It has been another successful Super Y League season for players from the Tsawwassen Soccer Club (TSC).
Nineteen TSC boys and girls represented Coastal FC in all age groups ranging from U11-U16. The Super Y League features elite boys and girls clubs with teams competing throughout North America.
Coastal FC is one of seven clubs that compete in the Y-League's Northwest Division. The division also features Mountain WFC, Surrey Revolution, Abbotsford Mariners, Coquitlam Metro Ford, West Coast Capitals (Victoria) and Thompson-Okanagan (Kelowna).
Teams finishing in first or second place secure spots in the USL Super Y-League Championships which will be held this December in Tampa. Five Tsawwassen players have earned themselves a trip to Florida.
Eric Swanson, of the U13 Coastal boys team, and four from Coastal's U14 boys team - Brendan Waterman, Vikram Puri, Noah Chimich, and Sam Dyck. The U14s, led by TSC Academy coaches Michael Perucho and Doug Dyck, finished at the top of the Y-League's Northwest Division.
Meanwhile, four girls with Tsawwassen connections have been plying their trade for various provincial teams this summer.
Olivia Sheppard, who will be suiting up for the South Fraser U14 girls in the upcoming inaugural B.C. Premier League season, excelled with the U13 provincial team, while Tsawwassen product and Semiahmoo Metro standout Hannah Carrothers has had a run out with the U14 side.
Alessia Azermadhie and Emma Kallner, both of the Coastal "A" Cup U15 finalists Tsawwassen Thunder, have enjoyed success with the U15 squad, culminating with a gold medal at the recent Western Canada Summer Games in Kamloops with a 3-1 over Manitoba in the final.
Corner kicks.... Tsawwassen's U16 Gold girls team is looking for a dedicated goalkeeper or another field player for the 2011-12 season. Anyone interested can contact Chris at 604-943-1081.
