Hello all CA-10 commuters! Today we have a special treat for everyone as we post the first installment of our "Eye on LA: Meet the Staff". We begin today with a glimpse into the life of our wonderful Program Director, Amy Fleischauer.Amy found SCORES in 2005 when she responded to a craigslist.com listing for a soccer coaching position. She was hired and coached middle school girls soccer before moving into the position of Program Director a couple years later. Throughout her time as Program Director she has helped expand middle school programming as well as lay the foundation to what is now the first SCORES Alumni program. Her goal for this upcoming Spring season is to strengthen and further develop the Alumni program as well as find a way for our middle school team to compete with other schools.
In her free time Amy enjoys taking walks on the beach and eating mangoes, her favorite fruit. If its cold outside she'll stay in and curl up with a good book, preferably Where the Red Fern Grows--check it out here, its a tear-jerker. If she's exercising you'll most likely find her on the soccer field frustrating forwards on defense and giving goalies nightmares on offense. Her favorite athlete is Laker great Earvin "Magic" Johnson.
Amy's ideal vacation spot would somewhere that is not as industrialized as the US--El Salvador maybe? Really it could be anywhere, as long as there aren't too many sharks to frighten her away--she's brave but we all have our fears.
Amy has to have at least one hug a day and for her first concert saw The Rolling Stones!
Along with all these interesting facts, Amy is a fun and energetic coach while remaining a focused and dedicated Program Director. She is a strong and positive role model all our students can and should look up to.

Hello Amy,
Its wonderful to see LA SCORES Moving on up! Your dedication to the program shows Our Braddock Children love you! Come visit us any time!
How did you like El Salvador? That's my country of birth haven't been there in almost 30 years. What I remember about is was sad, and pretty.
The war was devastating but country living was fun.
