Total Futbol Academy - L.A.

CONGRATS TO OUR BOYS ACADEMY 2012-1 TEAM FOR BEING CROWNED SOCAL STATE CUP CHAMPIONS THIS PAST WEEKEND!  THIS GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT MAKES IT TWO WEEKS IN A ROW FOR OUR ACADEMY PROGRAM AS OUR 2013's WERE CROWNED STATE CUP CHAMPIONS LAST WEEKEND.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP JOURNEY BEGAN WITH THEM QUALIFYING FIRST IN THEIR GROUP, THEN FOLLOWED UP WITH A DOMINATING PERFORMANCE IN THE QUARTERFINALS AGAINST A VERY GOOD SD SURF TEAM.  FROM THERE IT WAS ON TO THE SEMIS WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE TO FACE OFF WITH OUR OWN TFA-PALMEIRAS TEAM WHICH THE 2012-1 ACADEMY TEAM EVENTUALLY WON.  ADVANCING OUT OF THE SEMI'S & INTO THE FINALS WAS GOING TO BE A WAR AS THEY WOULD NOW HAVE TO FACE A VERY FORMIDABLE OPPONENT, SPORTING CA. ARSENAL, COACHED BY BRIAN SMITH.

FORTUNATELY FOR US, OUR BOYS WERE ABLE TO BEAT THE KEEPER ONCE EACH HALF AND EVENTUALLY WIN A CLOSE FAUGHT MATCH, 2-0. 

SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO COACH VICENTE FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID TO PREPARE THIS TEAM AS WELL AS INSTILLING IN THEM ALL THE QUALITIES THAT IT TAKES TO BE A CHAMPION, AND, CONGRATS ON WINNING YOUR 2ND STATE CUP CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY ON BACK TO BACK WEEKENDS!
