We are now declaring teams for the second indoor session at the Force. If you are currently on a team, please email your team coach and/or manager and let them know if you are playing second indoor session (January->March).

If you are NOT currently on a team and wish to join a team for the second session, email and let us know what team you played on in the Fall.

We need this information by 5pm Wednesday, Dec 2nd!

We have moved the website to our new hosting provider. There may be some glitches as we make sure everything is working, but this will provide us with more stable hosting (It doesn't depend on a 10-year-old recycled computer in my house anymore!)

Bear with us as we make the change...

ESK Alum Jared Alcorn scored the game-winning goal in double overtime in the first round playoff game between Cleveland Hts High School and Chardon.

Another family in our Eastside Kickers community has had a great loss. The Murphys lost their son Daniel this last weekend. Daniel's sister is a member of our U10 girl's team.

We extend our deepest sympathies to the family and ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers. The team canceled their game on Sunday to allow the Murphys and their friends and teammates to gather together at this tragic time.

The Eastside Kickers community extends our deepest sympathies to one of our own families. Carmela "Lilly" Marfella Scivittaro passed away suddenly on Wednesday the 16th. She was a valued member of our community, a dedicated volunteer, and mother of two of our players. She will be deeply missed.

The U11 division 1 boys team, with substitute coaches and guest players from the other U11 team, played Chagrin Falls in Chagrin on Wednesday evening. An extremely tough and well-played game ended at 1-1 after the Heights team dominated play for most of the game. The game featured a late, unstoppable goal by Chagrin Falls and 2 penalty kicks, one stopped by goalkeeper Andrew and one, with no time left in the game, pushed just wide to the left to preserve the tie.

Everyone stepped up on this game and played their hearts out. Jordan scored his second ESK goal on a breakaway in the first half, slotting the ball shortside after outrunning the defense.

Thanks to Jack, Jeremy, Evan and Nick (from the U10 team!) who came to provide substitutes. Also, welcome back to Charlie E., returning from a broken arm!

Despite going 12-3 in their last 15 games, the U12 Boys earned their first clean-sheet in that period, defeating Mayfield 3-0. Will Meyer and Corey Griffith combined in goal for the shut-out. Griffith, James Sophia and Drew Seifert all netted goals in a game played mostly on Mayfield's side of the pitch.
