This coming weekend, Rogue Valley Soccer Club will be represented at the Las Vegas Mayors Cup College Showcase. The U15G Power Strikers and the U18G Fusion along with the U18B Fuego, are finishing final preparations ahead of an early departure on Friday morning. I am truly excited for this event. First of all, I am pumped to watch our players compete with teams from all over the country. But I am even more excited for the future. It is very gratifying to see the effort that our volunteer coaches put in to expand the playing opportunities for the area. I truly believe that if we keep the same course, eventually we will develop players and teams that can compete on a national level. We are not there yet...not even close. But the train is moving in the right direction.
I have to give it up to Phil Littleton and James Figeroa as they set the culture over the last two years with the Fusion. They have been hauling girls all over the Pacific Northwest to a multitude of showcase tournaments. I believe their efforts are about to bear fruit as a good number of the Fusion Players will be continuing their soccer careers on a college level!
It is extremely exciting to see players from all over Southern Oregon come together. Next Month, the Fusion will continue their road trip as the join the U16B Barcelona, U16G Reign and U17G FC Rogue at a showcase in Northern California.
I will post updates as to results and also as to where our current crop of players end up deciding to go to college.
