ages 5 to 12 on<br />
Friday before the tournament. The event is especially<br />
popular with area youth, with close to 100 young players<br />
typically participating.<br />
The soccer classic is a benefit for <strong>Shodair</strong> <strong>Children's</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong><br />
and the important work it does for children and adolescents<br />
from communities throughout the state. <strong>Shodair</strong> is a vital<br />
resource for young Montanans with struggling mental health<br />
challenges, and the state's medical genetics program. Last<br />
year, the hospital provided more than $4 million dollars in<br />
uncompensated care for at-risk children and youth from<br />
around the state.<br />
The hospital is proud to offer this opportunity for gifted youth<br />
to pair athleticism with citizenship in an event where some<br />
of Montana's best young athletes help some of its neediest<br />
children. Financial support generated from events like the<br />
Soccer Classic and the <strong>Children's</strong> Miracle Network Telethon<br />
help assure that critically-needed services remain available<br />
for young Montanans in need of help.<br />
