LANCASTER, Calif (June 21st, 2009) - California Youth Soccer association proudly announces two Regional Champions. Under 18 Girls Pleasanton Rage and Under 14 Girls Mustang Blast were crowned US Youth Soccer Regional IV Champions and have earned a berth to the US Youth Soccer National Championships July 21st - 26th, 2009 in Lancaster, Mass., at Citizens Bank Fields at Progin Park. Along with the Rage and Blast the runner up Under 16 Girls De Anza Force 92 Blue will represent Region IV at the National Championships as the Region IV Champion So Cal Blues had qualified for National earlier in the year by taking the second place seat in the US Youth Soccer National League.
 Seven CYSA teams competed in Championship matches producing some nail-biting action. In the Under 12 Girls match the Mustang Mavericks Hailey Balma posted a 48th minute goal sending the game into overtime but it was not enough to hold up as the Mavericks lost 2-1 to Cal South's Arsenal FC. CYSA's Redwood Juventus CRS Elite Under 12 Boys earned their way to the finals without a loss but fell to the So Cal team Legend FC by a 4-1 deficit. The Elite's goal was scored by Benjamin Hiltbrand Consoli in the 40th minute. The defending Region IV Champions, Under 13 Girls Mustang Fury, took a tough 2-0 loss to West Coast FC (CA-S) after giving up only one goal and scoring 15 during match play in preliminary rounds, quarter and semi finals. Facing the defending Region IV champions, Cal South's West Coast FC, after 5 wins to take them to the finals, the Under 13 Boys Santa Clara Sporting 95 was unable to add to their 32 goal total and they had to settle for runner-up.
 In another match against a defending Regional Champion (So Cal Blues), the Mustang Blast's Reilly Parker booted a 27th minute shot tying the Under 14 Girls championship match at 1-1. The score remained tied throughout regulation and overtime. Using the Kicks From the Mark tie-breaker, the Blast prevailed by netting 4 while the Blues were only able to score 3. The Under 16 Girls So Cal Blues and De Anza Force 92 Blue game started out with a 5th minute Blues goal. De Anza's Alesha Blair countered in the 25th minute and for the tie, and the Blues regained the lead in the 35th minute. Although the Blues won the game 2-1, the punched their ticket to the National Championships earlier in the year by taking the second place slot in the US Youth Soccer National League. This allows the Force to advance and represent Region IV in the National Championships.
 In what proved to be an impressive performance the Under 18 Girls age group brought together the 2007 Regional Champion, Pleasanton Rage and the So Cal Blues. The Blues' defense held off Pleasanton's dominating offense until the 43rd minute when Madelyn Payne shot one past the keeper and Ahsha Smith followed suit in the 54th minute. Olivia Klei added another Pleasanton goal in the 76th minute and Payne chipped in her second in the 87th minute for the 4-0 victory over the Blues.
Champions in the Under 14 through Under 19 age groups will advance to the US Youth Soccer National Championships in Lancaster Massachusetts in mid July. Be sure to follow the CYSA teams' game results on the CYSA and US Youth Soccer web sites.
 2009 Far West Regional Results for CYSA teams

California Youth Soccer Association's Female Youth Referee of the Year has been named as the 2009 US Youth Soccer Region IV Young Female Referee.
Christine Walden is an 18 year old high school senior from Danville, CA. With major accomplishments in music, food drive volunteer work, and a 4.0 GPA, Christine has kept herself busy and successful on fields of play that differ greatly from her demonstrated success as a soccer official. She is a highly ranked goalkeeper in the CYSA Division 1 league, and is an accomplished saxophone player in her high school band. Her work as a sports medicine intern is a prelude to her career goal of becoming a nurse practitioner. As a Grade 7 soccer official Christine is comfortable at every level of youth soccer, working nearly 100 games a season. While she happens to possess a black belt in Karate, she finds her greatest asset in difficult moments and the occasional on field confrontation is her sense of humor.
CYSA is extremely proud of Christine's accomplishments and we congratulate her on being selected to represent the State Association and Region IV. Christine's name will be added to the list of extraordinary young women who have been honored with this award in the past and who have gone on to achieve great things.

The CAL/EPA Evaluating Artificial Turf
The California Environmental Protection Agency (CAL/EPA) is evaluating the new generation of artificial turf playing fields. Past studies suggest these fields are safe. Cal/EPA's evaluation will add to the body of health information on these playing fields.
To accomplish this we need to estimate how many hours athletes spend playing organized sports each year. For hours spent playing soccer, we believe soccer coaches can provide the most accurate estimates. Please consider using the link below to take our very short survey. This survey asks coaches to estimate the time soccer players spend at organized practices and organized games each year (in an organized soccer league: youth, school or adult).
The results of this survey will be published in our final report, scheduled for completion in the spring of 2010. Thank you very much for taking the time to help make our study possible. Feel free to call or email me if you have any questions.
