Total Futbol Academy - L.A.

OUR FIRST EVER ALUMNI WEEKEND WENT OFF WITHOUT A HITCH.  PRIOR TO EVERYBODY ARRIVING CREWS BEGAN TO SET UP OUR EVENT HEADQUARTERS WHERE CHECK-IN & MERCH STORE CANOPIES WOULD BE LOCATED.  AS PEOPLE ARRIVED THEY WERE TREATED TO A BIG BALLOON ARCH ENTRANCE WELCOMING EVERYBODY. TO ADD A BIT OF FLAVOR TO THE EVENT, HIP HOP MUSIC FROM THE 90'S WAS BEING BLASTED BY DJ RAY.  

THE INITIAL GAMES BEGAN WITH OUR TFA-PRO YOUNGER TEAMS PLAYING FRIENDLY MATCHES FOR THE FIRST HOUR & THEY DID NOT DISSAPOINT.  SO MUCH TALENT ON DISPLAY!

THEN LITTLE BY LITTLE THE ALUMNI ARRIVED.  BIG SMILES & HUGS GOING AROUND AS ALUMNI RECONNECTED WITH OLD TEAMMATES & STAFF.  AND TO TOP IT OFF, THE THOMPSON SISTERS (ALYSSA & GISELE) WERE ALSO IN ATTENDANCE TAKING PHOTOS W/ EVERYBODY AS WELL AS AUTOGRAPHING JERSEYS FOR OUR YOUNGER PLAYERS. TRULY APPRECIATE THEM FOR TAKING TIME OUT OF THEIR BUSY SCHEDULE TO ATTEND.   ONCE ALL THE PLEASEANTRIES WERE DONE, IT WAS TIME TO TAKE THE FIELD.  THE ALUMNI, RANGING IN AGE FROM LATE TEENS TO EARLY 30'S, WERE DIVIDED INTO TWO TEAMS.  SEEMED AS THOUGH BOTH TEAMS WERE EQUALLY MATCHED AS THE GAME PLAYED OUT TO A ONE SCORE DIFFERENCE IN THE END.  

ALL IN ALL IT WAS A MEMORABLE EVENT WHERE APPROXIMATELY 30+ ALUMNI ATTENDED. WE'LL TRY TO INCREASE THAT NUMBER TO 40+ NEXT YEAR.  SPECIAL THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING FOR HELPING TO MAKE THIS A WONDERFUL EVENT:
