97/98 Girls Fury The Fury girls are ranked as the #1 team in their age group in Pennsylvania by Soccer in College. Our 97/98 girls recently won the Elite Division of the prestigious Jefferson Cup tournament in Richmond, Virginia. The Jefferson Cup is a premier elite tournament that is ranked as the fifth best tournament for girls in the United States. The Fury girls were also finalists at the Mid-American Soccer Classic tournament in Cincinnati, Ohio. These girls are the Western Pennsylvania Futsal State Cup Champions. In the fall 2007, they swept the PPA league 6-0, beating the Strikers, Stars United, Century United, Northern Crew, Erie Admirals, and Northern Steel and outscoring their opponents 40-3. They played up a year in the spring PPA league and lost only one game against the older girls. The Fury girls are coached by Dennis Casarcia and Mike Proviano.

97/98/99 Girls Real Madrid Real Madrid is a new team this spring that was formed over the winter indoor season. They competed successfully in both sessions of the PISA indoor league. Some of these girls are playing up, but despite the age differences, these girls are tenacious and very hard workers. It is clear already that this group of girls has a bright future in soccer. They will play in the PPA league in the spring of 2008. They are coached by Rafal Kolankowski.

98/99 Boys Predators
Coach Jeremy Gillespie’s boys are the Memorial Day Shootout Champions, beating high level teams such as the Cleveland Internationals. They play up in the u10 PPA outdoor league with great success. They also played in u10 division one of the indoor league at PISA and finished first in the second session. Last spring, the Predators attended the Memorial Day Shootout in Erie, Pa, a Gold level ranked tournament, and made it to the semi-finals before losing to a highly skilled Internationals team. This achievement is remarkable because they were a u8 team playing in a u10 bracket. There are clearly many good things ahead for this group of boys.
