Program Lends a Helping Foot to Soccer Players
So many times players and coaches forget where they come from, where they
started and how they got where they are. Wheeling Jesuit University soccer
coach Jim Regan doesn't want that to happen to his players. "We,
as a university, need to give back to the community and support them as
much as they support us," Regan said. To show his gratitude, Regan
and the rest of his Cardinals have teamed with the Wheeling Area Soccer
Association, Inc. (WASA), in their efforts to promote soccer at a young
age. This fall, more 500 kids are registered to play for WASA.
