have made South Florida proud
by becoming the 2016 US Youth

not easy as they had to face the

of 3 group matches, a quarter final, a semifinal, and a final.
New competition standards will be
implemented for the youngest ones. From
a 4 vs 4 for the U8, to a 7 vs 7 for the U9U10, and finally a 9 vs 9 for the U11-U12.

Championships
In this tournament West Pines was put to the
test against the highest level opposition of
the nation. In this tournament they beat the
National state champs of Southern California
with a final score of 1-0, lost 1-0 to the Las
Vegas champions, and lost to the Maryland
champions after a free kick was scored by the
opposing team in the last 5 minutes. Upon
losing that match they were eliminated from
the competition, but that doesn’t mean their
achievements were any less great. Coach
Javier Carrillo says, “This experience exceeded all expectations as we faced the highest level opposition all around the country.
I know that this will allow the organization
and players to advance in development and
we hope to continue these trends in the following season, and hopefully with more of
our other teams as well. This experience has
allowed the boys to not only grow as players,
but as human beings as well.”

the world for
five consecutive
years….

hen she was a
child, she used to
get into trouble
because her family believed girls shouldn’t play
soccer and instead should play
with dolls." But, despite this,
she would always escape from
home to play soccer with her
friends on the street. She was
the only girl among the boys.
Story
Marta is the most successful
female soccer player of all
time; that’s borne out by the
five consecutive ballon d’Or
awards she has won. But her
life has not been a fairy tale.
During her early years, her
parents split before she was a
year old, after this her mother
had to work all day to support
her and her four brothers.
The family was poor; Martha
couldn’t attend school until
she was 9 years old. But before that, she taught herself to
read and write using newspapers and comic books.
More & more success
At the age of 14, the head of a
local soccer tournament saw
her talent and proposed she
try out for a team in Rio de
Janeiro. Following this, Martha’s life turned into a string
of success. Her face and talent became international.
She moved to the U.S. where
she wore the jerseys of Los
Angeles Sol, FC Gold Pride
and the Western New York
Flash, before coming back
to Sweeden where she plays
for the Rosengård since June
2014. Marta has won many titles with her teams. She and
The Brazil National Team have
won two Pan American Games
golden medals and three silver medals- two in the Olympics and one in the World Cup.
Off the pitch
Marta has many achievements: In 2010, The ONU appointed her as a Goodwill Ambassador, a position that only
eight other people hold in the
world. And she is the only one
with two tasks: to advocate for
women’s empowerment as a
means to fight poverty.

LA CHICA DE ORO
La brasilera es la mejor futbolista de la historia
Cuando era niña se metía en problemas porque su familia creía que las
niñas no debían jugar al soccer sino a las muñecas. A pesar de esto,
ella siempre escapaba de casa para jugar al soccer en la calle con sus
amigos. Era la única chica entre tantos chicos.
» Historia
Marta es la futbolista más exitosa de la historia, y como prueba tiene
cinco Balones de Oro que ha ganado consecutivamente. Pero no todo
ha sido felicidad en la vida de Marta. Durante su niñez sus padres se
separaron cuando ella apenas tenía un año, luego de esto su madre
tuvo que trabajar todo el día para mantenerla a ella y sus cuatro
hermanos. Eran una familia pobre por lo que Marta no pudo entrar a la
escuela hasta que cumplió 9 años. Pero antes de eso intentó aprender
a leer y escribir por su cuenta leyendo periódicos y comics.
» Éxito y más éxito
A los 14 años, el director de uno de los torneos de soccer se fijó
en su talento y le propuso realizar pruebas para un equipo en Río de
Janeiro. Después de esto la vida de Marta se convirtió en un cadena de
éxitos. Su rostro y su talento se volvieron internacionales. Se trasladó
a Estados Unidos para vestir las camisetas de Los Angeles Sol, el F.C.
Gold Pride y el Western de Nueva York, antes de regresar a Suecia
donde juega con el FC Rosengård desde junio de 2014. Marta ha
logrado muchos títulos con sus equipos. Ella y la Selección Nacional
de Brasil han conseguido dos oros panamericanos y tres platas –dos
olímpicas y una mundial.
» Fuera de la cancha
Marta tiene otros logros fuera del campo de juego: en 2010, la ONU
la nombró Embajadora de Buena Voluntad, un cargo que sólo tienen
otras ocho personas en el mundo. Y ella es la única con dos funciones:
trabajar por el empoderamiento de la mujer como un medio para
disminuir la pobreza.

T
he Italian coach, a lover of
soccer, started his career
from a very early age and
his great experience is
strengthening the Pinecrest Premier
team. His aim is to develop all the
divisions instead of focusing on a
determined age.
When did you realize that
you loved soccer?
I’ve always loved the game. As I grew
up in Italy I would play on the streets
and when I came to America I began
to play in a more organized setting
but I’ve always loved the game.
Did you always imagine that
you’d become a coach?
Initially, I never thought of being a
coach and I always wanted to just be
a player. To an extent, I accomplished
that by playing professionally in the
USL, but then coaching came along
which wasn’t expected and I realized
that maybe I could make a career out
of it and make it something I could do
for the rest of my life.

game”
Interview with the Director of Coaching and
Player Development in Pinecrest Premier
Text & Photo: Emmanuel Calderón
where you aren’t just looking at what’s
in front of you but you have to take into
consideration different players, their
emotions, feelings, if they are enjoying
themselves, how the practice is going,
etc.
How would you describe your
» GIUSEPPE DEPALO
“LA TRANSICIÓN ES CLAVE
PARA EL JUEGO MODERNO”
Entrevista con el Director de entrenadores y desarrollo de jugadores en Pinecrest Premier.
» ¿Cuándo te diste cuenta que amabas el soccer?
Siempre amé el juego, mientras crecía en Italia jugaba en las calles,
cuando vine a América comencé a jugar en un ambiente más organizado
pero siempre he amado el juego.
» ¿Alguna vez te imaginaste que te convertirías en
entrendor?
Al principio, nunca pensé en ser entrenador, siempre quise ser solamente
jugador. Hasta cierto punto, lo logré al jugar profesionalmente en la
USL, pero después llegó la oportunidad de ser entrenador, lo que no me
esperaba pero me di cuenta que tal vez podía hacer carrera y que podría
hacerlo el resto de mi vida.
How was the past season like
for the club?
We had a few teams who did quite well
in the State Cup and National Premier
league. Our U18 girls were out in
Colorado and qualified for nationals a
few weeks back.
Do you have any hobbies?
I love traveling, especially with my
kids. I have a 16-year-old daughter and
a 10-year-old son who both play over in
Weston. I also like watching games on
the weekends with my kids or going out
to support our local teams like Miami
FC or the Strikers.
How does it feel to be the
Director of coaching?
This is a very different challenge since
I am tackling more of the youth side
of the game, but I’m sure it’s going to
be a fantastic experience. I oversee
all 41 teams that we have, as well as
all of the coaches and kids. Now I’ve
been with the club officially for a few
months and I’m really enjoying it.
El entrenador italiano, amante del soccer, empezó su carrera desde
muy joven y su gran experiencia está fortaleciendo al equipo Pinecrest
Premier. Su meta es desarrollar todas las categorías en lugar de
concentrarse en un grupo de determinada edad.
What does the club offer for
the players?
We offer a chance to play in some of
the top leagues in Florida and at a very
high level irrespective of age or ability.
In addition, we have an affiliation with
Kendall which has an academy and any
boy of ours who may “outgrow” our
program can be pushed there and given
the ability to develop even further.
What is your goal for the
club as Director of coaching?
One of the things I want to do is to
make our club one of the better
ones in terms of development for
the younger teams. I really want to
focus on our U8 through U12 teams
so that in turn, our older teams will
be better. Instead of trying to stack a
particular team and pulling players
from certain divisions to have one
strong team, I want to make sure that
the kids are getting the right instruction
appropriate to their age in order to
properly develop our young players.
How did you first get
involved
with
Pinecrest
Premier?
They reached out to me as I had already
been providing some consulting to
the club this year. The club was going
through some coaching changes and
they asked me if I was interested, and
now here I am.
What was the transition
like from being a player to
being a coach?
It was a long, long evolution. I started
coaching when I was still in college
where I was in charge of an U8 and
U9 team. I didn’t really know what I
was doing! But I was still learning and
then eventually I realized that I had
still much more to learn. But coaching
is completely different from playing
and this past year we played a very high
pressing game which was still defensive
but high up in the field with intensity
and lots of transitions.
style of coaching?
To me, transition is the key to the
modern game. I’ve always been a
defensive type of coach where my
emphasis has been defense. Over time,
it has changed and I enjoy watching the
game differently. For example, I am the
head coach of Miami Fusion in the NPSL
no sabía lo que estaba haciendo! Pero aún así continuaba aprendiendo
y después me di cuenta que tenía tanto por aprender. Pero entrenar
es diferente de jugar, ya que no solo estas viendo lo que está al frente
tuyo sino que tienes que tomar en consideración a diferentes jugadores,
sus emociones, sentimientos, si la están pasando bien, qué tal va la
practica, etc.
» ¿Cómo te involucraste con Pinecrest Premier?
Ellos se acercaron a mi ya que yo le había brindado ciertas consultorías
al club durante este año. El club estaba teniendo cambios en el el área
de entrenadores y me preguntaron si estaba interesado, y ahora aquí
estoy.
» ¿Cómo describirías tu estilo como entrenador?
Para mi, la transición es la clave para el juego moderno. Siempre he
sido un entrenador que pone mayor enfásisi en la defensa. Al pasar el
tiempo, he cambiado y disfruto ver el juego de una manera diferente.
Por ejemplo, soy entrenador del Miami Fusion en la NPSL y el año pasado
jugamos presionando lo cual todavía era defensivo pero subiamos a la
zona contraria con intensidad y muchos pases.
» ¿Cómo se siente ser el Director de entrenadores?
Es un reto diferente ya que estoy abordando un lado más juvenil del
juego, pero estoy seguro que será una experiencia fantástica. Superviso
a los 41 equipos que tenemos, al igual que a los entrenadores y a los
chicos. Ahora, he estado con el club oficialmente por algunos meses y
realmente lo estoy disfrutando.
» ¿Qué le ofrece el club a los jugadores?
Les ofrecemos la oportunidad de jugar en las ligas más importantes en
Florida, en un alto nivel sin importar edad o habilidad. Además, tenemos
una afiliación con Kendall, la cual tiene una academia y cualquier chico
de los nuestros que pueda “sobrepasar” nuestro programa puede ser
llevado ahí y recibir las habilidades para desarrollarse aún más.
» ¿Cómo fue la transición de ser jugador a ser
entrenador?
Fue una larga, larga evolución. Comencé a entrenar cuando estaba en
la universidad donde estaba a cargo del equipo U8 y U9 y ¡realmente
» ¿Cómo le fue al club la temporada pasada?
Tuvimos varios equipos a los cuales le fue bastante bien en la Copa
Estatal y la Liga Premier Nacional. Nuestras chicas U18 estuvieron en
Colorado y calificaron para las nacionales hace unas semanas.
What is your favorite place
you’ve ever traveled to?
I loved Puerto Rico for vacation. The
beaches are great and it was a very
nice combination of American comfort
with Latino culture as well. For soccer
purposes I’ve traveled to places like
England, Italy, France, etc. but my
absolute favorite was Argentina. I was
fortunate enough to see River Plate
vs. Boca in La Bombonera for Martin
Palermo’s last game and that was a
fantastic experience unlike any stadium
I’ve ever been to before.
» ¿Cuál es su meta para el club como Director de
entrenadores?
Una de las cosas que quiero hacer es convertir a nuestro club en
uno de los mejores en terminos de desarrollo para equipos menores.
Realmente quiero enfocarme en nuestros equipos U8 hasta U12 para
que a su vez, nuestros equipos mayores sean mejores. En vez de tratar
de apilar un equipo en particular y sacar jugadores de ciertas divisiones
para tener un equipo fuerte, quiero asegurarme que los chicos reciban
las enseñanzas correctas y apropiadas para su edad con el fin de
desarrollar a nuestros jugadores más pequeños.
» ¿Tienes algún pasatiempo?
Me gusta viajar, especialmente con mis hijos. Tengo una hija de 16
años y un hijo de 10 años, ambos juegan en Weston. También me gusta
ver partidos de soccer durante el fin de semana junto a mis hijos, o ir
a apoyar a nuestros equipos locales como el Miami FC o los Srikers.
» ¿Qué lugar de los que has visitado es tu favorito?
Me gustó Puerto Rico para vacacionar. Las playas son grandiosas y
también es una bonita combinación de la comodidad americana con
la cultura Latina. Por asuntos de soccer, he viajado a lugares como
Inglaterra, Italia, Francia, etc. pero mi favorito fue Argentina. Tuve la
suerte de ver a River Plate vs. Boca en la Bombonera durante el último
juego de Martín Palermo y fue una experiencia fantástica diferente a
cualquier otro estadio que haya visitado anteriormente.

he Weston kids are
ready to begin a
new adventure in
Rome, Italy. The
purpose of the trip is to
promote the kids at international competitions. “As
a club, we know this is the
moment when the players
are developing” says Alessandro Sbrizzo, coach of
the team. “That's why we're
going with our minds set
on doing better”. He commented.
During this trip, the U13
Weston FC kids may compare the structure and level
of Italian clubs which are
more developed in soccer
terms.
Expectation
According to the coach, the
U13 West FC team expects
to compete at the highest
level, and try to do a good
job in every aspect: in terms
of game, responsibility, behavior, and getting the players to use this experience
to feel they’re at an important environment. “We
have a balanced team, with
speed, technique and physical skills. Even though we
have all those aspects, the
emotional side always plays
a part in the matches” says
coach Alessandro Sbrizzo.
Time for everything
The Weston FC kids will also
have some days off so they
can visit the city of Rome,
which is very important historically. Some parents will
join them, but they will not
travel with the team.
“We want the parents to join
us, so they can observe the
differences between American and European soccer,
and that we need to be walking on solid ground. Sometimes what is done locally is
a different reality, and when
you go out there to see the
actual truth, you can tell we
are still lacking something”
comments coach Sbrizzo.
The U13 Weston FC team is
ready to represent South
Florida soccer in Italy. The
trip will take place from
September 2 to September
11. They will face the following teams: Lazio, Perugia,
Ternana, Roma, Frosinone,
Racing Club and Urbetevere.

EYE INJURIES
PROTECTING YOUR EYES
WHILE PLAYING SOCCER
Text & PHOTO: NEWSROOM/MEDIAPLUS
E
ach year, more than
40,000 people are treated
for eye injuries related to
sports activities. Using the
right kind of eye protection while
playing sports can help prevent serious eye injuries and even blindness.
The following guidelines can help
you find a pair of eyeguards right
for you
1. If you wear prescription glasses,
ask your eye doctor to fit you for
prescription eyeguards. If you're a
monocular athlete (a person with
only one eye that sees well), ask
your eye doctor what sports you
can safely participate in. Monocular athletes should always wear
sports eyeguards.
2. In order to be assured that your
eyes are protected, it is important
that any eye guard or sports protective eyewear be labeled as ASTM
F803 approved. This eyewear is
performance tested to give you the
highest levels of protection.
3. Don't buy sports eyeguards without lenses. Only "lensed" protectors are recommended for sports
use. Make sure the lenses either
stay in place or pop outward in the
event of an accident. Lenses that
pop in against your eyes can be
very dangerous.
4. Check the packaging to see if the
eye protector you select has been
tested for sports use. Also check to
see that the eye protector is made
of polycarbonate material. Polycarbonate eyeguards are the most impact resistant.
5. Sports eyeguards should
be padded or cushioned
along the brow and
bridge of the nose. Padding will prevent the
eyeguards from cutting your skin.
6. Try on the eye
protector to determine if it's the right
size. Adjust the strap
and make sure it's
not too tight or
too loose. If you
purchased your
eyeguards
at
an
optical
store, an optical repres e n t a t ive
can help
you adjust the
e y e
protector for
a comfortable
fit.

la comodidad al usarlo atrás de las

Conciencia en los padres

hijos usen lentes al jugar soccer.

No es recomendable usar los
lentes de contacto en soccer.

Es importante que los niños
usen los lentes para jugar, aunque
no tengan graduación, sino por
protección de los rayos UV y porque
son contra impactos.
LESIONES EN LOS OJOS
EL CUIDADO DE LOS OJOS AL JUGAR SOCCER
Cada año, más de 40,000 personas son tratadas por lesiones
en los ojos relacionadas con actividades deportivas. Utilizar la
adeucada protección para los ojos al practicar deportes puede
ayudar a prevenir lesiones serias en los ojos y hasta la ceguera.
Los siguientes consejos te pueden ayudar a encontrar el par ideal de gafas protectoras para ti
1. Si usas lentes con prescripción, pídele a tu oftalmólogo que
ajuste la prescripción a tus gafas protectoras. Si eres un atleta
monocular (una persona que solo ve bien con un ojo), pregúntale
a tu oftalmólogo qué tipo de deportes puedes realizar de manera
segura. Los atletas monoculares siempre deben usar gafas protectoras deportivas.
2. Con el propósito de asegurar que tus ojos esten protegidos, es
importante que cualquier tipo de lente protectora o gafa protectora
para deporte este debidamente etiquetada con la aprobación de la
ASTM F803. El funcionamiento de estas gafas protectoras ha sido
evaluado para ofrecerte los niveles más altos de protección.
3. No compres gafas protectoras deportivas sin lentes. Solo las
gafas con lentes están recomendadas para uso deportivo. Asegúrate
que los lentes se mantendrán en su lugar o rebotarán hacia afuera
en caso de un accidente. Los lentes que reboten hacia tus ojos
pueden ser muy peligrosos.
4. Revisa el empaque para observar si el protector de ojos que has
elegido, ha sido analizado para uso deportivo. También, revisa si el
protector de ojos está hecho de policarbonato. Las gafas protectoras de policarbonato son las más resistentes a los golpes.
5. Las gafas protectoras deportivas deben ser acolchonadas o con
almohadillas a lo largo de las cejas y en el puente de la nariz. El
acolchonamiento evitará que las gafas protectoras corten tu piel.
6. Ajusta la correa y asegúrate que no está demasiado apretada o
demasiado floja. Si compraste tus gafas protectoras en una tienda
oftalmológica, un vendedor del sitio te puede ayudar a ajustar el
protector de tus ojos para lograr un ajusto cómodo.
