Miamisburg Vikings

Many of you may think that you don't have what it takes to play college soccer.  DO NOT FALL INTO THIS MINDSET!  There are numerous opportunities to play college soccer.  The MHS coaching staff WILL help you through the process and try to aid you every step of the way. DO NOT WAIT until it's too late.  Ideally you should start the process your Sophomore year, with your Junior year being the biggest bulk of work in this process, but if you haven't started....then start now.

Also, listed below are links that will help you become educated about the process.  We encourage any of you interested to take some time WITH your parents to go through all these links or print them off so you can read them later. It seems like a long process, and it is, but with some work you can learn how to market and package yourself and we can get started.  Anyone interested in playing at the next level should contact Coach Matt to discuss your options.  Email him for questions or to set up a meeting ( msundermann@miamisburg.k12.oh.us ).  You can do this!
