From far northern Maine, Presque Isle plays all its games on the road.
Sub-title should be, "For the love of the game."
Check out the slide show for a picture of their snow-covered field, which none of them ever get to play on.

The same goes for our german team since last year. They made a soccer court out of our field. We are training of some kind of acre:) and our games are all on the road. That's not very cool, but we continue playing.
Maybe next year we will get a new field but I'm skeptical about that.

While I am used to snow on the field this is a whole different category.

I've lived in southern Maine. Many of the towns these kids are from are so small and obscure I haven't heard of them.
Thats dedication .... the thought of not even having a playable home field makes me want to be sick though.
