Sereno Soccer Classic (AZ)

I'm excited to take the girls south to the Sereno Soccer Classic later this month. We've worked hard for the first few winter months and I'm eager to see how we match up to some quality U12 competition.

I took my now U15G team to Sereno last year and enjoyed the experience. Very competitive teams, easy drive from the hotel to the fields (we're in the same hotel this year), and nice weather. Fields are large, yellow, hard, and fast. The size will test the MTA girls' fitness for sure, but we should be a bit used to the pace of the ball coming off the turf and gym floors in tundra we call home.

I'm also excited about our draw. We'll open up against a team I'm guessing we should be able to get a result against in our first game, MSC United 97 Girls from Mesa, then fact a tough Cerritos CRSC Infinity team from Southern California, and arguably the top team in Arizona and host club Sereno 97 White.

As always, I'm hoping we do well enough in group play to help ensure that we have as challenging a fourth game as possible, and even then a 5th against what would surely be a strong opponent. I'd love to match up against the Los Angels FC (CA-S) or the Solar 97 Red girls (TX) at some point.
