Total Futbol Academy - L.A.

CONGRATULATIONS GOES OUT TO OUR ACADEMY B2014 TEAM FOR BEING CROWNED CHAMPIONS THIS PAST WEEKEND AT THE PRESTIGIOUS SURF CUP TOURNAMENT DOWN IN SAN DIEGO.

WHAT A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR A YOUNG TEAM THAT'S ONLY BEEN PLAYING TOGETHER SINCE JUNE OF THIS YEAR. 

IN THE FINAL MATCH, THEY MET UP WITH A TEAM (SURF SC ACADEMY SELECT) WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY BEATEN THEM BACK IN JUNE AT THE MANCHSTER CITY CUP IN PK'S.  HOWEVER THIS GAME WOULD TURN OUT MUCH DIFFERENT.

FROM THE START SURF SC ACADEMY SELECT JUMPED OUT TO A QUICK 1-0 LEAD. FORTUNATELY SOON AFTER, OUR ACADEMY 2014'S SCORED ON A BLISTERING SHOT FROM THE OUTSIDE TO MAKE IT 1-1.  THEN, JUST BEFORE HALF, OUR ACADEMY 2014'S SCORED AGAIN TO GO UP 2-1 AT HALFTIME.

IN THE SECOND HALF, THE GAME WENT BACK & FORTH WITH BOTH TEAMS HAVING SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES TO SCORE.  FORTUNATELY FOR US, OUR ACADEMY 2014'S SCORED AGAIN TO GO UP 3-1.  AS THE GAME WOUND DOWN OUR ACADEMY 2014'S GOT IN AGAIN AND SCORED OFF A BLAST TO MAKE IT 4-1 WHICH IS HOW THE GAME ENDED.

CONGRATS TO COACH PEDRO FOR A WONDERFUL JOB PREPARING & MANAGING THIS TEAM AND BEST OF LUCK FROM HERE FORWARD!

THE STREAK IS ALIVE & WELL: THIS IS THE 26TH YEAR THAT OUR CLUB HAS PARTICIPATED IN THE SURF CUP AND FORTUNATELY FOR US WE HAVE ALWAYS MANAGED TO BRING HOME AT LEAST ONE SURF CUP TROPHY EVERY YEAR.
