Matrix Jamul Girls Win CV Rangers Memorial Day Tournament
The 2009 Matrix Jamul Girls Under 15 soccer team got off to a fantastic start winning the Championship game in their bracket at the Chula Vista Rangers Memorial Day Tournament. The team made it to the final game when another team could not attend, but the technicality meant nothing as the players battled and beat a strong opponent that had taken a game from the Matrix girls earlier in the weekend. With only 11 available players - no substitutes – the girls gave everything they had to pull off an exciting 2-1 victory and start their second season in style. The venue - the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista – made the result that much more rewarding. To play and win on the same fields as our nation's premier soccer athletes was something the girls won't soon forget. "This is the kind of game that you would like to end your season on, but to have this accomplishment early really gives the girls something to build on," said Coach Loren Kramer. "It's going to be a great season." Forward Katherine Day scored the first goal when she turned on a defender in the penalty area and powered a shot into the back of the net. The second goal came late in the game when Jordan Norberg headed in a beautiful Emily Cervantes corner kick. Sunday, February 22
2009 Season Highlights
The 2009 Matrix Jamul season is already shaping up to be even better than last year's. Specialized Training We have already begun to put together this year's training specialized training sessions. Specialized training sessions involve bringing in expert trainers in the soccer and sports industry to work the teams and provide the players with tools and activities that they can use throughout the season to improve their game and stay healthy. Alex Laws, Core Fitness Trainer from iCoreSports.com, will be working with the players to help them develop proper stretching and strengthening techniques to improve core fitness and minimize injury. Paul Wright of Speed to Burn, former SD Socker, will conduct a half-day training speed and agility training session. Who says you can't coach speed! We're also looking at bringing Jen Lawlor Nielsen, former Womens National Team player for technique training sessions. Her trademark was her foot skills and ball control. Players need every opportunity to develop confidence with the ball to enjoy and prosper in the beautiful game. Speaking of skill with the ball... have you heard of Futsal? Check out our Futsal video page. This game of soccer played on a hard surface (like a basketball court) teaches skills with the ball like no other activity. In 2009 Futsal will be a regular of the Matrix Jamul summer training program. Our version of "street soccer" will be player-driven. The activity is a tough otest of fitness and will develop player speed, movement and passing skills like no other activity. Former professional soccer player and trainer Diego Terry – a player favorite – played with the Argentine National Futsol team. He is developing a program to introduce our players to the game. Sessions start in May. We're a small club, but we've got big plans!
