Strengths/Question Marks:  Strong sense of team unity and working together will help move this young team in a positive direction.

Outlook:  “Pennsbury hopes to stay competitive in a very exciting and challenging league.  The team is aware that is has become increasingly difficult to make playoffs and will need to have a strong showing in the league in order to extend its post-season goals.   Aside, from soccer goals, the team is also trying to contribute more to the community through a variety of volunteer opportunities and fundraisers.  In the end, Pennsbury would like to stay positive on the soccer field as well as in the community.”
