Mark Ormond, if you are reading this. How about an update on your original Clubbers team. They are all juniors, and many of them star on their high school teams. I know Charlie McElveen is crushing the ball for Loyola. Burrage is doing well also at St. Rita. It would be intersting to hear how those guys are doing. You can leave out my kid. I know how he is doing.

The Clubbers were fortunate to have some of the best youth players in the area playing during the years 2002-2005. The team was further distinguished with top coaching and the ability to play at premier venues which included the North Field and Les Miller Field at the University of Illinois - Chicago, Ed Glancy Field at Illinois Institute of Chicago and Cubs Care Field.

Many individuals contributed to the present day success of these players, including Dave Rosene, J.P. Carey and Ted Krga and many others. I watch with interest all of the Clubbers alumni players.

If you were a player, coach or parent associated with any of the Clubbers team's feel free to contribute.

I guess I am the only one interested in this, so I will write to myself.
The 12 year ols Clubber line-up and where they are.

Tim Parsons: ?
Paul Rambaud: ?
Angelo Burrage: Star at St. Rita
Josh Levy: All-coference as a Soph at Niles North, having a great year

Nick Riacco: ?
