October 2009 Indoor Season

Welcome to all returning and new players to the 1994 Girls Southwest United team. We've had a great start to our season with a tournament in Vancouver, BC over the Thanksgiving weekend. Playing up 2 years, the squad earned the GOLD medal at the North Shore Girls tournament. Four games and four victories...3 shut outs with only 1 goal scored over the weekend. The team played very well. Our defensive game remains the strength of our play. Our attacking game is becoming versatile and effective. We look forward to our next challenge at the San Diego Surf College Cup at the end of November.
   
June 2009 SWU 1994 Girls Win at Calgary College Search Showcase
The 1994 SWU girls squad competed in the first annual Calgary College Search Showcase tournament on June 27-28. This was the first showcase tournament hosted in Alberta for girls teams in the 1992-1994 age category. Numerous Canadian and US universities/colleges were in attendance to observe the games. The girls played one team from Edmonton and two teams from Calgary and won each game 2-0. These three games were played within 24 hours, so the team was able to deal with the heat as well as fatigue. This was a terrific accomplishment for the team. The squad is just finishing their regular season play in the U18 Tier 2 division and will be representing EIYSA at Provincials in August.

Spring 2008  

Coaches Corner
The 1994 outdoor team travelled to Victoria BC for a 9-day training camp. A total of ten -
2-hour training sessions were completed along with 4 exhibition games against U14 and U15 teams from the city of Victoria. The weather was challenging at times and included rain, hail and snow, sometimes in the same session! Living altogether under the roof of one house was also quite the experience! The team's performance improved across the camp and the players are keen to get the outdoor season underway!

Other News
After coaching the team for the past 11 seasons, John has passed the torch to Vicki and Keith who will continue to provide quality coaching and pursue excellence for the players and the team.

Oct, 2007 North Shore Tournment, Vancouver BC -A Good Weekend, Despite Rainy Weather 

The North Shore Tournament was a great experience for the team. The girls had to deal with adverse weather and injuries. Saturday's first game resulted in a 1-1 tie off of a great effort by Kalina and Kirsten. The girls won the second game 4-0 with goals from Savanna, Kirsten and two from Stenor including a header. On Sunday afternoon they played against the number one team in the Metro League and tied them 1-1. They were a very technical hard playing team. Our goal came off of a header by Meredith.

The game fields were artificial turf and excellent to play on although the ball was difficult to control in the wet conditions and the girls had to adjust to the pace of the pass. By the end of the first game, the team had adjusted very well. A great team effort!
