Welcome to the U-15 Metro Delta Coastal Sting team website for the 2013/14 season. The Delta Coastal team, formerly known as the SurDel Sting, is a partnership between the SurDel, Tsawwassen, Semiahmoo and Ladner soccer clubs. The Sting team will be hitting the training pitch in early June in preparation for their trip to Minneapolis, Minnesota for their participation in the USA Cup. Once they return they will be preparing for the upcoming regular season and tournaments by working out with core conditioning coach Michelle Roots as well as their regular training sessions. The players have worked hard to get to this point and look to continue that hard work as they develop their skills against some tough competition. They are a great bunch of dedicated players and we are sure they will have a great learning experience and a lot of fun along the way. Go Sting!!!

The week of April 7th saw the U-15 Delta Coastal evaluations take place for selections for the 2013/14 season. The evaluations sessions were spread out over three days and over 55 young ladies were out to try and secure a spot on the Sting's roster. While there was an abundance of soccer talent displayed on the field the Sting coaches are very happy to announce two new additions to the team. They are Danya from Langley FC and Sydney from Tsawwassen Soccer Club. These players worked very hard during the sessions and will add a lot of depth to the team and we are proud to have two new players and their families call the Sting their home.

On a sad note we will be sorry to see both Skye and Hailey leave as they are both pursuing their volleyball and softball passions for next season. Both of these players and their families have been a huge part of our team and will be sorely missed. That said Skye will still be training with the team for the next few months as they prepare for their trip to the USA Cup in Minnesota as she will be part of that experience.

Go Sting!!

The Delta Coastal Sting want to welcome back Michelle Roots, BA Kin, CSCS, to the coaching staff. Michelle will be our Strength, Agility and Quickness (SAQ) coach for the upcoming season. Michelle's biography is on her company website, Core Conditioning and can be viewed thru the Links tab.

Michelle will be putting the team thru her conditioning program starting in early June in preparation for the Sting's trip to Minneapolis for the USA Cup. When the team returns she will be getting them prepared for the regular season starting in August and running weekly until Thanksgiving. 

Welcome back Michelle to the Sting family.

With the Sting starting to get ready for their trip to the USA Cup we always get the question what is this tournament all about?

It is an amazing life experience as the players will be at the largest soccer facility in the world, meet players from over twenty countries, be around 12,000 other soccer players at one venue, have a ton of fun and see some very competitive soccer. For those parents, family and fans that cant get down there to cheer on the Sting, Kick TV posts a daily video blog to the USA Cup website, yes the tournament is so big it even has its own television show. If you go to the Links tab on the left you can see some of the action and you may even see the Sting make an appearance. Go Sting!!!
