AYSO Region 20!

Wednesday, November 18, 2015
Aside from providing a world-class soccer program to the youth they also willingly support other programs. Last year, AYSO Region 20 came out to one of our very own Game Days and gave our student-athletes the opportunity to select a new pair of cleats from their donated soccer cleats collection as well as a jersey to accompany their cleats. Their generous gesture has contributed to the lives of our youth in a small yet impactful manner. To our students who don't have the resources to get high end cleats and have this opportunity to own a pair now is amazing! Their genuine excitement, enthusiasm, and smiles created such an enjoyable atmosphere not only for us coaches but also of the parents, volunteers, and donors. 
So needless to say, THANK YOU AYSO REGION 20!
An extra special thank you to the girls who helped our student-athletes pick out their jersey and pair of cleats! Huge shout out to Ava, Isabelle, Liv, Olivia, and Karina!

Kings Game

Tuesday, November 10, 2015
Earlier this fall we took our Alumni to a Kings game which was an amazing experience!
Our group consisted of high school students and graduates who have been consistent in their participation with SCORES.

We had a great turn out with the Kings giving everybody a show in winning 3-2 in OT. Our alumni really enjoyed the experience! 


Huge THANK YOU to AEG and Matt Rosenfeld for helping in continuing this annual tradition for
our Alumni group!

Last Week's Review

Monday, November 9, 2015
Good Morning Everybody!!

Just a small review of last week;
The Palms Middle School Girls Futsal Soccer team played in the District Wide Futsal Finals last Saturday representing the entire LAUSD West Region. The girls held their own in a tough Semi-final. Unfortunately, they lost 2-0 and wanton to play for 3rd or 4th place. In their  game there were some controversial calls being made by the referee, but as any athlete knows, you must not let that dictate your game. Thats exactly what happened! The girls changed their attitude after being down 1-0 throughout the game and tied it to take them to penalties. The girls did an ASTOUNDING job. Goalkeeper Daniela Estrada blocked 3 of 5 penalties taken! As luck would have it, the last penalty taken wasn't quite enough to put the girls in 3rd place. Palms took home the 4th place trophy. On the other hand the girls were the best team in the West Region and their coaches couldn't be more proud of them.

In other news LA received a light shower in Tuesday that lead our elementary school programs to do indoor activities. Palms Elementary played a couple of rounds of heads-up-7-up before ending with some poetry. 

Game Day had a slight change as one of our schools didn't have enough players to support two teams. First time ever in America SCORES LA history that we had to run only 3 games! Lets hope thats not the case again this up coming Friday.

Hope everybody had a great weekend!
