The early bird deadline is July 14 for the Aug. 18 tournament.
Registration is now open for the sixth annual Schwinger Memorial 4v4 Tournament. The fundraiser honors Joe Schwinger, a former Woodridge Storm Coach who died in a 2007 car accident at the age of 44. Schwinger helped the Woodridge Storm develop into what it has become today, said his wife, Alice. Soccer wasn’t Joe Schwinger’s initial sport-of-choice for his two sons. As a college baseball player, he first encouraged his children to play baseball. But they didn’t want to play baseball. They wanted to play soccer. So Schwinger started coaching soccer with Woodridge Storm. He came from a soccer family – his cousin is Willy Roy, a member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Cindy Kinnaman started as the soccer tournament to help Alice …

DGN, DGS aiming for confidence-boosting victory in Thursday's crosstown match with postseason right around the corner.
Neither Downers Grove North or Downers Grove South has been lighting the soccer world on fire this fall, but both sides will be stoked when they meet at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in their annual battle for crosstown bragging rights. The host Mustangs are 5-7-2 while the Trojans are just 3-11-1, but that doesn’t mean the intensity will be any less than last year, when both teams came into the game ranked. “No matter what the records are, it’s going to be a high-energy game,” Downers South coach Jon Stapleton said. “It’s two hungry teams. It’s the end of September and you don’t think about the end of the year but you’re talking about only two weeks until the playoffs, so you’re trying to get a little momentum heading into the state tournament.” …

Downers South soccer team beats nationally ranked Chaminade en route to second place at Great Midwest Classic.
Downers Grove South is hoping Jack Freko scores many more goals in his high school soccer career, but it’s going to be tough for the sophomore forward to top his first in importance. Freko scored the only goal of the game in the Mustangs’ stunning 1-0 upset of nationally ranked Chaminade, the perennial Missouri power, last Saturday in the semifinals of the 15th annual Great Midwest Classic in Indianapolis. “He was in the middle third of the field, got a pass from left wing, took a touch and took an early shot on goal and kind of a floater and the keeper was off his line and [Jack] chipped it,” Downers South coach Jon Stapleton said. “So it was kind of nice recognition on his part to put it on frame.” The goal, which came early in the …
