Congratulations to Team United! CWSC United will be representing Calgary in the Tier II U16 Boys tournament in Sherwood Park this weekend (August 12 – 14). The boys have worked hard all season overcoming the challenges set before them and learning to work together as a great team. Coaches and parents are proud of the boys’ efforts and determination to succeed. CWSC United will work together to the best of their abilities to achieve another successful outcome. GO UNITED GO!!!

CWSC Santos going to Provincials! The CWSC Boys U14 Santos soccer team will be one of the teams representing Calgary at the Tier 1 Boys tournament in Lethbridge August 18 – 21. It has been a very rewarding season as the boys worked extremely hard to achieve one of their key goals of making it to Provincials. The coaching team, and all the parents are extremely proud of the boys for their sportsmanship, teamwork and the character they showed during very intense competition throughout the season. With the unfortunate departure of 2 key players, and several injuries, the team has picked up several players from other CWSC teams for the Provincial Tournament. While overcoming this unexpected hurdle, Santos is now firmly focused on performing up to our highest potential, with our eye toward Nationals. Go SANTOS GO!!!

Congratulations Team Sparta Mother Nature brings many challenges to our outdoor soccer program. This year was no exception. Numerous rain-outs brought about the rescheduling of several games, which left Team Sparta playing 5 games, in 5 nights, as they fought to represent Calgary West at the 2011 GU 14 Tier III Provincials. With a dwindling roster, each game became more and more challenging. Special thanks goes out to several U12 girls from Team Vasco who's commitment to soccer assisted us in achieving our goal and becoming CMSA 1 at provincials in Beaumont, Alberta from August 5 - 7. The coaches and team management would like to thank all of the girls for their hard work and dedication. GO SPARTA GO!!!!

Joshua We wish CWSC Newcastle the best of Luck at Provincials in Red Deer! GO NEWCASTLE GO !!

“Work hard, have fun!” This is the mantra of CWSC Nacional, and one that has served them well for the exciting 2011 outdoor soccer season. Nacional was forged from thirteen enthusiastic 10 to 12 year olds boys, two of whom were new to the competitive soccer arena, but all of whom play soccer at every opportunity-- at school recess, in basements, and even on their desktops. Of course, players alone don’t “make” the team. Our three coaches worked tirelessly with the players to improve their skills and confidence on the field. We were fortunate enough to have a professional trainer (who works regularly with elite athletes, including the Calgary Flames) work on the boys’ fitness levels at most practice sessions. Lastly, Nacional parents were a dedicated and generous group, car-pooling to games and practices, and cheering their throats raw at games. Yes, you can get calluses from clapping too hard! Our season was not smooth sailing. As all Calgarians know, spring weather can be an unpredictable third competitor in any outdoor sporting event. Gale-force winds, bone-chilling rains, and golf-ball-sized hail were nasty obstacles that competed only with ravenous mosquitoes to challenge our boys. Nacional began as a tier III/IV team and fought hard to finish the seeding round at the middle of the pack. The July play-offs saw the boys lose two of their skilled players to summer travels. Despite this loss, the boys quickly recovered and transformed into a united force on the fields, placing top in the tier IV A division. The day after play-offs ended, Nacional was launched into the Provincial Cross-over game against the MSB Strikers. Despite having played soccer three consecutive evenings beforehand, our boys worked hard that night and it was epic. Regulation time yielded a no-score game, so our boys proceeded to the nail-biting, tear-jerking finale of a penalty shoot-out, resulting in a 2 to 1 win, and earning them one of 5 spots in their category in the Alberta Soccer Association’s Provincials Cities competition. Provincials (tier IV, Cities) were held in Airdrie this year, from July 15 to 17. Nacional began strong, with a 6 to 0 win over Chestermere United FC on Friday evening. We continued to hold great formation and practice the tactical skills learned throughout the playoffs and team support training during the second game on Saturday morning, resulting in a 5 to 2 win over Edmonton’s Crestwood team. Sunday was a tough go--the 9:00 am start time [and opposing team, Newton (out of Edmonton], proved a challenge, with a 5 to 2 loss for Nacional. Spirits were low, but a few hours away from the pitch, some lunch in their bellies, much-needed hydration, and pep talks from the coaches allowed the boys to finish the competition with their heads held high and smiles on their faces. Nacional didn’t win against the NCU Badgers (who, undefeated overall, took the gold medal), but took a 4 to 1 loss like the champions they are. As a parent (and team manager) watching the evolution of Nacional, I am truly gratified. These boys have developed fantastic group interaction and soccer-playing abilities, and enjoyed camaraderie off the fields during pool parties, and Dairy Queen or slushie treat outings. CWSC Nacional has shown us what unflagging team spirit can accomplish! *See more photos from the Provincials at: http://gallery.me.com/rmitch#100133

Tourism was a big part of the trip - Harry Potter World and Disney World were fun! Thank you BFUT for the wonderful intensive training. The girls will always pass the ball "TOES UP!

Congratulations to U14G Bafana Bafana Tier 3. Bafana Bafana lost only 4 games all season, including Tier 3 Provincials. Finishing second in their Group in Tier 3B, they beat the 1st place team, and went on as CMSA 1 in Lethbridge. They played a tough first game against the eventual Gold medal winners, Phoenix FC tieing the game in the last 5 minutes of the game. Unfortunately Bafana had to beat their next opponent, McLeod, by 12 goals to move on to the gold medal round. Bafana went on to beat Fury to capture 9th place. The results do not reflect the level of play Bafana displayed at the competition. Congratulations to all of the players for a well played tournament. Bafana had a great outdoor season.

Fury participated in the President's Tournament on the May long weekend and after going undefeated, they brought home the GOLD. Way to go Fury!!

The first game of the Calgary West Fury’s indoor season didn’t go so well. They lost by a wide margin. It was not a great beginning. So the coaches had to take a close look at this team and figure if we were capable of competing at a Tier A level. The answer? The coached and the girls believed they could do it and would not stop practicing until they became competitive. The coaches worked on different positions and really worked on skill development. Each new game, we could see the girls using what they learned in academy and practice time; putting it to very effective use on the field. The transformation was wonderful to watch. Midway through the season, the girls went up against the number one team; yes, the same team that had blown us out in the first game of the season. This was a different Fury team now. They walked away with a 1-1 tie. The hard work had paid off. Fighting for first place with this team all year long, the Fury had to face them again later in the year. The Fury dominated in every aspect of the game and walked away with a huge and decisive victory. We were in first place!. As the play- offs began, we were given the number one seed and made it all the way to the gold medal game. This was the very first time the Calgary West Soccer Club had a U10 team in Tier A go this far. In the gold medal game, the girls played hard in a back and forth, highly entertaining game. We were winning 3-2 with about 5 minutes left. However, the other team was awarded a penalty kick close in and scored to tie the game. The game went into a shoot out and, unfortunately, the Fury lost the Gold Medal on penalty kicks. . But there was no sadness or hanging of our heads. This was a season to be proud of. It showed that Calgary West could produce and coach players that can play and compete at these levels. The Fury girls made us all so proud with their heart, determination and never-say-die attitude. The coaches were beaming with pride. Way to go Fury girls! You did all of us proud.

It was an action packed weekend for family and friends watching the U16 girls’ take the GOLD at CMSA Family Day Tournament 2010. The tournament started on Saturday at 4pm with the team facing Okotoks Mirage. It was an exciting game and a fantastic start to the weekend with Bayern taking their first game with a solid 3 to 1 win. There were two games on Sunday, the first starting at 10am. For the “early” hour it showed to be a fast paced and intense game against Blizzard Rovers ending in a 3-3 tie. The second game was at 4pm against Signal Hill Arsenal. This was an amazing game to watch and really demonstrated the Team’s talent and stamina with a sound 6 to 2 win. Going into the final game on Monday at 1pm, Bayern went in as the underdogs facing the currently top ranked Div III/IV team from Fort Saskatchewan. The Team pumped up the intensity of play with the offense pounding in three goals and the defense and goalie finishing the game in a spectacular show of skill and determination taking the team to a 3 to 1 win for the GOLD! We would like to thank all who came out to support and cheer on our Girls. Congratulations Bayern - we are very proud of you!! To view more photos, click on the main photo above.

CONGRATULATIONS, Bayern!!! The GU16 Bayern Team won SILVER at the Edmonton Inter-Cities on Sept 11-13, 2009. Saturday morning, the girls played an Edmonton team and WON. It was a GREAT game! Saturday afternoon, Bayern played against Calgary’s 1st place, Signal Hill Arsenal. This was an EXCITING, intense game which the girls won with GREAT effort, skill, and determination!

U10 CWSC Ajax team won Gold yesterday at the Calgary City Finals. They won three straight games and didn’t have any goals scored against them at all. The parents and coaches are all very proud of them, and are now looking forward to another great season!

Wow! What a season. Our first game of the season was a nail biter that our girls won 1-0. After that, the games became more challenging. What impressed us about this group of girls was that they never became discouraged and they kept fighting, kept practicing and kept improving. By mid season, we could all feel things starting to turn around. Our games were all very close and we were now starting to carve out some wins. In our first game of the playoffs, the girls had to face the first place Blizzard Heat. The Blizzard’s had prevailed over the Fury all season, yet the girls battled and were only down by one goal until very late in the game. A few days later we faced the Cochrane Wolves: a team that we couldn’t beat all season. We were losing 1-0 with 5 minutes left and the girls shifted into another gear and took it to the Wolves. With 10 seconds left, the Fury tied it up on a beautiful indirect penalty kick. We ended up winning the game on a shootout as our goalie did not allow even one goal. We were now playing for the bronze medal! Facing NW United, the final game was a nail biter, but our girls simply willed themselves to win. They played with more heart and determination than they ever had and won the game 1-0. This was the first year that the Calgary West Soccer Club had ever entered a Girls team in Tier “A”. And the result was a Bronze Medal! Congratulations and many thanks to the wonderful coaches, Head Coach Glenn and his Assistants Chris and Mike, who believed in this team and taught them the skills to improve and be successful. Thanks also to the parents, family and friends were always cheering and encouraging the girls. But most of all, congratulations to the U10 Fury girls, who will always be remembered as “the little team that could”.

What a great season! The U10 boys CWSC Arsenal team won their division with an excellent group of players and a very positive attitude. We had full support of the parents and great help from our managers and assistant coaches ( One of whom decided to run his first Marathon during this time and the other assistant coach decided to have a new baby enter his life )Never a dull moment. I just wanted to say thanks again to all involved including the unsung volunteers and staff behind CWSC. Hope to see as many of our players back again and let's win it one more time! Coach Bob

On Saturday June 20, the six Super U8 teams held their last two scheduled outdoor season games. To cap off the season, teams organized a mini-tournament around these last two games. A season ending final third game was added. The three final matches for the six teams were decided based on the outcomes of the first two games making each of the teams season finale games competitive and exciting. Fans were treated to some excellent soccer enjoying the games under a beautifully sunny sky. Team Chivas took the overall title as tournament champions but it must be noted that success at this level of soccer is measured in skill development, team play and the fun factor. All the teams and their players are champions. CWSC Head Coach, Milan Bartosz, observed the first matches played and then he gathered the players and their families to congratulate them on participating in the first-ever Super U8 competitive soccer season. The Super U8 league was a tremendous success and is a wonderful way to channel the competitive juices of these young athletes as many look forward to playing U10 Competitive in the next outdoor season. The balance of the players will be “veterans” of the league leading their Super U8 teams into yet another wonderful season next year. Thank you to Glen Snarr for organizing the tournament. Thank you to all of the coaches and team managers for pioneering the Super U8 League. See you next season! CWSC

Hello Calgary West parents and players. I hope all the players who participated in our 3v3 indoor tournament on the weekend enjoyed themselves regardless of their wins or losses. I particularly enjoyed watching many of our Comp players playing alongside our Premier players. The event went quite smoothly. We had three no-shows in total so rather than change the whole schedule the teams that only had two players played 2v2 against the other teams in their division. I wish to thank Teresa Hirata and all the volunteers for their help, Nigel Brattle and Lee Jackson for refereeing all the games and all the parents for their wonderful non-coaching support of their children.

Congratulations to Barcelona winning GOLD in Edmonton! The team went undefeated, winning 2-1, 7-2 and 5-1. Tons of fun, lots of hard work, determination, many goals, and great saves. Now it is on to the Inter Cities! Wish us luck!

CWSC's Sparta GU12 team were victorious on Saturday September 13, 2008 when they defeated Elbow Valley Magic for the gold medal in the Fall Cup Comp. B, Group C Division. The team was down 1-0 in the first half and were able to come back to tie it in the second, winning in a shoot-out. Coaches Meighen and Sarah are very proud of the progress that Sparta has made throughout the season and wish them the best of luck in the seasons to come. Congratulations girls!

Saturday September 13, 2008 turned out to be the perfect day and the perfect way to end CWSC Team Arsenal's outstanding outdoor season. In fact you could say it was a "Golden Day" for our BU10 team as Arsenal captured the gold medal in the Fall Cup (BU10 Group D Division). Parents and relatives were treated to an exciting 3 to 2 finish in a match against a very good Chinook Spurs team. As Coaches and family of the players we remain truly proud of their accomplishments this season and wish each player all the best going forward. Coach Bruce Arsenal U10B CWSC

Inter U12 Boys Premier Tier 3 wins GOLD!!!!! Story to follow......

CWSC BU10 Arsenal completed a fantastic spring outdoor season with only 1 loss in 15 games, including winning all 9 of its second round games to claim the Division Crown for Tier B Division 2. As was evident in their play all year, the boys never gave up in any game to ensure they always gave their best to come out on top. Great passing, determined defense, outstanding goalkeeping - the boys jelled from day 1 and got better every week. Now, while the players earned their well deserved Championship, much credit has to go to their very supportive parents and families. Parents, who battled the weather, the mosquitoes and the hectic year ending schedule to get their boys to and from the games and practices, provided refereeing when they were missing, managed the sidelines, built nets, organized coffee runs, etc., etc. Awesome support...every team should be so lucky to have had this great group of parents. And without the outstanding organization of our Team Manager, Glen we would have been a far more stressed out and grey haired group of Coaches and parents. Finally, when one experiences such a tremendous season you never want it to end, so we're coming together again in September for the Fall Cup. On behalf of us Coaches Bruce, Barry, and Peter we hope you have a great summer. We'll see you all in August for Fall Cup training and for the start of a successful indoor season.

CWSC GU10 Fury has wrapped up their 2008 outdoor season with a 3rd place finish in their division – Way to go girls! Despite the wonderful spring weather, bringing on practice and game cancellations, the girls got to know each other quickly and work together as a team and we are very proud of them not only as soccer players but also as wonderful young ladies. Their never ending enthusiasm, dedication and support of each other made them a pleasure to coach and tons of fun as well. We had a great time this season and are looking forward to a successful Indoor to come! Thanks Fury girls, it was a blast! Your Coach’s - Beth, Liz & Glenn.

CWSC U12 Milan enjoyed a very successful 2007 outdoor season. The boys gelled as a team quickly and played the season with consistently strong team spirit and sportsmanship. Opposing coaches commented on the quality of Team Milan's play. The boys only lost two games, including a Fall Cup game where they were only able to field 7 boys and narrowly lost against a full opposing squad. Thanks go to Coaches Maury McNeil and Dave Burns for balancing technical and team instruction, and to the boys, who made every game fun to watch.

This is the U8 Cosmos team who finished their great indoor season with flying colours. Thanks to coach Jeff Weiland, they enjoyed one last gathering with pizza and gifts. Congratulations to all players!

The Aston Villa "Gremlins" had a great weekend. The girls played their hearts out and earned themselves a silver medal. Saturday we played two games winning the first game 5-0 against a team from Aldergrove. The afternoon game was a different story, after falling behind 2-0 against the PSA Predators. The girls rallied together to come back and tie the game with under 3 minutes left, never giving up and getting a number of opportunites to win the game. Sundays gold medal game against St. Albert was a hard fought battle for first. Down 1-0 at the half the girls once again fought back to tie. Needing a win for the gold they pushed St. Albert to the wall! Close but no cigar..(they are not supposed to smoke anyways). They walked off the field to a standing ovation from friends and family not to mention the fans from St. Albert. We as coaches couldn't have been more proud. Brad Thompson Assistant Coach Aston Villa "Gremlins"

CWSC Torino U16B Premier Tier 3 with 2 guest players from CWSC Real Madrid U14B Premier Tier 2 placed 2nd at the Slush Cup. They beat league rival NSDSC Terror to make it to the final and narrowly lost to NSDSC Rovers 6-5 after a well fought battle. A real testament to the hard work and skill of all Torino players and their coaches Ibrahim and Steve. Congratulations Torino!The Gremlins- Aston Villa team played magnificently in the Edmonton Slush Cup round robin. The girls dominated most aspects of the three games such as being first to the ball, passing well and making effective shots to the net. Kierstyn was absolutely brilliant in net giving the Gremlins three shut out victories. The wins propelled the team into the Gold/Silver medal -finals against the St. Albert Grapes of Wrath. In this game, the girls played one of their strongest opponent of the season. The Gremlins put two goals on the scoresheet first but the Grapes answered with 3 more goals in the end of the second. Silver it had to be!! The tournament was an overall success. Well done girls!!!
