Let's start with a simple one The Watkins Main Club Soccer team starts the season in August I'm not sure, but I think that's true No, that's incorrect. But you are close The season is from the first week of September to the end of the first week of October Let's do another one The club consists of two teams. Team A and Team B Deciding during a three-day tryout each fall I would say that would be true That's correct. Next one The men's soccer sports club at Watkins only accepts new players to a direct invitation from the head coach I think that would be false because you told earlier that there are tryouts That's correct. You're a good listener Okay, let's do another one The men's soccer sports club actively uses social media such as Instagram for promotion I have no idea, but I would guess it's true That's correct If you're interested in keeping up with their latest updates and exciting moments Make sure to connect with them on Instagram You can find them by searching for Are You Men's Club Soccer on the platform That's nice.
