SCORPIONS ALUM AVERY SNEAD SIGNS PROFESSIONAL DEAL IN NORWAY

Congratulations to Addi Eaton for being this months Scorpions Spotlight Player of the Month ! Addi was recognized by the club for her outstanding performances throughout this past fall, but also during her selection in representing the U12 US National Futsal team throughout the year. In Futsal, due to the limited space and speed of the game, your technical and tactical understanding must be at a high level. Therefore it comes as no surprise that Addi Eaton of the 2013 ECNL team succeeds on both the court and the field with her ability ! Her skill on the courts has earned her a place on the U12 US National Futsal team which she has been fortunate and proud to be apart of the past few seasons. "Every year she has been at the club, she has improved. Season after season, her commitment to be at every training, every game, every tournament and train everyday at home just shows her desire to want to play the game and be better each day. I am immensely proud of her journey so far and I can't wait to see how far she can push herself going forward. " - Ryan Gray "Addi's growth as a player over these past two years has been remarkable. She was tested and challenged last year by playing an age group up, and this year she has used that experience and determination to be one of the best players in the conference this fall season. We are really excited to see where she will be by the end of the winter and spring as she is working tremendously hard every day to improve." - Evan Burokas Congratulations on your selection, Addi! And also on being the December Spotlight Player of the Month! Click the link below to see Addi in action.

EDWIN DIAZ | COACH OF THE MONTH!

JAKUBICKA GETS INTERNATIONAL CALL

Girls ECNL Shine in Florida Showcase

Scorpions veteran Alivia Kelly has been preparing her whole life for this. Countless hours of practice. Hundreds of games. Who knows how many touches on the ball... millions? All leading to the call of her dreams-- a long-distance call with the chance to play professional soccer. Alivia signed last week with the Wellington Phoenix of Australia's Ninja A-League. The New Zealand club needs help in their defensive backfield, and Alivia is ready to fill that void. “It’s definitely not something I had on my bingo card for this month,” Kelly said. “But I’m very excited and I can’t wait to meet everyone and get started." Alivia was a cornerstone of the Scorpions 2001 ECNL team under club director Evan Burokas as the starting center back, but her Scorpions connection goes farther back than that. She's been a Scorpion since playing U7 for director Fred Marks way back in 2007. The club connection even extended into her high school play at Thayer Academy, where she hit the director trifecta, playing for Nick Rugnetta. “We could not be happier for Alivia,” said Burokas. “It’s a testament to her work ethic and desire. She has earned everything she’s gotten every step of the way.” Spotlight had the opportunity to ask Alivia some questions from across the globe. SS: What’s your earliest soccer memory? AK: My earliest soccer memory is my first coed soccer team coached by my parents and a team filled with my neighbors/best friends. All I remember is my team being super competitive at the ripe age of 6. I remember taking immense pride in keeping up with the boys on each team and ultimately is probably part of the reason I am a natural defender. SS: What’s your history with Scorpions? AK: I started at the club at U7 and remained a scorpion up until I departed to college at U18/U19, a crazy stat if you actually look into it. I remember playing for my town team at the old Scorpions Fieldhouse in Pembroke when Fred Marks came up to me and asked if I had any interest in joining the club. At the time, I was just a kid who loved to play and begged my parents to let me sign up. From there I had great pride in being a scorpion and played for Evan Burokas for my final years with a group of girls that I have remained close with since. SS: You were a scholar All-American at UNH. How did you make time for studies as a D1 scholarship athlete? AK: I have taken pride in my studies throughout my career because my parents have always placed an emphasis on being multifaceted from a young age. I graduated with a BS in Neuroscience and Behavior on a pre-med track and hope to become a PA after playing professionally. I feel incredibly lucky that I was able to be honored as a two time Scholar All American aside some of the best players in college soccer. This was a bittersweet moment in my career as I was able to reminisce on all the experiences that led me there. SS: Coaches have an amazing influence on kids’ growing up. Do you have an anecdote of a coach helping or pushing you to ‘level up’ and reach a potential that you didn’t know you had in you? AK: I was fortunate to play for a variety of coaches throughout my time at the club who all helped me grow my game in different ways. The dynamic on my team when I was a u9-u12 was integral to my development. Fred Marks did a great job at teaching us the most important parts of the game (first touch and passing) while also slipping in stories about life that helped us develop as both people and players. He often told us about how he wanted to be the lead guitarist in Pearl Jam but never wanted to put in the work. We often still laugh about some of these moments but they left us with lessons learned. SS: What was your reaction when you got the call? Who did you share the news with first? AK: When my agent called me and said I had a possible opportunity in the A league, I was pretty shocked initially. I had just come off a college season and wasn’t anticipating the immediate interest. But after speaking with my family about it, it was pretty clear that this was the move I wanted to make. An opportunity to grow my game in another country for my rookie season was very appealing. After speaking with some people about the club both internally and externally it was for sure a no brainer. I have been adjusting well to life in New Zealand and can’t wait to get started on the pitch! Congratulations Alivia! Good luck and play well!

Congratulations to Caleb Pongratz, Scorpions December Coach of the Month! Coach Caleb's teams in the MetroWest had strong showings this fall, with both his Boys 2014 White and 2013 Teal enjoying winning records, earning double-digit points in the process. His 2013 entry into the IFA Tournament went undefeated with two draws and a 3-0 win against Boston Vigor, ranked #30 in MA. We asked Coach Caleb to tell us about himself and his teams this fall: I am a 23-year-old from Hanover, Massachusetts, who currently resides in Boston, Massachusetts. “When I’m playing soccer, my primary position is left winger, center-attacking midfield or as a striker. I am a very adept right-footed goalscorer & am a versatile playmaker. This past fall season has proven to be a successful one. Coming into the group and not knowing any of the players, I had my work cut out for me as my main focus and goal was to learn the players, learn the system, and immediately look to add to and improve the development of each team that I worked with. My 2014 White team had a solid year in the Flight 2 South White, where we finished midtable with a 3W-3L-1D record. This group is a fun one. With a trio & a pair of kids on the team with the same name, the start was quite confusing, however, the results started to click and development of the players was quickly shown overtime. With our 3 losses coming by just 1 goal, they showed up and battled everytime they stepped on the field. Everyone in this group has shown progress on every aspect of the game and I could not be more proud of how their fall season concluded. My 2013 Teal team had a fantastic year in the Flight 3 MetroWest, where we finished top 3 in the league with a 5W-2L-1D record. This group is technically sound. With a fantastic defensive showing, allowing just 8 goals on the year, they showcased every aspect of the Scorpion way. Offensively, the group was exciting and always tended to express themselves going forward. It was extremely fun to assist to their growth but also to watch them play. I can confidently say that every single player has shown noticeable growth. My fall season came to an end this past weekend with a combination roster with six members from the 2013 Teal, six from the 2013 White & two members of my 2014 White team to take place in the IFA Tournament. The group battled to two well fought 1-1 against a local club and the #13 ranked team in Maine, where both games came down to the wire. The tournament concluded with our group facing a Flight 1 #30 ranked team in Massachusetts, where the boys battled to a 3-0 victory, to finish the tournament with a 1W-2D-0L record. Unfortunately, we missed out on the final, however, the battle and overall fight from this group showcased that the boys fight not only for me, but for themselves & for the club. This was probably my favorite result all season. Overall, my focus and goal as a coach is not only to teach these kids how to play and improve in soccer, but to also add a positive impact in the players’ lives. I want to add to their overall growth as a person, as a teammate, as a player, and as a friend. This will be done by teaching them skills that will add to their development on and off the field. My plan is adding life skills, discipline and much much more. I want to create an environment that is supportive. An environment where they can learn about the game, enjoy it, and reach their goals. Growing up, I remember every single coach I played for... My goal is to leave the same positive impact or a better impact than the coaches left on me as a player. That’s how every coach should be.”
