East Citrus & West Citrus Soccer Clubs Merge

As of August 1, 2007; East Citrus Soccer Club in Inverness and West Citrus Soccer Club in Homosassa merged to form the Citrus United Soccer. 

The same faces you see working the concession stand, lining the field, and helping as field marshals will not change. Also, nothing will change when in comes to soccer schedules.  Kids who register with Citrus United will still decide if they want to play their games in Homosassa or Inverness. 

Why the change?  The merger allows both clubs to expand their soccer programs.  The merger brings more clarity and focus to the competitive teams.  It also allows both clubs to save some money when ordering necessities like field paint, uniforms, etc.
