GAMEDAY!!

Thursday, October 10, 2013



     Last Friday was the very first game day of the season and it couldn't have gone better! The children were full of energy and it felt like they had so much to spare that the coaches themselves fed off of it. Charnock provided 13 of their very own 6th graders to be referees. All of the games were really intense; there wasn't a clean domination over any of the teams on any of our six fields.
     I, coach Nahoul, took charge of one of the Palms boys teams and we played against coach Armond's Charnock boys team. This was, in my opinion, one of the most suspenseful, energetic, passion felt games I have ever seen. It was back and forth; shot after shot after shot from both teams. Isaac Osuna, a player from Charnock, caused serious problems for us but it was handled by our composed defense. The game ended in a 1-1 draw with both teams shaking each others hand and not letting the heat of the game affect their friendship in any way.
     Looking at last Friday as an example, I'm pretty sure we will be in for a pleasant afternoon filled with exciting games from both the girls and boys side.
     I hope everybody goes and shows their support!

My Second Year at LA Scores!

Wednesday, October 2, 2013
My name is Clay Knobler and I am an intern at LA Scores.  I've worked both at the office and coached at different LA Scores affiliated schools during my two years with the program.  Last year I began to work with LA Scores because my high school, Wildwood, has an internship program where each student must work at an internship cite.  I value service immensely and knew that LA Scores, an organization that has helped build the character of countless young people, would be a great fit for me.   Although the prospect of working in an service-oreinted environment drew me to LA Scores, excitable kids, kind staff members, and a terrific curriculum kept me here.  After the end of my school year I requested to continue working with LA Scores.  Why would I ever want to stop working along side incredible individuals who genuinely care about the terrific children they teach?
So I am currently interning at LA Scores again this year and I couldn't be happier!  Last week I visited an LA Scores school and fell in love with the program all over again.  I really appreciate the work that the coaches and teachers at LA Scores do and how it helps shape children into the most mature, responsible young people that they can be.
