A spokesperson for the John Smith Soccer Academy said, “John Smith Soccer Academy started in 2009 with four teams; as of the spring of 2014, we will be fielding 29 teams.

“We have 13 boys teams and 16 girls teams that range in age from under 9 up to under 17. These teams will be playing in two of the top premier leagues in the state of Massachusetts this spring.

“We are bringing two boys teams to Bermuda, an under 12 and under 14 team. The under 12 Warriors team had a very successful season playing 8v8 last fall, finishing first in their division with a record of 8-0-1.

The under 14 Wanderers team also had a very good season playing 11v11, finishing in the top half of their division with a 3-4 record.”
