The Ottumwa Elementary School Soccer
League
On six Fridays in the Fall and six Fridays in
the Spring, teams from participating elementary schools meet each other
to play soccer between 3:30 and 4:30.
Each season culminates with a tournament to determine a champion.
The Eisenhower Generals won the first trophy in the Fall of 1999;
the Seton Saints were the champions during the Spring of 2000; Horace
Mann won the trophy in the Fall of 2000; Lincoln took the trophy in the Spring
of 2001; the Eisenhower Generals were the champs again in the Fall of
2001; Douma took the championship in the Spring of 2002 and the OCS/Seton
(Ottumwa Christian School) team won the tournament in the Fall of 2002.
The Friday after-school elementary soccer program is free for all
participants. Volunteers
from each school are responsible for organizing the teams; the Ottumwa
Soccer Club takes care of the rest: schedule, referees, trophy, etc.
Until the Fall of 2002, six schools participated each season:
Wilson, Douma, Lincoln, Horace Mann, Seton and Eisenhower.
The Christian School took Wilson’s place in the Fall of 2001.
