<br />
This week, Friday, we will be having the Charnock Elementary Kids play against Palms Elementary Kids at Palms Elementary while Braddock stays at their school to being tactics. This give the coaches a great opportunity to get a game plan going and begin a strategy plan. The kids have enjoyed hosting the gamedays at their sites and being able to travel to the other school. I think what they miss most about being able to play at Mar Vista Park is the turf and the yummy snacks the ice cream truck brings. <br />
<br />
On the other hand, the Palms Middle School Team has been practicing long and hard for their upcoming Futsal Tournament. For the past 3 years they have been invited to play both, the Futsal and 11v11 Tournament. The ladies have been able to advance to the final rounds, unfortunately they have only been able to get 2nd and 3rd and this year they are eager to get that first place win. The boys on the other hand haven't been so fortunate coming in 5th 2 years ago and unable to advance to 2nd round the year prior. This year they're hoping for better results especially having them work so hard. <br />

Our 2016 Fall Season has already begun and is now 2-3 weeks in. We've had some bumps along the way, those including not being able to use our usual field, Marvista Park. We made some minor changes and are having games hosted at the schools. So far everything has been a success. Don't forget if you ever want to help out, volunteer, or coach just hit us up!

Hello all,<br />
<br />
My name is Zuyevith Ariza and I will be joining the America Scores LA office as a CAA coach. CAA stands for Coach Across America and it is a program that works to coach and mentor kids in low income communities. I have been apart of the LA Scores community for over 5 years and for the past 3, I have coached the Palms Middle School. I am looking forward to new experiences and what's to come in the new school year. Being out on the field with the kids is very different then being in the office. I hope to be able to cope to being at a desk for more than 20 minutes. Definitely looking forward to starting something new!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13362028825303141674noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161563902546819854.post-89128604081480596252016-02-10T12:16:00.000-08:002016-02-10T12:16:11.811-08:00America Scores LA has just completed our very first Junior Scores Camp. The week was designed to introduce younger children to Scores culture by through soccer and poetry. Each program day ran for 90 minutes with the students spending 45 minutes outside learning a variety of fundamental soccer skills like the proper technique for throwing in a ball. The kids spend the next 45 minutes in the classroom where they become familiar with aspects of storytelling like how to recognize in which setting a book character lives. With the help of a few of our outstanding coaches and phenomenal volunteers, the little ones finished the week proud of all they had learned and the parents asking when we could do this camp again. We hope we can do it again very very soon.<br />

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. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So needless to say, THANK YOU AYSO REGION 20!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
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!</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Just a small review of last week;</div>
<div>
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.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope everybody had a great weekend!</div>

These past two weekends our middle school coaches Zuyevith Ariza and Nahoul Gonzalez took charge of the Boys and Girls Palms Middle School Futsal soccer team. Nahoul lead the boys and Zuyevith lead the girls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10/17/2015</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ranking Games</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Palms Boys played first at 9am while the girls played later in the day at 12pm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The boys won their first two games with a safe margin but then fell in their last game of 3 to a score of 6-1. They did not end the day undefeated but did finish in 2nd place in their group putting them in a great seeding position.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Palms Girls had a pretty uneventful start; unfortunately their teams didn't show and they had to play Pio Pico twice to make up for the missed teams. They went on to win both games pretty comfortably. These results would then place Palms Girls in first place in their division putting them as the 1st seeded team in the Western Conference.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10/24/14</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Elimination round.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just as the ranking games the boys started off the day playing their first game at 9:30am. They played against a fierce opponent going down in the first half 4-0. Its nothing the Palms boys couldn't handle. The second half they adjusted very well but weren't able to put the ball in the back of the net. The boys lost in quarter-finals 4-0.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls, on the other hand, performed amazingly! As a result of being first place they automatically advanced to Semi-finals and met against Pio Pico again. The girls would go on to win again securing a place in the 2015 West Region Futsal Invitational Tournament Finals. The girls played stupendous! they were down 1-0 in the first 5 minutes but would recover under their coach's collected effort. Coach Zuyevith gave them the pep talk they needed and elaborated on how they would have to play the following 30 minutes. The next 30 minutes were played al if they were straight from the training ground. They were sucked in to tackles and took more shots than they do at practice. Once the final whistle blew the Palms girls would proceed to lift the West Region Championship trophy after winning 2-1.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Girls and Coach Zuyevith will play again this weekend </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
October 31st at RFK Ambassador at 9am </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
representing the West Region in Semi-finals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good Luck Girls!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Below are a couple of pictures from their games.</div>

Just as the lunar eclipse began in our actual galaxy, the aptly-named LA soccer team bested Dallas 3-2 with goals from Dos Santos, Keane, and Gerrard. The opportunity to enjoy our time together was made possible by the Rising Stars Program. Most of these 12-14 year-olds have been participating in LA Scores since they were 7-8 year olds at the elementary schools. As our insightful Executive Director said, "Pretty sure you don't build an strong alumni program after school. You build it by hanging out with middle schoolers on a Sunday night at a stadium sharing some food." If these youngsters are any indication of the future of this program, then LA Scores has some great years coming.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">On June 3rd, some of </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the Alumni Coaching Team took a nice trip to Rancho Park Golf Course to play a game of FootGolf. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>FootGolf</b><span style="line-height: 22px;"> is a precision </span>sport<span style="line-height: 22px;"> where players kick a </span>football<span style="line-height: 22px;"> into a cup in as few shots as possible. </span><span style="line-height: 22px;">The game is played the same way as golf, except players use a football instead of a golf ball, and the ball is kicked rather than struck with a club,</span><span style="line-height: 22px;"> working towards a 21-inch "cup" in place of the usual golf hole.</span><span style="line-height: 22px;"> The player who plays the 9 or 18 holes with the fewest shots wins.</span><span style="line-height: 11px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 22px;">Footgolf as sport is played on golf courses. </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">It was an interesting experience to say the least. We had balls zipping through the grass and others soaring into the green. There were also the occasional ball in the bush, almost getting stuck in a tree, knocking one </span><span style="line-height: 22px;">another ball out of the way, and missing the hole 6 times before sinking it in. </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Nonetheless, we will be visiting the golf course again soon enough. </span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hello America Scores LA Family,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">My name is Gordon Bylsma, I am
currently 19 years old and I attend Syracuse University in New York. I recently
joined the America Scores LA team and cannot be more excited to start working
this summer! Having grown up in Los Angeles, soccer has always been a large part
of my life. Simply put, I love the game. I played on my varsity team in high
school, my colleges’ club soccer team last year, and I am currently a manager for our Division-1, ACC varsity squad. Aside from my passion for soccer,
I have always looked for ways to get involved and improve my local community. For the past four years I have been heavily involved in another local program called Camp Harmony, which recommended that I check out this great organization named America Scores LA. After researching America Scores LA and its mission, I knew this was the perfect place to blend my
passions together. I am looking forward to a great summer and getting a chance to meet all of you!</span></div>

I awoke this morning with a smile on my face, which, thankfully, is not a rare occasion. What made this smile special was my knowing exactly what I was smiling about. Last night, listening to many of our student athletes recite original poems on stage at Braddock Drive Elementary School provided me not only with smiles, but with all those things behind the smile: joy, love, and laughter. For the past few weeks, the students have been working on creative pieces focused on the theme: The Music in Me. This led to one student sharing just how Hype rap makes him, another claiming herself to be a goddess of music, and one outstanding performance that ended with an A Capella version of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" which received uproarious applause. There is one student from Palms Elementary School, Prince, whose poem represents the best of this program:<br />
<br />
The Music in Me<br />
<br />
I am the star that music makes me<br />
I wonder what its like to see music like me<br />
I see the ears in my head, spinning the swarms of ideas<br />
I see like no other being, so I am the Alpha<br />
I want more to see in what I can read, read in me<br />
I am the Alpha of music everywhere, and no one can say otherwise<br />

I ,for one, love being a part of this program. I love being able to contribute to a cause I know to be worthy. I love debating ideas with the staff, exploring with new techniques with the coaches, and learning from the kids. In spite of the harshness found in the world, I get a daily reminder that the way to joy is paved with smiles. We have great people working with us, coaches who understand what it is to be good people. We do good work here. We build lasting relationships. We care. <br />

<br />
Hi all of you!<br />
<br />
I am Esmee, 17 years old and I am from the Netherlands. I am very excited to be here! My school offered me the chance to go on an internship for four weeks. The education that I get is a bilingual education, which means I get classes in both English and Dutch. Also, we went on a trip in every school year. Our first year it was London, the second year we did an exchange with Germany , third year we went to Czech Republic, and last year we went to Oxford and Cambridge. But this is the thing I have been looking forward to since I started at this school when I was 12 years old: a trip to an English speaking country all by myself.<br />
<br />
I love playing soccer and this is how I found LA Scores. So that is where I am now, at the office of LA Scores, writing a post for the blog. Last Thursday was my very first day at the office, and David and I talked things through. We kind of decided that I would take care of the communication side of the organisation, like Facebook, Twitter and this blog. On Thursday afternoon I got to meet a few of the children and they were adorable. On Friday I worked on the new Facebook page (you can now actually like it!) and after lunch we went to Mar Vista park to set up Game Day. Around 3 all the kids started to arrive and warm up for their game. I was a ref at one of the girls matches. I was very warm at the turf field, but we had a lot of fun!<br />
<br />
I really look forward to seeing all the children in the afternoons, because I really enjoyed that last week! Also, I really want to help out at the office because I would like to find out how everything works at a non-profit organisation. <br />

<br /><br /> Since it’s beginning in 2006, The ASCAP Songwriter Residency @ America SCORES has been a national program that dedicates itself to engaging renowned ASCAP artists with local youth. Artists annually work together with America SCORES student throughout a 3-day workshop to compose and record their very own song. Before the students are taken to a professional studio for a recording session, every writer spends 2 afternoons with his group of kids practicing and co-writing the song. <br /><br /><br /> This year we are happy that our group of Braddock 5th graders were able to get inside the studio with Gabriel Mann, a critically acclaimed ASCAP artist who is also a member for Los Angeles based indie rock band The Rescues. Our song’s theme focused on love and how it applies to those in our immediate family. It is exciting for us to be able to get in touch with our students creative minds and see their expression in music. Throughout the workshops kids see how artists assure themselves of also being great role models and teachers who enjoy inspiring those around them. This is fundamental to a student’s experience, especially considering how there exists a lack of after school programs targeting kids who seek musical education and talent development opportunities. We’d like to thank ASCAP for another successful year in supporting our efforts to enrich the lives of our local youth.</div>

<br /><br /><b>What is your favorite show to watch?</b><br />My favorite show to watch is How I Met Your Mother. My favorite character is Barney Stinson. He is very funny and he is mysterious as well because he doesn’t tell anyone the things he does. The group of friends they have reminds me of some of my closest friends I have found here in LA Scores.<br /><br /><br /><b>What is your favorite part of America SCORES (Indoor, Game Day, Coaching??)</b><br />My favorite part would have to be game day. It reminds me of the times when I was a kid I would go to game days and put it all out on the field for my team. It is an amazing experience to see new talent develop in the program and its always a pleasure to see the kids play their best. It doesn’t get any better than having fun with the team you are coaching for the day.<br /><br /><br /><b>If you could play soccer anywhere where would it be?</b><br />I would want to play in Spain. They are one of the most competitive soccer players in the word and I want to be part of that. It would be amazing to also become part of the Real Madrid team. I want to follow my childhood idol’s footsteps which was Roberto Carlos.<br /><br /><br /><b>What is your perfect pizza?</b><br />My perfect pizza consist of a deep dish style with pineapples, bacon, ham, chicken, peperoni, mushrooms and bell peppers. You can never go wrong with too many toppings.<br /><br /><br /><b>If you could be any age for one year what age?</b><br />I would want to be 11 years old again. I miss elementary school where all you had to worry about was doing your homework and then watch cartoons. I miss waking up in the morning going to Charnock and getting ready to eat coffee cake. I miss Ms. Merry telling all the kids to stop running, but the one thing I miss most is going to game day on Fridays. I miss playing with the Green Pimpin’ Jokers (our team name).<br /><br /><br /><b>What is your greatest fear?</b><br />One of my greatest fears are cockroaches. I don’t like the really big ones that fly. One time I was sitting at home watching TV and one magically flew through the window. I was so scared I had my mom kill because I did not want to go near it. If someone gave me a million dollars to hold one in my hand, I would not do it.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13362028825303141674noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161563902546819854.post-13740791198184659222015-01-07T15:33:00.000-08:002015-01-07T15:33:21.039-08:00Thank You, Mattel!The partnerships we have with a multitude of companies helps students make their experience in America Scores LA more enjoyable. At the conclusion of our season Mattel made it their goal to give students at Scores a memorable holiday season by providing them with the choice of a brand new Hot Wheels set or a gorgeous Barbie Doll. Our students received the gifts with wholehearted excitement and with a great appreciation. Some kids were inspired to share their thoughts with their giver and wrote letters to express their gratitude. Below are some of the letters we are sending to Mattel along with other gifts. Click on the link below the pictures to read the full letters kids wrote (albeit with slight edits).<br />

Letters to Ourselves</h2>
<div>
This year at Braddock Elementary we had the boys write themselves a letter as part of our final exercise for poetry. There were no specific guidelines and while some students looked back on their time with scores, others took the opportunity to set goals for themselves. In particular Bryant & Edgar's letters demonstrates how effective writing is in engaging students to participate in a conversation with themselves. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Through writing Bryant (3rd grader) is able to overlook his own thoughts and asses how well it reflects his point of view and his ideals. Though he is aware of the fact that school is a great place to have fun and make friends, he doesn't disregard that it is also a place where growth and success can be experienced.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Looking closer at Edgar's letter (5th grader) we see that students are aware of their audience. Edgar lets us know that he had a great time at LA Scores and that it can be attributed to his new teammates. He also goes on to state when he will leave and how that will affect him leaving us conscious of how LA Scores benefitted his being.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our students make the experience for us as coaches comforting. Their efforts in the classroom and on the field will go beyond a letter grade in school and a healthy body; it will be a special memory.</div>

Catching a goal on camera at Game Day is a hard thing to do. Luckily, we can say that this isn't the case for Danny. We hope to see him next year.! </div>
