| Seminole Super Clubs Spring Break Tournament (March 17th, 18th, 2001)

All three games ended in victories for the Kickers. Scores: vs Miami - Coral Estates Rams (2 - 1), vs Parkland (2 - 1), vs Jacksonville Cyclones(2 - 1) |

| Seminole Super Clubs Thanksgiving Tournament
This turned out to be a minor disaster. Due to unforseen circumstances, we had NO Substitutes for the games, in fact 10 days before the start of the tournament the team seriously considered opting out. But after a short discussion it was decided that the tournament would provide much needed practice for the Sun Bowl whatever the outcome and in addition, if we did not go, the tournament organizers would not have been able to fill the position at this late stage. To compound matters, the last two games were within an hour of each other. Scores: vs Seminole (1 - 1), vs Ohio (0 - 2), vs Miami - Coral Estates Rams (2 - 3) |
| High School.
FACTOID In the December 2000 Puma Invitational, held in Tampa, FL, eleven of the Kickers were on their respective high school teams (five) taking part in the tournament. Of those five teams, three of them (seven players) reached the finals in the two brackets. Congratulations to Gaither on winning their bracket. Bloomingdale finished second in their bracket. December 2000 Kudos to our trainer, Adrian Bush, who coaches Gaither High School, on his 100th high school win. He did this against arch rival Bloomingdale High School and it was also his first win at Bloomingdale's Stadium. Newspaper Article.

| Super Youth League
The Kickers took part in the round of the Super Youth League which was played at USF, Tampa on the weekend of October 21, 22. The easy win on Saturday morning did not bode well for them when they played the afternoon game and they were unlucky to lose by a lone goal. Playing the afternoon game without key starters did not help either. Sat 10 am vs Tulsa - Win (8 - 0)
