Coast FA returned to the beach with five championship and one finalist trophy from the Discoveries Rock Hill Classic. The teams battled two hundred seventy five teams from across the Southeast to claim their honors. Field conditions were pristine but blazing sunshine made for tough conditions throughout the event. “ To return home with five championships is a terrific result for the club and a testament to the players hard work during training ” said Coast Director of Coaching Joel Banta.
