NNHS Girls Soccer Senior Sheets
My daughter went to the Newton North High School Girls’ Soccer Team game that honored their graduating seniors. Her town soccer coach happens to be Brian Rooney, the Newton North Boys and Girls Varsity soccer coach from 2000 to 2009.
He said that the tradition of creating these beautiful sheets had begun long before he was the coach. The underclassmen on the team spend four hours every weekend starting in September until this final game to make this sheets. My daughter’s Bolts club coach happens to be a Newton North High School graduate, Alessia Viscomi, and she says that her sheet hangs in a place of prominence in her home and is something that she treasures.
If you look at each sheet closely, each team member writes a special note to each graduating senior. In addition, some of the artistically talented soccer players create artwork that reflects each senior. There are probably lots of inside jokes that we don’t get but that is what makes it so special.
What a beautiful labor of love!
After I showed Alessia this post, she was kind enough to send me photos of her sheet and her older sister’s who also played soccer for Newton North High School. You can see how the sheets evolved over the years and how treasured they are!
