Usually this will be on Sunday afternoon. Stay tuned for details.

Region 13 teams competed in a pair of preseason tournaments in August. Congratulations to the 2011 girls team, Rose City FC coached by Adam Weirman and Caryn Fields, who took 2nd in the Camarillo Cup Club Invitational. The 2014 boys, coached by Luke Powers, and 2012 boys, coached by Bret Nicely, went to the Battle at the Beach. The 2012 boys squad narrowly missed out on qualifying for the championship game, finishing with the 3rd most points in group play. Great job to all the tournament team players!
Sunday, September 10, 5pm kickoff in Carson, the Galaxy play St Louis. Arrive early for a free pizza & lemonade party just outside the stadium gates. You can bring your own food & drink to that, too. There will even be a turf field to play soccer on. Tickets are about $20, and so is parking.
