Over 120 players, parents, siblings, coaches and our visiting Dutch coaches from the Hoek Camp enjoyed a great, MP Striker club wide event at the Mountain Terraces in Woodside. The huge lawn area in the back was a hit for the over 50 kids to play and run. There were MANY smiling faces to be seen during the sack races, three legged races, and soccer games. The kids were especially attentive and enthusiastic when they were handed out items from the raffle where every child present received at least one item such as jerseys (from English Premiere league, AJAX and others), soccer balls, goalie gloves, T Shirts, MLS Posters, AJAX pins and stickers and signed photo cards, hacky sacks, Earthquake backpacks, and more. Most of all, it was great to see all the families in the Striker club integrate together as one unit.

We look forward to using this venue again soon for another club wide event. Special thanks to Jeanine Morgan, Juliet Wilson and Tom Sweeney for helping make this event come together. Many more to come!

The purpose of this survey is to hear what you, the parents think! We want to provide the Strikers Director of Coaching and Board with important feedback regarding your Strikers coaches.

We know you are busy and appreciate your time to complete this survey. Your feedback provides the Club with valuable information to provide the best possible soccer environment for your kids. Once again, this survey is confidential.

Washington Freedom was in town for their match against the Bay Area Gold Pride this weekend. 95G Blue was able to assist these former Olympians and world cup players at their Saturday practice! Abby Wambach, Brianna Scurry, Cat Whitehill... These professional women are amazing!

The MP Strikers 98B Class One Academy hosted the club’s first ever tournament March 28th and 29th at Lyle Park. The eight team March Madness tournament included several local teams all vying for the championship title.

The MP Strikers 98B Blue team grabbed the first spot with undefeated preliminary play, beating out the Peninsula Titans, De Anza Force White, and SASC Lightning with a 24-5 goal differential. The boys played a tough, undefeated MCFC Express team in the final game and pulled out a 3-1 win in regulation play, ending the tournament with a 4-0 record and a 27-6 goal differential. Congratulations 98B Blue!

Our U10 girls participated in the California Spring Cup and went undefeated to win their pool and make it to the finals. The girls scored an impressive win against a very tough SoCal Blues team (2-0) en route to the championship game. They also beat a club from Las Vegas (5-0) and tied a strong Legends team from Glendora/Chino Hills (1-1). They lost the Championship match to Anaheim (2-3) in a closely contested game with several lead changes. Congrats to the U10 girls for their outstanding finish as finalists in their first 11 v. 11 tournament! 

U15 boys participated in the Premier division of the NORCAL Spring Show Case and won all their games by shut out (1-0, 4-0, 3-0) qualifying for the Championship game. They lost the Championship match to Santa Clara Sporting, which is ranked #4 in the U.S.

This team has qualified for the championship game in their last four tournaments - winning two of them as well as the Fall NORCAL League. You boys are role models for our club - Go Strikers!!!
