Now 19 Star Players Heading To Play College Soccer! 04/30/2012 09:48 AM http://www.roanokestar.com/home/597215.html ***Update Wednesday April 18th*** Roanoke Star U18 Girls Premier player Dakota Duckworth has made it the 18th Star player to commit to a college soccer program by signing for Bluefield College.

***Update Wednesday April 4th*** U18 Girls Elite goalkeeper, Morgan Lawson, has become the 17th member of Roanoke Star to commit to college soccer. Lawson will attend Kings College in the Fall. To view the signing and see an interview with Lawson, please

***Update Wednesday February 15th*** The list just keeps on getting bigger! Roanoke Star U18 Boys Premier defender Cameron Janney has committed to Concord University with the signing taking place this Friday February 17th at 11am.

Martin Smith, Assistant Director of Coaching, who oversee’s the Star Premier Program, was thrilled to hear the news "This is fantastic for Cameron. Although I only worked with Cameron for a season (Fall 2011 - Janney’s final season at Star), it was evident to me that he had what it takes to get to that next level. Cameron never let me or the team down, gave 110% effort in every game and was an integral part of our back four. He was also a bit of a character and always played with a smile". Smith went on to add "With Cameron committing to Concord and Kelli Kitchens committing to Shenandoah University, it also goes to show our Premier Program continues to develop quality players who have gone on to play for good college programs".

Roanoke Star Soccer Club is proud to announce our class of 2012 college signings. These players will not only be furthering their academic education, they will be competing for their respective colleges and universities on the soccer field. Congratulations to our graduating class! “We are very happy for our players, it just goes to show with hard work, determination and being a part of a great soccer environment you can accomplish great things in this sport and in the classroom.” –Toye Oshoniyi, Assistant Director of Coaching, U18 Boys Head Coach

Over on the girls side, four female Roanoke Star players also committed to colleges and universities, sending the amount of committments to 14. Heather Reynolds (Roanoke College), Kaylan Stanley (Lees Mcrae), Taylor Wiseman (Ferrum College) and Kelli Kitchens (Shenandoah University) will all be representing their new universities on the field.

It is also worth noting that our U18 Girls Elite team consists of mostly U17 players and all players on that team are currently in the process of officially visiting colleges or making decisions on what colleges to attend.

Director of Coaching, Graham Maclean was very proud of all the Star players and had this to say on the graduating class of 2012 – “The 2012 year has been very successful both on and off the field. We are extremely pleased that so many of our graduating class are moving on to play college soccer but we are also very proud of the number of players who will be attending great colleges and universities around the USA. To have at least 16 players go on to play college soccer is a hugely significant number and is testament to the quality work at Roanoke Star.”

Players, parents and coaches headed over to AMF Hilltop Lanes, Williamson Road on a Friday evening to see whether there were any great bowlers hiding in our club!

Everyone had a lot of fun and the event allowed players to get together away from the soccer fields for some team building! Assistant Director of Coaching, Martin Smith, who also heads up the Premier program said "We held the bowling event over two Fridays, one for U11-U12 players and one for U13-U14 players. Both nights had a tremendous turn out and we all had a lot of fun. It was great to see the players get together before the season starts and there was even some fun banter with the coaches challenging the players to bowling competitions".

Smith finished up by thanking AMF Hilltops for hosting us before saying "Due to the success of the nights and the great time everyone had, we’ve decided to do another social event in June. This time we’ll be going to DC to watch DC United play in the MLS which also promises to be a fun night!".

You can still purchase tickets for the DC United event by contacting Martin at msmith@roanokestar.com.
