WINDSOR, Ont. - The St. Clair College Department of Athletics
and Recreation is excited to announce they will be adding two new
varsity teams to its extensive list of programs for next
season.
The Saints will be joining Ontario Colleges Athletic Association
(OCAA) men's and women's indoor soccer. Indoor soccer is a
tournament sport in the OCAA which consists of a regional
qualifying tournament followed by the OCAA championships. Teams
also take part in invitational tournaments leading up to the
regionals. Both the men's and women's teams will be coached by the
current outdoor coaching staffs. The women will be led by 10-year
veteran Dan Docherty and the men by 21-year
veteran Mike Baraslievski. The outdoor league
season runs in the fall while the indoor runs during the winter
semester.
Both coaches are very excited to add indoor soccer as it will
enhance and improve the outdoor program significantly. "Being able
to keep our soccer athletes together and active throughout the
entire school year will have a huge impact both on and off the
field," stated Baraslievski.
Docherty is also looking forward to the addition. "Having indoor
soccer now will bring our soccer programs at St. Clair on par with
the top OCAA soccer colleges in Ontario. Along with our scholarship
program no other college can offer more to a potential soccer
student athlete than St. Clair."
With the addition of these two new teams, St. Clair College now
has 18 varsity programs competing in the OCAA. Along with indoor
and outdoor soccer for both men and women St. Clair offers men's
and women's golf; men's and women's cross country running; men's
and women's badminton; men's and women's curling; men's baseball;
women's fastball; men's and women's volleyball; and men's and
women's basketball.
