Conner Bayliss started playing soccer when he was only 5 years old and has played ever since. He started playing on the St. Charles High varsity soccer team his freshman year.
“I played my freshman year and I did really well and that resulted in me playing my sophomore year and deciding not to play for the High team, but for St. Louis City instead,” Bayliss said.
He enjoys playing for the city soccer team, but definitely misses the school’s varsity team.
“I miss playing with my friends and being around the people, and kind of being a leader as well,” Bayliss added.
Despite missing the SCHS team, he loves the opportunities provided with the City team.
“I travel a lot, so last year we traveled all around the United States. We went to Florida and Palm Springs, California. We went to places like Austin and Dallas and multiple occasions in cities for just one or two games,” Bayliss said.
As for the future, he would like to play professionally.
“It’s one of my aspirations, I plan on going to college for soccer, I plan to see what my future holds behind soccer and getting a degree as well,” Bayliss said.
