Rain and field conditions combined to cancel the girls under 14 Galaxy Devil-Cats team from having an open practice at Mark Twain Middle School on Saturday December 12, 2009. Please continue to watch for future dates for these open practice sessions. Players from the current DCats team as well as prospective players are all invited to come out. Please wear soccer gear including shin guards.

The DCats are poised to move up into Silver Elite next season based on their results this year in GU14 Silver North in the Coast Soccer League. The team is coached by Christian Chambers and the team is looking to bolster their roster with a few more good players. Dates and location for tryouts will be posted shortly.

Irvine, CA, 08.23.09 – As they had done the previous year, the Galaxy Wildcats played hard and fought their way into the Championship Final at the Orange County Kickoff Classic. The Championship game, this year against the Laguna Niguel SC White, was tied 0 – 0 at the end of regulation and was ultimately decided in PKs resulting in a 0 – 1 score with the Wildcats claiming the Finalist medals.  This year, however, the Wildcats did not allow any goals to be scored against them during regulation play in any of their four tournament games while scoring just as many goals (9) as they had the previous year.  What’s more, the new “balanced attack” from the Wildcats resulted in 7 different Wildcat players scoring goals during the course of the tournament.

In their first game, the Wildcats trounced the City Soccer Gazelles by a score of 6 – 0 while allowing just 1 shot at their own goal.  The second game was nearly as lopsided: 3 – 0 against the LAFC Chelsea White team resulting in a 20 point total for the 2 games.  On Sunday morning, the Wildcats played hard against a fast and aggressive Greater Long Beach Heat team which ended in a 0 – 0 tie.  Because of their point advantage, the Wildcats were able to win their Bracket over Long Beach and head into the Championship final vs. Laguna Niguel.  This year’s Wildcat team promises to be a very exciting team to watch with a stable roster of returning players plus some great new additions.  In fact, three players new to the Wildcats since last season (Nancy Lopez, Fiona Duerr and Jacquelyn Espinosa) all scored goals during the course of the tournament.  Other goal-scorers on the weekend were Ashley Coreas, Betsy Mebane, Siena Landay and Sasha Meyer.  With the Wildcats’ aggressive offense combined with a stiffened defense that doesn’t give up goals, the Wildcats are definitely a team on the move this season.  The Wildcats have been either Champions or Finalists in all 3 tournaments they have played in 2009.

The Girl’s U13 Galaxy Devil-Cats are having player tryouts and evaluations during January and February 2009. The Devil-Cats recently won their GU13 Bronze West bracket of Coast Soccer League action and the team will play in a Silver bracket next season. For a player to be eligible for the team,  she must be born August 1, 1995 or later.

Players are invited to attend Devil-Cat practices either on Monday nights 530 to 7pm at Airport Field at the Santa Monica Airport or on Thursday nights from 7 to 830pm at MacArthur Field on the Veterans Administration grounds in Westwood.  Players should bring their soccer gear including shin guards.
