"Chicago is a difficult market to draw from," said Droege. "When we {day good we get more fans, and we usually pick up a few more around play-off time.

If we can do that, there's a good chance they will stick with the sport." The students practiced con­ trolling the soccer ball through learn was juggling the ball. "Juggling, is handling the ball with different parts of the body (feet, thighs, and head), keeping it off the ground," explained dribbling and passing drills.
