Coast Soccer &
GotSoccer League
Ranking Points
C
oast Soccer League and GotSoccer have partnered
to bring each and every CSL team into the GotSoccer family. As a result of our partnership, GotSoccer
will be awarding its points to teams participating in CSL
League, CSL League Cup, CSL Cal Cup and the Southern
California NPL.
Coast Soccer League is proud to be a working partner
with GotSoccer and appreciates the opportunity GotSoccer has given all CSL teams to earn GotSoccer points for
all CSL Events.
Below is an explanation as to how the GotSoccer points
awarded are calculated and when they will be added to
your team’s point totals.
GotSoccer League Rankings
The point value of a division is determined by the teams
playing in the division itself. What GotSoccer does is take
the 5 highest ranked teams and based off of where they
are ranked (top 1% of teams, Top 2% of teams, etc.) they
will have a specific point value assigned to them. Those
points are then averaged for the top 5. Below is a break
down if the point values for the percentiles that we use.
• Teams in the top 1% contribute 10000 points.
• Teams in the lower 40% contribute 156 points.
The number of teams in the division will determine how
many teams will get points. Below is a table that shows
the break down of the percentage of the available points
each team will get based on the number of teams in their
division and their placement.

The last Item in the rankings is a deduction from your points. The deduction
is a mechanism built in to the rankings to encourage teams to compete in
higher level events. As an example lets say a division is worth 5,000 points.
If a team enters the event with 1,000 points they would have a 20% deduction (200 points) so the most this team could win in their division 4,800.
(5,000 division value - 20% of the teams 1,000 points). What this does is
prevents teams from entering events where they greatly out rank the other
teams and winning the points that they brought into the event.
GotSoccer points will be awarded intermittently throughout the CSL Season but the majority of the GotSoccer Points will be awarded at the end of
each CSL event.

PARENTS CAN BE SOCCER’S
GREATEST ASSET
This Column is a Must Read for Parents
E
very year my opening column in the season’s
1st Premier Magazine has been devoted to
advising players and their parents of their responsibilities to ensure the player receives multiple opportunities to advance their career after
high school, whether it be in college or at a profession level. These topics will be addressed but
in later issues of the Premier Magazine.
A more germane topic for this particular message is the continued “evolution” of youth soccer
and the impact it has on the ability of families to enjoy the
game. The soccer environment for youth players in America
is changing. The “development” of the player has now become the national cry. But every American national youth
organization has a different concept of what “development” actually means.
USSF has not specifically defined what actually its “development” philosophy consists of, but USSF has set forth
its model for “development” and it is called the US Soccer
Developmental Academy. USSF has mandated developmental guidelines that must be followed by each participating club in its Academy program; but rarely, if ever, does
it enforce those mandated guidelines.
Now USSF has concluded that in order to develop players
more effectively, one must follow the newest standards created by USSF and they are:
Standardized Small-Sided Format
A key component for the new Player Development Initiative is to create small-sided standards and institute a birth
year registration process. The rationale for the changes is
simple; U.S. Soccer wants to develop players with more individual skill, intelligence, creativity and confidence. These
standards were created based on the needs of the players
and USSF believes these standards will provide a consistent
approach across the country.
Birth Year Registration
Birth Year Registration is also part of U.S. Soccer’s new
player development initiatives. Birth Year Registration applies to all players regardless of age and this change will
align with the international standard. It is expected that
Cal South will implement this requirement beginning August 1, 2016.
The practice of using the school calendar for age groups
is practiced only in the United States and Canada; as all
other FIFA members go by the calendar year. Previously, age
groups were determined based on players born between
ISSUE 1 • SEPTEM BER 26–27, 2015
Aug. 1 and July 31. The change to calendar year
age groups will reflect the calendar year, or Jan. 1
to Dec. 31. Players are still allowed to “play up”
or play in an older age group.
USYSA and US Club have now set forth their
own guidelines for Player Development:
US Club has created the Players First Program:
They believe the Players First is a philosophy will
help make the youth soccer culture more nurturing and holistic in the way it measures and values
each player’s experience. Players First serves to replace the
win-at-all-costs culture of youth soccer by encouraging
clubs to adopt the Players First philosophy. As a result, it is
argued that parents will have a way to properly identify and
measure the appropriate environment for their children’s
development.
In order to help members adopt the Players First philosophy, US Club Soccer is providing a suite of resources which
they believe will add value to clubs, coaches, parents and
players.
CAL SOUTH, our own state association which is sanctioned by USYS, is a proponent of the philosophy that development of individual players can be aided by coaches
setting clear goals for their teams and the individual players. The coach should always develop challenging practice
sessions, including varied types of age-appropriate games.
Coaches for older teams should have a seasonally-based
plan to attend “exposure events” to allow players to be
seen by college coaches, since many sophomores, juniors
and seniors in high school are looking at college soccer as
their final destination. If Cal South could change one thing
in the development of players in today’s youth soccer envi-

ronment, it would be that parents to be more patient and
loyal to their club and/or team, and to give coaches the
time to develop players to their full potential. Parents
should not automatically jump and pull their child off a
team just because of a few bad results. The value placed
on winning can often stifle the development of young players. Losing can be frustrating and challenging for coaches
and players, however, one must realize that it can help
them grow, as a team and individually, equally as much as
winning can. Success should not be defined merely by positive results.
All of the programs referred to above have merit. CSL is
a COMPETITIVE gaming league and does not have any
input on what our National organizations mandate or implement. These policies are put in place for the sanctioned
clubs to follow in the training of your child. Your child is
currently playing for a sanctioned COMPETITIVE CLUB and
your club sets forth its own criteria under which your child
is trained.
HOWEVER - CSL DOES HAVE THE ABILITY TO INFLUENCE THE ENVIORNMENT IN WHICH YOUR CHILD’S
GAME IS PLAYED. AND CSL INTENDS TO CONTINUE
TO IMPROVE THAT THE PLAYING ENVIORNMENT.
For the past 3 years, CSL has been engaged in the effort
to change the environment in which the game is played.
This effort has been driven by CSL establishing League
Standards as part of the No Victory Without Honor® Program* (NVWH). This program allows the league and the
clubs that participate in CSL to create the competitive environment that is central to the CSL experience, but do so
while ensuring that it remains true to the shared values of
all stakeholders, i.e. players, parents, coaches and administrators. CSL has adopted the NVWH program and in partnership with Xara Soccer, we have led the way nationally
in demonstrating that our commitment to this thinking
makes the game more enjoyable for everyone.
The NVWH Program has already been instituted for
Teams and Referees. Both of these programs were implemented to create a better, safer and more rewarding environment for the players and referees on the field and the
coaches and parents on the sideline.
And now its time to involve you, the parents directly. It
is our intention to provide information that will allow you
to make more educated choices on behalf of your family.
In what areas of the game you ask? We want each family
to consider what they want as the long term value of your
child’s involvement in the game to be? We would like parents to become part of the effort to create a playing environment that is both positive and safe for every child? We
would like you to become part of the effort to ensure that
each game is played with values that are consistent with
those held dear by your family.
CSL would like you to become part of the movement to
change the environment in which youth soccer is played.
Together we can show the rest of the country that as always Southern California leads the way in youth soccer. We
can show the country that the game can be both highly
competitive and enjoyable but we can only achieve this if
all of us commit to making the playing environment positive and safe.
Please ask your team administrators if your team is part
8
of the No Victory Without
Honor® Program and if
not encourage them to become part of the initiative.

CONCUSSIONS
O
nce, as a youth keeper following a hard
player-to-player challenge, my coach told
me to shake off the “ding” and get back
in goal. At least, I’m told that happened; I don’t
actually remember.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by a
bump, blow, jolt, or penetrating trauma to the
head that disrupts the normal function of the
brain and is a serious public health problem in
the United States. From 2001 to 2009, the number of
annual TBI-related emergency department visits increased significantly, from 153,375 to 248,418, with the
highest rates among males aged 10-19 years. However,
most non-penetrating TBI does not require an ED visit.
In 2010, approximately 2.5 million TBIs occurred either
as an isolated injury or along with other injuries. Each
year, traumatic brain injuries contribute to a substantial
number of deaths and cases of permanent disability. Extensive injury reporting and research has led to a much
better understanding about the symptoms and longterm complications from TBI in children. Proper recognition and response can help prevent further injury or
even death.
What is a Concussion?
Concussions are a form of TBI that can range from
mild, with quick and full recovery, to severe, with signs
and symptoms lasting for months to years. Most con-
cussions occur without loss of consciousness,
but all concussions should be considered serious injuries. There are thought to be three
mechanisms of injury that occur: the direct acceleration of the brain from the initial blow; the
indirect deceleration of the brain impacting the
side of the skull opposite that of the impact;
and the rotational force or torque on the brain
imparted by the blow. Young athletes are at
increased risk for TBIs with increased severity and prolonged recovery duration because their brains are still
developing and may be more susceptible to the combined effects of these three forces.
Concussions can happen in any sport, but occur more
frequently in some. A review of 2008-2010 data from
the National High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance System showed that football had the highest rate
of concussions per 10,000 athlete exposures. Rounding
out the top ten were boys’ ice hockey, boys’ lacrosse,
girls’ soccer, girls’ lacrosse, girls’ basketball, boys’ soccer,
boys’ wrestling, girls’ field hockey, and boys’ basketball.
In soccer, the activity most frequently associated with
concussion for boys and girls was heading the ball, either as a result of player-player contact (most common,
and more in boys than girls), player-ball contact (more
commonly in girls than boys) or player-playing surface
contact (also more commonly in girls than boys). In soccer, protective headgear has been shown to provide mild

protection in head-to-head collisions and against softtissue injuries such as cuts, bruises, and scrapes, but not
from heading the ball. At this time, there is insufficient
data to support any universal use of headgear in soccer.
Evaluation
Once the immediate first aid issues are addressed, an
assessment of the concussive injury should be made
using the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 3 (SCAT3),
Child-SCAT3, or other sideline assessment tools. SCAT3
is a standardized tool for evaluating injured athletes for
concussion and can be used in athletes aged from 13
years and older. A modified version of this tool is the
ChildSCAT3 that is appropriate for children aged from
5 to 12 years. The tool is designed for use by a medical
professional and helps to identify if a player has a concussion. It is best used when compared against a preseason/pre-injury baseline.
Although most signs and symptoms appear rapidly
after injury and resolve spontaneously, some may evolve
over time or present subtly long after the initial event.
These signs and symptoms are typically due to a functional disturbance of brain function, rather than a structural injury, and standard structural neuroimaging
studies like CT or MRI are not typically necessary for mild
concussions.
Loss of consciousness is less frequent (less than 10%
of concussions) but is an important sign that may prompt
further imaging and intervention, especially if lasting
longer than 30 seconds. Other signs and symptoms that
should prompt immediate medical evaluation include severe headache, seizures, neurologic findings that are limited to one limb or body area, significant sleepiness or
difficulty being awakened, slurred speech, repeated vomiting, violent behavior change, or severe disorientation.
Concussion Management
Concussion scales are no longer recommended for use
as it is widely acknowledged that each player responds
differently and at their own pace to physical and cognitive rest.
Physical Rest
All sports-related physical activity should be stopped
until the athlete is asymptomatic at rest, including
weight training, cardio, and PE classes. A healing brain
has increased energy requirements, and restricting physical activity maximizes the amount of energy available
for the brain to recover. Also, by restricting leisure activities that could result in a second concussion such as
bike riding or skateboarding, the possibility of SecondImpact Syndrome is minimized. Second-Impact Syndrome occurs when a second head injury is sustained
before the first has completely resolved. This rare condition results in brain blood vessel congestion and can
progress to brain swelling and death. It is uncommon,
10
but all reported cases are in athletes younger than 20
years of age.
Cognitive Rest
Following a concussion, many student athletes will report difficulty with schoolwork, taking tests, and keeping up with assignments, especially in subjects like math
and science. Reading, even for fun, commonly worsens
symptoms. Cognitive rest is designed to minimize activities that require high levels of concentration and attention and allow for continued recovery. During the school
year, it is critical to work with teachers and school staff
to develop an appropriate rest and reintegration plan
and also to emphasize the message that cognitive and
behavioral deficits may persist long after the student appears to be physically recovered.
The range of allowed activities may be fluid during the
initial period of cognitive rest as the student will be hitting physical limits. Allowance for more time to complete assignments, reducing workload, shortening of the
school day, and even an outright leave of absence from
school may be considered. Standardized test taking
should be deferred until recovery is complete as any
such exam taken during this period of rest and reintegration may not be reflective of true ability.
The restriction on activities that require concentration
and attention should not just be applied to schoolwork.
Playing video games, using a smartphone or computer,
and watching television should be discouraged. Other
restrictions depend on the symptoms and are fairly common sense. If loud sounds cause headaches, don’t listen
to loud music or wear headphones. If bright lights cause
pain, wear sunglasses. If reaction times are slow, don’t
drive. Players with depression, anxiety, and attentiondeficit disorders may have symptoms that are worsened
by a concussion and make them more difficult to control.
Return to Play
Under no circumstances should youth athletes with
concussion return to play on the same day of their concussion. In general, no athlete should return to sports
until all symptoms have completely resolved. About
25% of athletes are symptom-free within the first week,
and 75% are at their baseline by three weeks. However,
this means that 25% of athletes with concussions may
take more than one month for resolution of symptoms.
The current recommendation is to use a symptombased approach for determination of return to play.
Continued medication use (such as ibuprofen for pain)
to control concussion symptoms indicates incomplete recovery. Before considering a return to play, any medications
used to reduce symptoms must be stopped and the athlete
must remain symptom-free off medication. Progression
from one stage to the next is dependent upon whether or
not that stage of activity causes recurrence of any sign or
symptom that was associated with the concussion.

There is increasing evidence that multiple concussions
have cumulative adverse effects on brain function. Athletes with a history of two or more concussions who did
not have a concussion in the previous six months performed similarly on neuropsychological testing as athletes without any previous concussion who suffered a
one within the previous week. Athletes with two or more
concussions also have statistically significant lower GPA
than non-concussed peers. A prolonged leave for sports
participation should strongly be considered for any athlete with 3 or more concussions in an individual season
or with more than 3 months of persistent symptoms.
Summary
In case of concussion:
1. Remove from play immediately
2. Have the player evaluated by someone experienced
in concussion evaluation
3. Provide physical and cognitive rest
4. Return to full play when no longer having symptoms after a progressive rehabilitation.
To paraphrase Taylor Swift, because the “players
wanna play, play, play,” as parents and coaches, our
duty is ensure that an immediate initial concussion evaluation is done properly, and is then followed by an athlete-specific return to play plan, and that players are not
encouraged to “shake it off, shake it off.” A

HEAT AND HYDRATION
I
t was almost full time on a typical sweltering,
SoCal, September Saturday. The outcome of
the game was no longer in question. Sitting on
the sidelines, I was just counting down the minutes before I could pack everything up into the
car and blast the air conditioning. Then, my wife
leaned over to me and asked, “Do you think he
looks really red? He’s barely moving.” I glanced
towards where she pointed. He was just standing there, face flushed, sweating profusely. “He really
does,” I said quietly. “He looks like he’s going to fall over.”
“Hey, AR!” I called out. “Need some water?”
Although August is traditionally the hottest month of
the year in Southern California, September and October
have their moments in the sun, right during the fall soccer season. To deal with heat, the human body sweats.
Heat is removed from the body when the sweat evaporates. When the ambient humidity (water vapor content
of the surrounding air) is low, then evaporation occurs
more rapidly, and increases the risk of dehydration.
When humidity is high, then evaporation occurs more
slowly, resulting in lower rate of heat removal. This results in the feeling of being overheated and increases
the risk of exertional heat illness.
Exertional heat illness occurs when the body generates or absorbs heat during physical activity faster than
it is able to eliminate it. Although most frequently happening during periods of high heat stress (high air temperature, high humidity, intense solar radiation), it can
occur in any temperature during vigorous exercise and
other physical activity. Other risk factors include young
athlete age (younger children have a greater body surface area-to-body mass ratio than adults and absorb
proportionately more heat from the air), insufficient recovery time between periods of vigorous exercise (such
as closely spaced tournament games) and inappropriately ventilated clothing that prevents effective sweat
evaporation).
Heat illness is a range of signs (what can be seen) and
symptoms (what is felt) that starts with simple thirst, but
can progress rapidly to muscle cramps, fainting, and
even life-threatening heat stroke.
Heat exhaustion is the term for moderate heat illness.
Signs and symptoms include weakness, dizziness, nausea, fainting and headache and are the result of the inability for the body to maintain adequate blood
circulation and pressure to the brain. The core body temperature can be over 104°F.
Heat stroke is the most severe form of heat illness and
12
is life-threatening. Individuals with heat stroke
may have delirium, seizures, or coma. Persistently elevated core body temperatures can lead
to heat injury (or damage) in the brain, heart,
liver, kidneys, and muscles, especially in those
where treatment is not initiated rapidly.
Although recent studies that show that youth
athletes are just as effective in regulating body
temperature as similarly fit adults and do not
have increased cardiovascular strain or lower exercise
tolerance, the most intervention for parents and coaches
is to ensure that there is proper hydration, before, during, and after physical exertion.
Pre-activity hydration
The goal of pre-activity hydration is to ensure that the
body can maximize the amount of heat release through
sweating. If the body is dehydrated, then sweat production will be lowered. This will lead to a decreased ability
to release heat, a more rapidly increasing core body temperature, and degraded physical performance.
• 250 to 350 mL (approximately 8 – 12 oz) over the
2-3 hours prior to activity for 9- to 12-year-olds
• 450 to 600 mL (approximately 15 – 20 oz) over the
2-3 hours prior to activity adolescent athletes
Immediately before and during activity, youth athletes
should avoid fruit juices (high sugar or carbohydrate
content slows fluid absorption) as well as carbonated
beverages (carbonation can lead to sensation of fullness
which decreases fluid intake) and caffeinated drinks (caffeine is a diuretic that increases urination).
During activity hydration
Children and adolescents may not recognize the need
to continuously hydrate during physical exertion and
may not understand that thirst is a late symptom of dehydration. Periodic drinking should be encouraged during physical activity to minimize sweating-induced
body-water deficits.
• 100 to 250 mL (approximately 3– 8 oz) every 20
minutes during activity for 9- to 12-year-olds
• 1.0 to 1.5 L (approximately 34 –50 oz) over each
hour of activity for adolescent boys and girls
Water is the best fluid for in-game hydration.
Post-activity hydration
The goal of post-activity hydration is to restore the body
to its optimized pre-activity hydration state. The most accurate way to rehydrate is to measure body weight before
and after activity. A 1 lb weight loss is roughly equivalent
to about 16 oz of fluid loss and should be rehydrated with
24 oz of fluid (or 1kg of weight loss is approximately 1L
of fluid loss and should be rehydrated with 1.5L of fluid).
More than 2-3% of body mass weight loss means that
there was inadequate hydration during activity.
Post-activity hydration should occur over several
hours. Assuming that the average competitive youth
soccer player will lose approximately 1.5% of body mass
over a game in warm-hot weather:
• At least 600 to 900 mL (approximately 20 - 30 oz)
for 9- to 12-year-olds, drinking about 200 - 300 mL
(approximately 6 – 10 oz) within 30 minutes after
activity ends, and the remainder over the next several hours, including fluids during meals.
• At least 1.0 to 1.5 L (approximately 34 –50 oz) for
adolescent boys and girls, drinking about 300 – 500
mL (approximately 10 – 16 oz) within 30 minutes
after activity ends, and the remainder over the next
several hours, including fluids during meals.
To calculate more precisely, the following equation can
be used:
Quantity of post-activity hydration = Pre-activity
weight * (pre-activity weight/post-activity
weight) * 1500 mL
Water is sufficient to maintain adequate hydration status
in almost all cases. However, where there are prolonged
sessions of more than 1 hour of continuous vigorous physical activity or repeated same-day sessions of strenuous exercise, electrolyte-supplemented beverages may be
warranted to optimize rehydration post-activity. This is especially justified when the humidity and heat stress are high
and sweat loss is extensive. Caution should be used in selecting these beverages as many include carbohydrates (like
sugars), which improve taste, but decrease absorption.
Actions
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that
during periods of high heat stress, coaches and parents:
1. Provide and promote consumption of readily accessible fluids at regular intervals before, during, and
after activity;
2. Allow gradual introduction and adaptation to the
climate, intensity, and duration of activities and uniform/protective gear;
3. Modify physical activity to decrease duration and/or
intensity, increase frequency and duration of breaks
(preferably in the shade), cancel or reschedule to
cooler time;
4. Provide longer rest/recovery time between same-day
sessions, games, or matches (at least two hours)
5. Avoid/limit participation if child or adolescent is currently or was recently ill
6. Closely monitor participants for signs and symptoms of developing heat illness;
7. Ensure that personnel and facilities for effectively
treating heat illness are readily available on site;
8. Promptly activate emergency medical services and
rapidly cool the child or adolescent in response to
moderate or severe heat stress.
If any player is observed to have changes in personality
or mental status; or appears extremely pale or brightred flushed; reports dizziness, headache, or excessive fatigue; has vomiting; or complains about feeling very cold
or extremely hot, that player should immediately stop
participation and first aid for heat illness should be
started immediately. Emergency medical services should
be activated immediately for any player with confusion
or altered mental status and be transported to a hospital
for advanced cooling measures.
Exertional heat illness is a potentially serious condition
that is exacerbated during periods of very high heat and
humidity. Providing adequate pre-activity, during activity,
and post-activity hydration to youth soccer players is critical to ensuring that they remain healthy and at their optimal level of performance.
And don’t forget the referees. We want them hydrated and at their optimal level of performance too. A

STRAINS AND SPRAINS
N
ationally, there has been a steady growth
in competitive youth sports over the past
fifty years. However, there has also been
an increase in sports-related injuries, like overuse, as youth athletes begin playing and specializing at increasingly younger ages. An overuse
injury occurs when there is microtrauma to bone
or soft tissue that is then subjected to repeated
stress without sufficient time to heal. More than
half of youth sports injuries are due to overuse. Over time,
prolonged competition intensity also leads to higher rates
of more serious injuries, such as microfractures of the
bony growth plates and ligamentous tears.
The type of injury varies by age and by gender. While
lower extremity injuries are the most common overall,
younger athletes (less than 13 years of age) are more
likely to have upper extremity problems, evenly distributed
between overuse and traumatic injuries. Teen athletes are
more likely to have overuse injuries than traumatic ones.
Still, high school athletes incur more than two million injuries annually, and more than 500,000 physician office
visits. Female athletes are at significantly greater risk of
overuse injury than their male counterparts and are also
more likely to have specific traumatic injuries, like anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. This gender difference in
sports injury epidemiology is thought to be due to a combination of many factors, including differences in strength
and flexibility, differences in physiology and anatomy, and
differences in biomechanics that place adolescent female
athletes in a period of rapid growth at risk for severe injury, or an injury that causes a loss of greater than three
weeks of sports participation.
At the high school level, the most common injuries are
fractures, complete ligament sprains, and the incomplete
ligament sprains. Among severe soccer injuries, the knee
is twice as likely to be injured than the ankle or the
head/face area and girls are twice as likely to have a severe knee injury than boys, including three times the
number of complete ligament sprains. Boys are twice as
likely to have fractures, however, which may not come
as a complete surprise to anyone who has watched a
boys U19 game. In general, there are no specific soccer
activities that raise the risk of injury, such as dribbling,
defending, or chasing a loose ball. However, incidental
contact with another player and rotation around a
planted foot are the most common mechanisms of injury.
A strain is a tendon or muscle-tendon injury as opposed
to a ligamentous injury. Grading is similar to that used for
sprains. A 1st degree strain involves overstretching of the
14
muscle or tendon fibers. It presents with minimal
swelling, tenderness, and no significant weakness. It can be treated with Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation (RICE) and a return to active
play can occur within 2-3 weeks. Re-injury is
common, as frequently, the youth athlete feels
“normal” long before the muscle fibers have
sufficiently healed and returns to participation
too early. Rehabilitation starts with gradually
stretching the muscle to elongate the healed muscle and
progressively increasing the muscle strength. Once this
has been achieved, the player can begin sport-specific exercises, such as running, jumping and kicking. A 2nd degree strain involves a partial disruption of the muscle or
tendon fibers and is marked by moderate swelling and
pain with moderate weakness. Treatment is similar, but
the rehabilitation period can stretch over 1-2 months. It
may be helpful to have physical therapy support this rehabilitation. A 3rd degree strain represents a complete
rupture of the muscle or tendon and is marked by severe
pain and weakness. This frequently requires surgical repair
and should be evaluated by a medical professional.
A sprain is any injury to a ligament or joint capsule.
Sprains are graded by extent of ligamentous disruption. A
1st degree sprain involves only slight stretching and limited
ligament fiber disruption and presents with minimal
swelling, tenderness, and no loss of joint stability. Treatment is simple with ice packs at the time of injury; no
splinting or casting is necessary. Elastic bandage wraps can
be used for comfort, but are not necessary. Weight bearing, range of motion, isometric stretching and strengthening exercises should be performed as tolerated. A 2nd
degree sprain involves a partial disruption of the ligament
(complete tears of some but not all of the ligamentous
fibers) and is marked by moderate swelling and pain with
limitation in range of motion and slight loss in stability.
Again, sideline treatment should begin with cold packs to
decrease swelling. However, these injuries should be immobilized with a splint. Physical therapy is frequently useful
to support range-of-motion, stretching, and strengthening
exercises. A 3rd degree sprain represents a complete rupture of the ligament and is marked by severe swelling and
pain and a total loss of joint stability. These injuries should
be immediately immobilized and then evaluated by a sports
medicine expert to assess the need for surgical reconstruction. There is typically a prolonged rehabilitation phase.
Although very uncommon in the younger age sports
participant, acute knee ligament injuries do occur and
increase in frequency during adolescence, especially in
soccer. Sports which require rapid leg planting and shifts
in direction have a higher incidence of these injuries.
The medial collateral ligament (MCL) sprain is the most
common knee injury in contact sports. This usually occurs
with a direct blow to the lateral aspect of the planted
leg, such as collision incurred when challenging for the
ball. Mild injury may not produce immediate disability
but moderate to severe injury usually causes immediate
pain and players often cannot return to play. There is usually a loss of active motion (player will not move the joint)
and strong resistance to passive motion (examiner moves
the joint) due to pain. If only the MCL is injured, treatment is fairly straight forward. Immobilization with complete rest for 2-3 days can be followed by progressive
rehabilitation, assisted ambulation, ice, and careful and
gradual stretching and strengthening programs. However, the mechanism of MCL injury predisposes to concomitant ACL and meniscal injury and any significant
swelling should prompt an evaluation by an orthopedic
surgeon, as surgery may be necessary. Athletes may return to play when there is with no pain with full range
of motion, equal strength, and no limp while running.
Injuries to the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) are uncommon at all ages, but especially in younger athletes
who are still growing as the LCL usually avulses, or pulls
off part of the bone to which it is attached before the
ligament is torn. As with MCL injuries, significant knee
laxity suggests other injuries and should prompt medical
evaluation. Partial tears may be rehabilitated similar to
partial MCL tears. Complete disruption requires orthopedic evaluation.
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) sprain is also uncommon and unusual in patients with open growth
plates. It occurs when force is applied posteriorly upon
the proximal tibia with the knee in flexion. Although
pain is sharp, the knee is usually stable. Most treatment
is non-operative with relative rest, immobilization, ice,
anti-inflammatory medications, assisted ambulation,
and stretching and strengthening rehabilitation. Radiographic studies are recommended, as surgical repair is
necessary if avulsion fractures are present. Surgical reconstruction applies only for failed rehabilitation.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sprains are the most
common ligamentous knee injury across all age groups.
Complete disruption of the ACL presents with the classic
“pop” sensation after the leg is planted, and either a
sudden change in direction is attempted or a blow (or
kick) is delivered to the side and back of the knee. An
ACL sprain is exquisitely painful. Almost always, athletes
cannot continue activity. Swelling worsens over several
hours and bleeding can cause a distended hemarthrosis
(bleeding into the joint) resulting in a painful, tender
knee. A joint capsule effusion is highly suggestive of ACL
injury. Many younger patients do well with non-operative therapy for partial ACL sprains: complete rest until
no longer swollen or painful at rest, followed by stabilization, assisted ambulation, stretching and strengthening exercises. Athletes who are still growing should have
radiographic evaluation to assess for any growth plate
fractures. Orthopedic consultation is recommended for
all ACL injuries, but not all ACL injuries require surgery.
Many athletes may benefit from surgery and results from
recent surgical techniques are good. Unfortunately,
there is a substantial risk of re-injury to the repaired ACL
and tearing of the other ACL as well. The reason for this
elevated risk is unknown at this time. What is known is
that the only way to reduce this risk is to stop playing.
Prevention strategies have been tried but none have
showed consistent efficacy in preventing ACL injury.
There is no good evidence to support the use of a knee
brace post-operatively following ACL repair. In general,
there are no knee brace designs that can prevent the
type of sudden force delivered to the back and side of
the knee that causes ACL injury or re-injury. Many orthopedic surgeons do not recommend their use routinely as
they may give the wearer a false sense of protection. A

FREQUENTLY ASKED QU
REGARDING CSL RULES, RE
GAME DAY ETIQUETTE
1. Do both teams sit together on one side of the
field and the parents on the other side of the
field?
Answer: No. CSL requires each team and their parents and spectators to sit on the opposite sides of the
field.
2. Who picks which side of the field a team sits on?
Answer: The HOME teams picks the side of the field
they want to sit on. The AWAY team uses the other side.
3. Who is the HOME team?
Answer: The HOME team
is the team listed 1st on the
Match Report.
4. Who supplies the Match
Report?
Answer: The HOME team
is to supply 3 copies of the
Match Report: One for the
referee to give to CSL, one
copy for the AWAY team and
one copy for the HOME team
to keep.
5. What happens if the
HOME team doesn’t
bring a Match Report?
Answer: CSL requests
every team, Home and Away,
to bring Match Reports. This way, in case the
HOME team does not have a Match Report,
the Away team may supply it and the game
can proceed. If nobody brings a match report,
then each team will need to write their team’s
roster on a blank piece of paper and give it
to the referee. THERE WILL BE NO FORFEIT if
the HOME team fails to supply a Match Report.
6. What team is required to supply a
game ball?
Answer: The HOME team supplies the
game ball. Preferably the HOME team will
provide 3 game balls. If the HOME team can’t
supply the game ball, then the Away team
supplies the game ball.
16
7. What happens when both teams have the same
or similar colored jerseys?
Answer: The referee will ask the HOME team to
switch jerseys. If they do not have another colored jersey,
then the referee will ask the Away team to switch jerseys. A game will not be forfeited because a team does
not have a second set of jerseys.
8. Who signs the Match Report?
Answer: Both teams have a representative sign the
Match Report and each representative is required
to keep a copy of the Match Report. All disputes
are settled by what is contained on the Match Report. Each team representative must carefully inspect the Match Report for any errors before they
sign it. The information on a signed Match Report
is usually the determining factor in any dispute.
9. What if my team wants to file a protest of
the game?
Answer: For non-Premier teams, this topic is
covered in the CSL Rules which are on line and in
the CSL APP. For PREMIER TEAMS – this topic is
covered in the CSL Premier Contract.
YELLOW AND RED CARDS
1. My player got a yellow card in a game.
What does that mean?
Answer: It means he/she has been “cautioned”
and that the next time he/she commits a “cardable” foul, he/she is
ejected from the game. To
learn what a “Cardable”
foul is, read the Laws of
the Game. In addition, a
yellow card is charged to
the team as one (1) Penalty
Point.
2. My player did get a
second (2nd) yellow
card in a game. What
does that mean?
Answer: When a player
receives a second (2nd)
yellow card in a single
game, the player is sent off
the field and cannot go
ESTIONS AND ANSWERS
GULATIONS AND POLICIES
back on the field for the rest of the game. In addition,
the player is SUSPENDED from playing in the next league
game. The player may not even suit up for the game but
the player may attend the game. The
team will be charged with a total of three
(3) Penalty Points for a “Double Yellow”
carded player in a game. One (1) point for
the 1st yellow card and two (2) more
points for the 2nd yellow card. The effect
is the same has the player having received
a Red Card. However, with a “Double Yellow” card, the player only needs to sit out
the next league game. That is difference
in the penalty for a player who receives a
straight red card.
3. My player did get a straight “RED
CARD”. What happens now?
Answer: The player is immediately
ejected from the game and is suspended
for the next two (2) league
games at the very minimum. If
the referee believes the player
engaged in what is referred to
as “Violent Conduct” foul, the
referee will keep the player’s Cal
South Player Pass, write a Supplemental Report (not contained
on the Match Report) and them
mail the Players Pass and the
Supplemental Report to CSL and
Cal South. Both entities may
hold hearings and suspend the
player for additional games and
possibly for even more severe
sanctions. Please see pages 90
and 91 in the CSL Handbook.
The team will also be charged
with three (3) Penalty Points for the RED CARD.
4. A parent was just sent off the field by the referee but was not shown a RED CARD. What does
that mean and what happens now?
Answer: The Laws of the Game do not allow a referee to “show” a coach, spectator or a parent a “Red
Card”. They are not players and only players receive red
cards. The referee must “send off” the coach, parent or
spectator, meaning they must leave the immediate area
and be completely out of the view from anyone at the
field or the game will be stopped and the team from
which the “Sent off” individual is from will forfeit the
game. For CSL and Cal South purposes, a “send off”
has a similar effect as a “red card” for
the coach, parent and spectator.
If the Coach is sent off, he/she is suspended from coaching for the remainder of the current game and suspended
from coaching and even attending the
next two (2) league games. The team is
also charged with three (3) Penalty Point
as well.
If a parent is sent off, the league will
attempt to identify the parent and require that the team inform the parent
not to attend the next two (2) games.
We all know that is difficult so an “Unknown Player” is charged with the RED
CARD and the team is charged with the
three (3) Penalty Points.
5. What if the “SENT OFF” parent or
spectator is from a CSL Premier
Team?
Answer: A completely different rule applies. Pursuant to the CSL Conditional Acceptance Contract, the Coach has agreed in
writing that if a parent or spectator is “Sent
Off” from his/her team, he/she can continue
coaching the remainder of the game but
will serve the parent’s two (2) game suspension and not coach or even attend the next
two (2) league games.
6. Our Coach received a RED CARD. May
he or she come to the game if he or
she does not coach the game?
Answer: NO. The Coach may NOT come
to the game. Any Coach found guilty of coaching while
on suspension shall be subject to a fine and/or an additional period of suspension and their team may be subject to forfeiture of the game. To aid in the enforcement
of this rule, coaching is defined as any interaction or
communication of any kind with any player, any interaction or communication of any kind with opposing
coach/team, and any interaction or communication of
any kind with game officials, AND/OR being within visibility of the field and/or Complex on game day. Violation of any of the above will be in violation of the
17
suspension. CSL Rules, Section 20, Paragraph H.
7. One of our players was given a RED CARD. May
he or she attend the game?
Answer: Yes, the player may attend the game but the
player may not be in uniform or wear a team jersey.
8. May a RED CARD be reversed by a protest, appeal or some other administrative method?
Answer: No. There is only ONE opportunity that allows a RED CARD to be rescinded. That opportunity is
that brief moment in time before the referee blows the
whistle to restart the game after the RED CARD has
been issued. If the referee should change his mind before he/she blows the whistle, he/she can revoke the
RED CARD. But if he/she blows the whistle and restarts
the game, the RED CARD cannot be rescinded by any
method. Even the argument that the referee misapplied
the laws of the game does not affect a RED CARD because a Red Card is based solely on the referee’s judgment and not the application of the Laws of the Game.
9. What effect do PENALTY POINTS have on a
team?
Answer: Any team accumulating twenty (20)
Penalty/Disciplinary Points during the season shall be
subjected to a loss of (1) point in the appropriate standings. If thirty (30) Penalty/Disciplinary points are accumulated during the season, two (2) additional points
shall be deducted from the team’s standings (for a total
of three (3) points in the standings). In the event a team
accumulates forty (40) Penalty/Disciplinary Points in the
season, the team shall be immediately suspended from
further participation in CSL Gaming Circuit sponsored
events. If a team is suspended under this rule, all games
played and yet to be played for the current season may
be declared forfeit.
This answer is taken directly from Page 91 of the CSL
Handbook.
CASTS AND BRACES
1. My player has a hard cast and wants to play. Can
he/she play in the game?
Answer: No. CSL and Cal South both have the rule
that players wearing HARD CASTS, even if substantially
wrapped, are not allowed to participate in a game. The
rule is NOT subject to an on the field referee’s judgment
call. This CSL Rule is found in the CSL RULES under
PLAYER SAFETY.
2. My player is wearing a doctor approved and prescribed brace. Can he/she play in the game?
Answer: Whether a player may wear a knee brace,
or any other type of brace, or not, will be up to the dis-
18
cretion of the referee on the field, who will be able to
determine the safety of the brace. CSL Rule: Section 14,
Player Safety, Paragraph J.
CSL personnel are not allowed to override the judgment of the “On Field Referee”. The referee’s decision
is final.
TRANSFERS FROM ONE CSL TEAM TO
ANOTHER CSL TEAM DURING THE CSL
LEAGUE SEASON – September 1st thru
December 14th.
1. One of our team members wants to transfer to
another CSL Club. May the player transfer and
play in any CSL League game?
Answer: Any player who transfers from one (1) CSL
team to another CSL team from September 1st thru December 10th (or the last CSL scheduled league or league
cup game, which ever comes first) MAY NOT participate
in any further CSL League or League Cup game for the
remainder of the current league season.
This provision includes transfers for players within the
club they are currently registered with. However, this
rule does not affect any play for any tournaments or
other events outside the scope of CSL League and
League Cup games.
CSL PREMIER MAGAZINE
1. When will my team’s article be in the CSL Premier Magazine?
Answer: CSL Premier prints five (5) issues of the CSL
Premier Magazine. The Premier Committee has asked
every CSL Premier team for an article. All team articles
were to be submitted to the CSL Premier Committee by
September 21, 2015. If your team submitted an article,
your team’s article will be in the Premier Magazine. The
exact issue of the CSL Premier Magazine in which your
team’s article will appear is unknown at this time but it
will be in one of the issues. If it is not in, it is because
we never received an article from your team.
2. How do I get a copy of a picture of a player that
is in the Premier Magazine?
Answer: The Premier Photographers are BILL REESE
and GARY CAMPBELL. They can be reached by email at:
[email protected].
3. I was not present at UCI when my team’s article
was published and distributed at the fields. How
do I get a copy of that magazine?
Answer: There are copies of every past issue of the
magazine at the CSL Premier Tent at UCI. Just come to
the tent and ask for a copy or copies of the magazine
you want. They will be happy to give them to you. A
BOYS UNDER 14
TFA-OC
T
otal Futbol Academy – OC (“TFA-OC”) is led
by Coach Marius Rus. Coach Rus has
coached this team since they were U8’s.
TFA-OC is entering its 2nd year in the Premier Division after capturing the U14 championship with
an undefeated 9-0-3 record in 2014.
The team is excited to take on the challenge of
trying to repeat as champions in the most competitive
league and division in Southern California. Since last fall,
the team has accomplished quite a bit including several
tournament championships with most notable being
2015 U14 Dallas Cup Championship. Dallas Cup was a
significant accomplishment for this team as Dallas Cup
is the most noted International Invitational Tournament
held in the United States. The team swept through pool
play with a record of 3-0 with wins over teams from Dallas, Guatemala and Utah. That’s when the craziness
began. The quarterfinal against Lonestar Academy went
to PKs and in the middle of PK’s our keeper, Sean
O’Brien, was injured with a separated shoulder. In
stepped our tallest player, Aaron Tebay, who has never
played keeper and he led us to a victorious round. In the
Semi Final, again without our keeper and with defender
Ryan Kay filling in, we faced TSA Hurricanes (Oklahoma), the previous year’s finalist, and in the 2nd OT
Aaron Tebay scored the eventual game winner for the
1-0 win. In the finals, the team faced FC Dallas Academy
at FC Dallas Stadium with the game being broadcast on
Time Warner Cable. Captain
Tye
Hernandez
opened the scoring on a
pass from Kevin Bahena.
FC Dallas answered later
in the 1st half. The team
played a hard fought
game and with a 1-1
score they again found
themselves in PK’s. Aaron
Tebay again stepped in to
the keeper role for the
PK’s and saved 3 attempts
to send the team to the
title. This was a tremendous accomplishment for
the boys and we look forward to defending our
crown.
The team has established itself as one of the
top teams at this age group and for a period of
time the team has been ranked in the top 10 nationally. We have added some exciting players to
the roster over the summer. The team’s roster is
as follows: Gen Akamatsu, Steven Arreola, Kevin
Bahena, Edwin Camacho, Ryan Candelario, Philip
Figuerres, Paco Hanon, Gabe Hernandez, Nic Hernandez, Tye Hernandez, Tyler Johnson, Ryan Kay, Kevyn
Lopez, Connor Molloy, Sean O’Brien, Eddy Ojeda, Steve
Perez, Ethan Ryver, Matt Sansone, Aaron Tebay. The
boys are hardworking players and are grateful for the
sacrifices their parents make to support their soccer
development. A

BOYS UNDER 14
FRAM BRITTON
F
RAM BU14 Britton, a team from the South
Bay of Los Angeles County, is honored to
have qualified for the Premier League division
their first year of eligibility. The boys appreciate
Coach Andrew Britton’s emphasis on hard work
and the value of proper conditioning as major
factors in their success. They are excited about
the season and the opportunity to play the best
teams in Coast Soccer League.
Coach Britton said “I am most proud of my team’s
ability to maintain a positive attitude and strong work
ethic in training and games. They are very eager to learn
the game and try to improve all the time, which makes
them an ideal group of players to work with.
“Our goal for the season is to improve every day and
work harder than everyone else. If we can stay focused
and be driven to improve our on field performance and
academic achievements, then it will set us up for many
future successes both short and long term.”
“The most important thing the boys can do when
they are not practicing is to show a level of maturity beyond their age. This could also be described as ‘professionalism.’ As the old cliché goes, ‘If you can't get it right
off the field, then you won't get it right on the field.’
Players need to make sure that they maintain proper nutrition, get the right amount of sleep and rest, and do
extra work on their own. All of this, while keeping up
with their school work, is very important. Additionally
important is maturity in their decision making, whom
they spend their time with, and what they spend their
time doing. It's important to surround yourself with likeminded people who will support your ambitions and not
distract you from reaching your goals.”
Coach Britton, has had varied experience, including a
role, as a teenager, in Soccer Dog: The Movie, a film that
did not vie for a best-picture award. Thereafter, he de-
20
clined to join the sequel’s cast and has concentrated on playing soccer with and teaching it to
human beings. He has coached FRAM teams for
many years and currently holds a Cal South National D License, a USSF National C License, a
USSF National B License and a USSF National A
License. He has been the coach of this team since
it formed in the BU9 division of FRAM. About a
third of the current team was part of the inaugural
group and about half have been with the team since
BU11. The fifteen members of the team have several
years of club experience each. A few have been invited
to ODP tryouts and one member has been on the 2001
ODP team for two years running.
The team started out in the Silver Elite division, advanced to Gold, spent a couple of years with Southern
California Developmental League as Tier 1, and returned
last year to Coast Soccer League in the Gold North division. They earned an invitation to California Regional
League following an outstanding performance at State
Cup in 2013. They have had many successes in Cal
South tournaments including back to back championships in the Eagles Summer Classic (2013 and 2014),
and most recently were quarterfinalists in the 2015 Surf
Cup. Others often ask the origin of the name FRAM, assuming it is an acronym. That’s not the case and the heritage of the club is quite unique.
Pursuant to the Nazis invading Norway during World
War II, many members of Norwegian merchant marine
who were at sea at the time came to America (and other
allied nations) to assist in the war effort. More than a
few landed at the ports of Los Angeles (San Pedro) and
Long Beach. At the war’s end the Norwegian fleet was
restored, these port visits increased, and according to
official record “the ships remained in port for many
days, often weeks, discharging and loading their cargo.
The crews were bored.” Since soccer matches between
seamen and shore based teams were a popular recreational activity, the Norwegian Seamen’s Church in San
Pedro searched for appropriate locales. Married to a
woman from Norway, Kelvin Vanderlip, son of Frank
Vanderlip, the so-called father of Palos Verdes, offered
an 8.67-acre lot in what is now Rolling Hills Estates and
a deal was made at the price of $500 an acre. It was
christened Nansen Field, after Norwegian explorer and
diplomat/humanitarian, Fridtjof Nansen. And as it happens, FRAM was the name of his ship. So, it is fitting
that FRAM translated from Norwegian is “forward.”
Our hopes and dreams for all our FRAM players is that
as they move forward in life they progress in their soccer
journey and achieve their goal of playing at the highest
level possible. Good luck to all the Premier teams and
may everyone have a great season. A

SOUTHWEST SWSC ELITE
S
outhwest SWSC Elite (formerly Olimpia SC)
are very excited to start their third consecutive year in Premier level, not an easy task but
this boys with their determination and hard work
and guidance of their coach Alberto Alcazar, are
definitely at the top of their game and it shows
every time they step into the field.
Their commitment is to better themselves as individual and team players and to be playing at the highest competitive level, and Coast Soccer League has been
a pivotal instrument to their development providing that
competitive environment.
Southwest SWSC Elite originated out of the Fontana
area. This talented players from the Inland Empire are not
new to the game, they have been playing club soccer and
escalating from Bronze all the way to the top Premier level,
all that with sacrifice and hard work, and now they’re
starting to harvest the rewards of their dedication. At the
this article was written, their National ranking is 64, Region
4 ranking is 29, and California South ranking is 11.
Top level competition and intensity of the game is
what they love. For that reason they’re always look for
opportunities to grow and better themselves, looking to
participate at the toughest tournaments like SCNPL (National Premier League) where they were finalist, San
Diego Surf tournament, NHB Cup, Strikers Cup, Cerritos
Premier, Players Cup (Vegas), and many more.
Since the formation of the team in 2005, it has been
trained and coached by Alberto Alcazar a former college
player himself, Alberto brings years of experience to the
team. He has played at both the semi and professional
level after an impressive high school and college soccer
experiences. Alberto’s philosophy for the boy’s team emphasizes technical and tactical development of each player
as an individual and as a team member.
This team embraces the concept of developing local
committed athletes over the long term. The current roster
consists of seventeen boys and all of them are scholar athletes and on honor roll at their respective high schools.
One of the key objectives of the Club is to teach the
players the importance of being involved and giving
back to their community, as well as be
good citizens and
excel in their academics.
Southwest SWSC
Elite team is anticipating
continued
success during Coast
League and is looking
forward to League
Cup,
tournament
play and Nationals. The first goal of the team is
for ongoing improvement in each player's game
and teamwork. They have learned success comes
from commitment, desire and hard work on both
the practice and game field. Secondly, and just as
important, is helping each player realize their potential in soccer and reaching their personal goals,
whether it is to play club and high school, or to
continue to play at the University level and beyond.
Just a few weeks ago eight of our players were invited
by Mexican professional team academy Toluca, to spend
a week in their training camp in Mexico City, where they
got the opportunity to train with the team roster players,
guided by their professional trainers and coaches who, by
the way, provided constructive feedback and pointed out
areas where they can improve and how to improve, as
well as their strengths and how to reinforce them. From
this experience our very own Erick Ibarra was selected by
the Toluca coaches to be part of the team roster that will
be competing in a prestigious tournament in Brazil in the
coming months. Also, just a few months ago, two other
players from out team were traveling to Ireland with a selected team roster competing at an international tournament. This is what Southwest
SWSC team is all about.
Southwest SWSC Elite team players are;
Strikers Alfredo Moreira, Erick Ibarra, Leamzy
Valdez, Jose Rojas, and Johan Medina. Midfielders Marcus Castañeda, Jorge Martinez,
Bryan Gonzalez, Steven Alcazar, Francisco
Sanudo, and Mauricio Jimenez. Defenders
Dimitris Guzman, Marco Peña, Antonio Martinez, Adrian Mota, and Andrew Granados.

FC DEPORTIVO LA – PANTERAS
A
fter several years of competing in recreational leagues, this team started participating in Coast Soccer League 6 years ago,
one of the most competitive youth leagues in
Southern California. Coaches Javier Ocampo &
Rene Hernandez created a new Soccer Club in
which we have worked hard to be the first and
the best club competing in this region. The club
serves young players who love soccer and are serious in
their development as players.
Year after year of winning their brackets, we reached
the Premier Level. The FC Los Angeles Panteras BU16
team, led and coached by Rene Hernandez, is looking
forward to their third year in this the 2015 CSL Premier
League Season.
This team has won different and important tournaments that have helped the team gain the recognition
it now has. There is a lot of hope for this team and its
players, not only in this year’s Premier League, but in
22
their future endeavors as well.
The goal for FC Los Angeles- Panteras is to continue to play at the highest level of competition
while continuing to learn all aspects of the game
and to keep developing players to their full potential so they can reach their maximum goals.
We want to encourage and motivate our players
to be disciplined on the field and outside of the
field. We always stress to our players the importance of
being the best at this level and the great opportunities
that soccer can bring to their future careers.
In this team, we are positive we will have the pleasure
and satisfaction to see some of our players playing at
Colleges, Universitys, or at the Professional level and that
is what keeps us motivated to continue on this challenging journey. Last year it has been the coaches’ and parents’ dedication that has kept this team together for the
3rd year in Premier. So Let's Go Panteras!! For more information please go to www.fclapanteras.com. A

OXNARD WAVE SOCCER CLUB
O
xnard Wave BU16 began as a U8 team
playing the local leagues. The team has
been led by our parent volunteer coach
Igor Lumbrano. Coach Igor has also successfully
led local high school teams to undefeated seasons. Coach Igor has been dedicated to developing his players. The team joined Oxnard Wave
Soccer Club (an all-volunteer organization) during its U9 season when it began competing at the
Bronze level in Coast Soccer League. Through
perseverance, patience and hard work, the team
moved up levels. The team would like to thank
the coaches, administrator and parents for all
their support.
2014 was a banner year for the team as it took
first place in Cal South’s State Cup President Division, advancing to and winning the Region VI
championship. This gave the team the opportunity to
represent Oxnard and Region VI at
the President’s National Cup in
Greenville, South Carolina. In the
fall Wave went on to win the CSL
Gold bracket with undefeated
record.
This year the team proved its
readiness to compete at the highest

BYSC CORONA UNITED
B
YSC Corona United is located in the Circle
City where the 91 and 15 freeways meet. In
a region where there is no shortage of clubs
to choose from and satellite teams popping up on
every block, it is more important than ever for
BYSC to set itself apart. BYSC is devoted to the
development of it's players and playing an attractive style of soccer.
BYSC G99 is one of 4 teams club wide competing in
the CSL Premier Division including G01, G98 and the
2014 CSL Premier Champions, B98. Although the club
is no stranger to the CSL Premier Division, this is the first
year G99 earned an invitation.
For the last 4 years the team has been led by Coach
Lynsey Jalayer. Coach L. Jalayer is a former collegiate
soccer player at California Baptist University. She was Co
Captain of her team when they reached the quarter finals of the NAIA National Championship in 2003. That
year she was also selected to the All-Conference team
for the second straight year in the Golden State
Athletic Conference and later earned a Master's degree in Sport Management. L. Jalayer
coached at the high school level for two years
and has been coaching at the Junior College
level for the past 11 years. She brings an abundance of knowledge to her club teams and enjoys working with youth players because she
has the opportunity to mold them before they
reach the collegiate level.
BYSC G99 is filled with passionate players
who have persevered to reach the Premier
level. With a core group of girls who began
24
playing in the club together as early as U9, the
team has added talented and committed players
over the years and have continuously raised their
level of play. Over the last few years, BYSC G99
had a great showing in League Cup, consistently
competed well in tournaments, with their share of
championships, and even made it to the quarter
finals of National Cup in 2014.
This season BYSC G99 will face one of it's biggest
challenges to date. The team has discussed expectations
and knows there is still more work to be done. The girls
have learned that they can never take a day for granted.
There is always another player or another team working
just as hard or harder. When they accomplish one goal,
they are only faced with a new challenge. The team is
determined to become even better this season and
knows that CSL Premier offers some of the best competition around. A
GIRLS UNDER 17
INLAND EMPIRE SURF
T
he Inland Empire Surf G98 team plays in the
Premier Division of Coast Soccer League
(CSL). They are coached by Jenna Sanchez
and managed by Bryan Young, who also serves as
Club President. Jenna is currently the assistant
coach for San Bernardino Valley College and The
Webb Schools and played her collegiate career as
a defender at Cal State University – San
Bernardino coached under the direction of Diego Bocanegra and Travis Clarke. Sanchez was all conference
multiple times during her career and finished her collegiate career as captain for the 2010-2011 season.
This is the girl’s third season playing at the Premier
level and they are looking forward to a fun and exciting
year at U17. The team has seen players come and go
but the core group of girls have been playing together
since U10. Over the years, this team has had its share
of success in tournaments and league play but what
makes this team so special is the intense bond of friendship between the girls on
and off the field. This
team is truly a family and
its shows.
The girls come from
many different communities throughout the Inland
Empire and play on their
high school varsity teams
(Redlands East Valley,
Cajon, Yucaipa, Citrus Valley, Etiwanda, Alta Loma,
Grand Terrace, Heritage,
Oak Hills, Summit, Claremont, Webb, Granite
Hills). As well as being
adept on the soccer pitch,
they also participate in
other school sports such
as Volleyball, Cross Country, Track and Field, and
even Tennis. Along with
hitting the field, they are
also hitting the books
with a cumulative GPA of
3.75 and many are taking
AP and Honors classes.
The intent and focus of
this year’s team is to get them exposed to college
coaches. All of the girls plan on attending college
and most would like to continue with soccer. With
this in mind, the girls will be attending many
showcases and ID camps this season. Already on
the schedule is the Surf Thanksgiving showcase
(San Diego) and the Las Vegas Players Showcase.
Last year the team made a deep run in the 2015
Cal South National Cup losing the quarterfinal game in
PK’s. No one knows what the future holds for this talented group of girls but everyone including the Surf
family, parents, and coaches are extremely proud of
them and hope they have a fun, exciting, and SAFE
season! A
The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in
sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is
looking. – Mia Hamm

BOYS UNDER 18
F.C. GOLDEN STATE WHITE
2015 BU18 USYS NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
F
.C. Golden State White finished a fabulous
year by bringing it all to the field when it
counted and winning the BU18 USYSA National Championship.
This was the third year in a row that the team
earned a spot in the National Championships.
The year started with winning the Got Soccer
Tournament in Las Vegas and NHB for the third
successive year and then the team added first place finishes in California Regional League, Surf Cup, Cerritos
Cup, UCSC Regional IV Championships and the West
Coast Futbol Classic. The team added Semi Finalists for
the third year in a row at Dallas Cup and Quarter Finalists at Cal South National Cup. At National League, after
winning the league the year before, the team tied their
last game 3-3 and lost out on a berth by one goal and
now had to win Regionals or CRL to go back to the National Championships.
After winning 5 games in a row at USYS Region IV
Championships, the team came up
short in the 106 degree weather finals
in Idaho and went back to prepare for
the Nationals. After losing the opening
match 2-1 to the same team as the finals in Regionals, the boys had their
backs against the wall entering the second and third game where they would
face the reigning 2014 National Champion(same team they lost to in Dallas
Cup).
True champions answer the biggest
challenges with excitement and determination and F.C. Golden State White are true champions!! After beating FC Dallas 3-1 they faced the 2014
Champions and played extremely well again to defeat
Manhattan SC Paris Saint Germain 1-0 and earned a spot
in the semifinals. Setting up a rematch from the year before against Cincinnati United SC Cup Gold, which had
the most goals in National League and pool play thus far,
in the Nationals. Once again FC Golden State prevailed
and shut out Cincinnati to win a spot in the finals!
The finals were now a rematch with Las Vegas Red,
the same team they came up short to in the Regionals and the first game of pool play. Time for
the boys to forget the past and change the present and future! The team came out with a mission and would not be stopped in their quest for
a National Championship. Playing near perfect
and beautiful soccer, the boys scored two beautiful goals and held off a full press by Las Vegas
which yielded one late goal but too little too late and
the team proudly claimed their prize—2015 National
Champions and proudly representing Cal South and
Coast Soccer Premier League!!
This team worked harder than ever before in its history
and at an age that normally gives way to distractions.
This team should be commended for showing true dedication and unfaltering energy and determination! We,
the FC Golden State coaches are very proud of this team
and are sure they will succeed in life as well as soccer in
the very bright future ahead for them. A
