San Jose Strikkers: Welcome
Farewell from the San Jose Strikkers 18u Coaching Staff
As most of you know, the 2008 summer season marked an end to the San Jose Strikkers 18u Travel team.
Frank King and Richard Fangonilo moved over to the San Jose Lady Sharks organization where they will be coaching the 18u team along with a former San Jose Strikkers alumni Bria DeLorenzo. Richard Fangonilo II is moving to Texas in January and he will be attending Texas A & M and majoring in Kinesiology and Victor Aguilar III is uncertain about his coaching future.
There have been many exciting and memorable events that we have been a part of. Who could forget the:
1) Triple play we made at the Colorado tournament
2) Way we fought back at the 2007 Western Nationals, not losing a game until the Quarterfinals, and eventually taking second and earning a berth to the 2008 Nationals! That day was special because out of all the years we have coached, we finally made it to the "Big Show"!
3) 2008 Nationals - We did not play as well as we could have but it did not matter; we accomplished something thousands of other teams could not and that was qualifying and earning the right to be there.
Over the year's, we have made many friends and we would like to thank you for being part of the San Jose Strikkers family!!! We have all been part of something special and we should be proud of ourselves!! Next year we will start a new chapter in our coaching careers but there will always be a special place in our hearts for the Strikkers players and parents.
This website will be disappearing shortly but before it expires we would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful and joyous holiday.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
San Jose Strikkers Coaching Staff
Frank, Richard, Richard II , and Victor
