A big SCU Congratulations to
SCU U17 Premier Team, the Blazers,
for reaching the Finals of the Super Division of the
San Diego Surf College Cup 2009
over Thanksgiving weekend.  The team eliminated the Arsenal, Newsport FC Green, Eagles Premier, and Real So Cal White in order to advance.  They battled So.Cal Blues for the championship, only to lose in overtime on a golden goal.
Nice work girls!  Way to represent!

**** Parking at Rancho Pico****  

Rancho Pico Junior High School administrators have asked us to only park in designated parking spaces.  If no spots are available in the Rancho Pico parking lot we must park across the street in the High School parking lot.  We are NOT allowed to park on the blacktop (this includes dropping off)  and doing so could put our club in jeopardy of losing the ability to use the school fields.

Effective 11/30/09 

Olders Skills Clinic

Has been moved to Friday nights, 5:30-6:30 pm
through the high school season.
