Top 12 Reasons to Play for Banat Soccer Club

12. Yellow unis make refs change.

11.White team players are just as likely to make our Gold teams as players from other clubs. Ponder that.

10. When players leave our club, they come back. Really ponder that one.

9. We get our uniforms from Soccer Master. The name alone is dripping with superiority.

8. Our club registrar rocks. Since you began reading, she registered an entire team.

7. Banat coaches wear yellow tees at practice to help identify them. Unintended benefit is that they attract insects, keeping bugs away from players.

6. Banat goalkeeping coach is Bear. Ask anyone who has been around Arizona soccer for longer than five minutes.

5. Merge? Sure, from the Loop 101 onto other freeways on our way to matches.

4. Banat managers’ motto: “If it stands still laminate it, if it moves make sure it shows up on time.”

3. No coaches’ last names to distinguish teams. People have enough trouble pronouncing Banat properly. (It’s BUH-not, thanks.)

2. Cute tournament check-in routines are prohibited. No, really, they are.


And the NUMBER ONE reason…….

Playing and coaching legend Willie Watson coaches and sings here. He gets rave reviews for his coaching, and his singing, umm, brings a tear to your eye.
