KM United and Champion Hearts Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Screening 

On the heels of the recent death of a Grafton High School basketball player during practice (read story), we have partnered with Champion Hearts to offer an HCM screening to KMU players. For more information on HCM and the screening procedure visit Champion Hearts' web site at www.championhearts.com.

When: Saturday, February 11th, 3:30--? PM
Where: Kettle Moraine Middle School
Cost: $35 per person*

SCREENINGS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!!! Please contact T.C. Ward (coachingdirector@kmunited.org or 414-702-3263) to schedule your appointment. 

*Possible family discount. Please contact T.C. Ward for more information.

***Requirements***
Players should be at least 12-13 years old or older, as HCM cannot be diagnosed accurately before this age. Screenings will take 10-15 minutes. Champion Hearts prefers cash or check payments, but also has a credit card machine if needed. Parents and young adults can also be screened, so please take advantage of this opportunity. Participants should wear loose fitting clothing to their screening. Please visit their website, www.championhearts.com for more info. If you cannot attend the February 11th clinic but still wish to be screened, please contact T.C. Ward and he will work with Champion Hearts directly for you. These types of screenings are not normally covered by insurance unless there is a preexisting condition, so this is a great opportunity to get screened at an affordable price.

Success Stories - Fall, 2011

U13 Boys Blue

1st Place Racine Lighthouse Classic Tournament

Congratulations to the KM United U-13 Boys Blue team as they defeated Racine United Red in the finals, 3-0. This is the third time the boys have earned hardware at a tournament this season, and their first time earning first place honors. Goalkeeper Cal Borowski had a phenomenal tournament, allowing only two goals in four games (.50 GAA), and stopping three penalties en route to a shootout victory in the semi-finals over WSA Woodridge Storm (IL). Coaches pictured: Jason Albert, Frank Lant, Zach Papanikilou. Not pictured: Head Coach Tom Lange.
