The following Westside Breakers teams still have available roster spots open for the upcoming 2008-09 season:

This past Memorial Day weekend was a record breaking weekend as Westside Breakers teams brought home 5 championship trophies at two different tournaments.  The girls U10 (white and blue combined), U14 white and U15 white teams won the Irvine Memorial Day Classic and the girls U16 white and U17 white teams won the Cerritos Memorial Day Invitational.  The five teams combined record over the weekend was 19 wins and 1 tie and they scored 42 goals while giving up only 4.

The Breakers are proud to announce that over 70 players from our club have made their girls varsity high school soccer teams for the current 2007-08 season.  We are also very pleased that over 20 of those players are freshman in their first year in high school.   One of the primary goals in our club is to help prepare our players to play for their varsity high school teams as early as possible and we are extremely pleased with the results this high school season.  All club players take a break from club soccer during the high school soccer season which runs from Thanksgiving through the end of February.  We wish all of our high school players great success with their teams and we look forward to getting back together in the spring.
