Jessica Robbins, U18 '87 Williamsburg Phoenix , Signs National Letter Of Intent With VMI   Jessica has played with Williamsburg Soccer club For 11 years

 

Jessica Robbins of the U18 ’87 Williamsburg Phoenix last weekend signed a National Letter of Intent to attend and play soccer at Virginia Military Institute (VMI) in Lexington , Virginia . She will begin her Division One career this upcoming fall. “I have been with the club since I was 8 years old and ever since that time the coaches have always pushed me to become a better player. I love the coach/player relationship WSC strives to have with each player. My coach, Amadu Kamara, is the most devoted soccer person I’ve ever met. The club has always given me the avenues to improve if I wanted them. I was always allowed to attend any training sessions that I wanted, and training with the U18 ’86 Wizards (boys) especially helped me. If it wasn’t for the people that make up this club, I would never have become the player I am today’, said Jessica.

 

Robbins will play for new head coach Brian Williams, a graduate from nearby Washington and Lee University . Last year the Keydets were 7-12-0 and played in the Big South Conference. She will join three former Williamsburg Soccer Club players at VMI. Karen Bill, Raevon Pullium and Vanessa Berrios are will all be seniors at VMI next fall and all have had good careers at the school.

 

“Jessica has always wanted to succeed in her soccer endeavors. She has attended many extra training sessions and also helped out in a mentoring capacity in our developmental programs. Over the years she has put in the extra work that has made her a Division One caliber athlete. She certainly has the ability to play at this level and has worked terrifically hard to get to where she is today as a soccer player and a person. I’m very proud of her and wish her all the success in the world”, commented Richard Butler, Director of Coaching.
