Coaching Philosophy
Our coaching goal is to provide individualized training and teach ball management to give the player confidence and composure over the ball. Soccer is a game of fundamentals. Whether the athlete is a field player or goalkeeper all players need to be able to shoot with confidence, dribble around opponents, perform short passes with accuracy, and possess ball control. The player having confidence and composure over the ball will maximize their enjoyment of the game.

Words to Live by
Perfection - Being Perfect means you've done ALL you can and you have been the best teammate you can be. You can't control the hand life deals you, and you can't always control the outcome of events, but you can control your effort. When you've given your ALL on the field, then win or lose, you can look each other (teammates and everyone else) in the eye and be Proud! - Coach Gaynes 1988 Odessa, Texas Premian High, Football Head Coach.

Avalanche Win 3rd State Cup Championship

The MVLA Avalanche team won their third CYSA State Cup Championship yesterday with a 2-0 victory over the DeAnza Force 93 team in the U18 Girls division. The Avalanche Team made five appearances at the State Cup Finals since 2005, and won three State Cup titles and finished twice as Finalists. This was the third time both Avalanche and DeAnza competed against each other at the State Cup finals; MVLA won twice and Force won once on a PK back in 2009.

In another battle royale between the two elite NorCal teams, the Avalanche girls had their winds to their backs in the first half of the game in Elk Grove near Sacramento. A crossing ball served by Emily Mosbacher from the right side of the field, and was one-touch flicked into the goal by a sprinting Audrey Gibson to break the deadlock and put MVLA on the score board.  Near the end of the first half, the Avalanche team got a second goal off a corner kick that was first headed by Kate Bettinger into a very crowded goal box, where Micheala Matulich headed the ball into the net while she was falling on the ground from a mad scramble of bodies. The Avalanche Team went into half-time with a 2-0 lead, and prepared for the Force Team to come-out strong with the wind in the DeAnza favor.  But the MVLA girls defended with stength and used their technical skills to control the ball posession and game to win their third state championship title.

The team qualifies to compete at the 2011 Region IV Far West Regional Tournament held in Boise, Idaho from June 18th-26th. The MVLA Avalanche Team competed at the Far West Regionals twice before; finished as QuarterFinalists in 2007 in Las Vegas, and as SemiFinalists in 2008 in Hawaii.
