The U17 ’94 Gold girls are in heavy preparation for the USYSA Far West Regional Tournament which begins play June 20th in Boise, Idaho. The team qualified for the Regional event by making it to the Cal-North State Cup Final in April.

The draw was just released yesterday for the first round of the event. In game #1, the girls will face the Washington State Champion, Crossfire Premier. In game #2, the girls will square off against LaRoca Premier, the state champion from Utah. In the final group game, the team will see San Diego Surf Premier who qualified for a spot via the Far West Regional League. 

The tournament has 16 teams, four brackets of four. The top two teams from each bracket will move on to the quarter-finals. You can follow the action at www.regioniv.com

Good luck girls!

This past Memorial Day weekend, the U12 Girls Elite fired on all pistons for their first tournament of the new season giving up zero goals and exploiting the opposition with 18 scores to win the championship.

The girls dominated the back defensive line, the mid-field, and of course the opposition’s third. Kudos to the team for their performance: Megan Bine, Ailey Collins, Alayna Ferguson, Britney Flint, Nicole Gearing, Tate Hall, Madison Leonard, Nicolette Lewis, Abbey Michaelsen, Clare Murphy, Megan Nimtz, Isabella Perez, Taylor Simpkins, Sylvia Sloss, Emily Talmi, and Coach Matt Scammacca.

The U11 Girls ’01 Elite had the opportunity to be the official ball runners for the California Storm’s first league game of the season last week. The California Storm is one of the top teams in the Women’s Professional Soccer League (WPSL). The Storm’s roster is made up of former National team players and former/current top collegiate players. A few notable players are Brandi Chastain, former US National team star and Sissi, former Brazilian International. 

Our Placer United girls circled the field for the match and helped track balls played out of bounds to keep the rhythm of the match flowing. 

You can find the Storm’s game schedule on our website under “Club Events”

We are so proud of the athletes selected “First Team” throughout the Sac-Joaquin Section of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF). Placer United had strong representation from some extraordinary individuals who represent the region’s best athletic talent, voted on by high school coaches as the top female soccer players in their conference or league.

In addition, not one, but THREE Placer players were named MVPs. We couldn’t be happier for Savannah Coiner of Rocklin High School and Paige Crouch of Roseville High School, co-MVPs from Sierra Foothill League, as well as, Kim Hernandez of Galt High School, MVP from Sierra Valley Conference.

Congratulations to all this year’s First Team selections. Your hard work on the field has paid off with this significant accomplishment!
