The CCS U-10 white, U-10 blue, and U-11 teams had a very successful weekend at the Eastern Shore Premier Cup, in Daphne AL, February 23 & 24, 2013. After being rain delayed three times, players took the fields 5 hours later than expected and played hard through the cold, rain, wind, and mud. At the end of 4 games, the U-10 Whites took champion in U10 First Division, u-10 Blues took champion in U10 Second Division, and the U-11s took champion in U11 First Division. All three teams had very competitive games, and walked away undefeated.

The bonus for the weekend was that Eastern Shore had begun a new program this year. Any club or league that had brought 4+ teams would be eligible to compete for the Premier League Cup; which meant that whichever club at the end of the tournament had the most points based on W/T/L, would be named the Champion Club of the tournament. However, Friday night, they changed the rules to make it more competitive, they lowered the club team minimum to 3, making the Capital City Streaks eligible.

When their 12 games were finished, all of the boys headed over to get their medals, and it was announced that even though there were still several games going on, CCS was so far ahead in the points count that nobody could catch them, and the Capital City Streaks Club was named the Premier Club for 2013.

Good job boys! Way to represent the Club!

The U17 Girls coached by Manny Sanchez had a tremendous fall season finishing 3rd in the Region III Premier League and advancing to the AYSA State Cup Division 1 finals. They fell short in the finals, but still have an opportunity to advance to US Youth Soccer Region III Regionals if the two teams that finished in front of them in the R3PL win their respective State Cups in MS amd LA.  Kudos to the entire team for a tremendous season and representing the Capital City Streaks and Montgomery YMCA at the highest level.
