The Dedham Junior Marauders 5th Grade Boys team etched their names into the record books this Spring 2025 by winning the President’s Cup—the first time in Dedham Youth Soccer history!
From the first kickoff to the final whistle of the championship match, this team played with heart, grit, and determination. The boys showed up week after week, rain or shine, putting in the work on the practice field and leaving it all out there on game day. Their focus, sportsmanship, and team-first mentality carried them through a highly competitive bracket and proved that with dedication and teamwork, anything is possible.
This win is more than just a trophy—it’s a testament to the hard work these young athletes have put in all season long, and the passion they brought to the game. Every practice, every huddle, every extra touch on the ball paid off in the biggest way.
We extend a huge thank you to the coaches, whose leadership and commitment helped shape these boys into a championship-caliber team. To the parents, whose sideline cheers, carpools, and endless support never wavered—thank you. And to all of the volunteers and supporters who helped make this season happen behind the scenes, we couldn’t have done it without you.
As a community, Dedham Youth Soccer could not be more proud of the way this team represented us—with class, courage, and unrelenting spirit. The 5th Grade Junior Marauders have inspired younger players and reminded all of us what’s possible when we work hard and believe in one another.
Congratulations, boys—you’ve made history, and we’re cheering for you every step of the way!
We'd also like to make a huge shout-out to two of our incredible 5th grade girls teams—the Dedham Dynamites and the Dedham Maroon Devils—for making it all the way to the finals of the Spring 2025 President’s Cup!
These young athletes have shown incredible dedication, teamwork, and skill throughout the season, and their journey to the championship stage is nothing short of inspiring. Both teams battled hard, played with heart, and represented Dedham with fierce determination and pride.
Go Marauders!
