2/22/2010  (from Coach John Karta).  The T.O. Fire All Star team, U10B, had a very successful run at the Riverside Locomotion tournament Feb. 13-15.  After winning our pool, we were the 3rd seed and had to play a tough Beverly Hills team (#2 seed).  With only a few minutes left in that game, down 3-1, the boys scored two quick goals to send the game into overtime.  In the second overtime period, we scored one more to win the game.  In the championship match, we faced the same Torrance team from our pool that we tied in the first game against them.  A tough battle from start to finish, the boys came up short losing 3-2 in an epic battle, finishing 2nd overall.  The heart these kids displayed all weekend was amazing and I couldn’t be prouder of the way they played and represented Region 9 and the city Thousand Oaks.  Congrats TO Fire!!!

2/16/2010  (from Coach Karun Kapur).  The T.O. Thunder, U12G, coached by Karun Kapur, Jade Molina, and Carlos De Los Rios finished 3rd in this weekend's Locomotion Tournament in Riverside.  The girls played a great weekend of soccer outscoring the opponents 31 - 5 over a total of 6 games !  We narrowly lost to a Hacienda Heights team 1 - 2 in the last 5 minutes in the semi-finals medal round and then beat a strong Palisades team 4 - 1 to claim the 3rd place finish.

2/08/2010  (from Coach John Benedict) We are the Champions!  We are the Champions!  Yay! Yay! Yay!

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself J.  T.O. Most Wanted (GU14 A Team) played 3 weekends of incredible soccer to be crowned the GU14 Area 10E Champions!  We were undefeated in the tournament, with a record of 8 wins, 0 losses, and 3 ties.  We also had 5 shut out victories.  I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of this team and their character.  This teams character defines the way they play the beautiful game of soccer.  We strived to prepare ourselves to the best of our abilities.  Every training session, every game, every moment out on the pitch is just another opportunity for the team to define themselves through desire, dedication, determination and self-discipline.  So on to Bakersfield in March and the Section 10 All-Star Playoffs to proudly represent Region 9 and Area 10E.  The team’s next stop…Riverside Locomotion

12/7/2009 (from Coach John Benedict) – Gobble Gobble Gobble…..What am I thankful for…..more soccer of course!

The U14G A Team officially opened their season by playing in Region 42’s Newbury Park Panther Shootout.  With our bellies still full from Thanksgiving turkey we made our way to the Peppertree Fields.  I want to thank everyone that came out over the Thanksgiving Holidays to support the team!  Considering the short preparation time we had a very successful outing.  On Saturday morning we played Pacific Palisades and won 4-1. Saturday afternoon was Agoura and we won 5-1.  Sunday morning we faced the host team, Newbury Park and won 3-0.  On to the Championship against Malibu!  After regulation and two overtimes it was still 0-0.  So on to PKs we went.  Malibu ended up bettering us by one PK and won the Championship.  But what a great showing by our girls!  I remember looking over at our side line during the first overtime against Malibu and there seemed to be at least 100 people watching the game. 

I am so very proud of our girls and their determination, dedication, and abilities.  And it’s just the beginning!
