Daytona State Hosts 4th Annual Florida East Coast Senior Classic
March 23rd
The 4th Annual Florida East Coast Senior Classic was held at Daytona State College on March 23rd. The event hosted the top players from the area and gave them a first-class venue to showcase their talents in front of their families and friends one last time before they graduate.
The players had a great time at the classic and expressed their thoughts during interviews after the match.
"The All-Star game was a great experience. Being able to play against some of the best kids from our area is a big deal and it was very fun. The facilities at Daytona State are top class and we had a perfect pitch to be able to play on which is always great. It was the best ending to a long 4 years of high school."

Not only did the players have a great time, the coaches at the classic were also very pleased with the venue and experience.
"The 4th Annual Florida East Coast Senior All-Star Game showcases local boys soccer players and gives them an opportunity to play with and against the area's top players. We were extremely excited to partner with Daytona State College and their soccer program to host this event in their outstanding facility. The field was exquisite, the video board first class and it is clearly the premier venue in the area. We cannot express enough the gratitude for allowing us to host the event here this year and look forward to continuing this partnership into the future. Thank you sincerely for the investment in the community and allowing us to send off these young men off in style!"
