Basketball Team
Soccer Club Merriconeag's Soccer Club (MSC) is an intramural co-ed team for high schoolers. MSC was formed in the summer of 2011 and played its first season in the fall. Success in developing soccer skills and having fun marked our first season. The team consisted of 14 players and concluded the season with a convincing rout of the faculty in the final game of the year. In 2012 we look forward to continued success with the possibility of playing other schools as the program grows. The Coaches for the team are Mark Leavitt, Gordon Haldeman (parents)and Ingrid Merrill (faculty) and the team Manager is Patty Carton (parent). Practices are about an hour and a half three times a week, September through October, with a nominal player fee. Please feel free to contact us through the school or email Patty at pattyjcarton@gmail.com if you have questions or want your child to join the team.

In the game against Fryeburg, Merriconeag Ultimate (MU) did not give up! They were down 7-1 early and fought hard and with a lot of heart to end the season with a 15-10 loss.
