| Designed to be a soccer mecca, Cowboys Stadium could host events
It is the game Americans call soccer and the rest of the world refers to as football. Turns out Jerry Jones may have built the grandest soccer stadium of them all right there in Arlington, Texas. That may be a culture shock to most. Imagine waking up one morning and finding the finest baseball park in the world sitting in Buenos Aires, Argentina, or Barcelona, Spain. .
Harry and Alex have given much of their time to kids' soccer
A strong foundation is what Harry Ayers and Alex Hilton gave the Burlington soccer community for many years. They have been fundamental in the establishment of Burlington as a hot bed of soccer in Canada and North America. Harry and Alex knew that success on the playing field depended on laying the groundwork. They believed it was realized by teaching young players basic soccer skills and by sharing their experience, time and love of the game. They knew how to build a foundation one player at a time. It seems that Harry and Alex have coached almost every player in Burlington at one time or another. They've been at it since the early 1970's. Even as spectators, they coached, always positive when offering suggestions or improvements to the players, coaches and parents.
