"The next big thing":FC SAMOA proudly announces new u-11 d1 travel team (Spring and Fall 2012 ). As a result of our very large Academy turnout in u-10 and u-11, we have been able to form a very exciting all-county travel team, comprising players from Garberville to Trinidad! Team will begin Spring Training March 1st.

ACADEMY BREAKS ATTENDANCE RECORD: 140 players served in a single week ! Fc Samoa has groups this Winter in Cutten, Eureka, and Crescent City...as well as 4 groups in Samoa! The club has experienced phenomenal growth in its 3rd season, and is expanding to fill its mission as a "regional" soccer resource. Youngest player on the week in question? Miles Schmidt age 5 (Pee Wee Pre-Academy). Oldest? Ethan Ricca age 39 (ok he's a Coach)
* FC Samoa ran no less than SIX (6) Futsal teams as a "companion" to our classes.

FC Samoa has (as part of its mission) to expose serious scholar-athletes to the highest levels of d1 soccer in the State. It is the only proven road to College-prep. The Nor Cal Premier league provides a one-game a week vehicle(we double up games for travel economy)for long-term soccer development. Teams who win Bronze or Silver (as we did) are moved up to the next level. Life in the fast lane refers to the fact that at Gold level EVERY athlete is selected on speed, most clubs have 2 or 3 teams at each age level (fighting for their spots)and that the coaching is very focused, driven, and professional.

FC Samoa’s U14 Girls competed in Mad River’s Redwood Classic this past weekend, taking the Gold in a dramatic final, Sunday August 21^st.  After struggling in the first rounds on Saturday, Samoa rebounded with an assertive third round 4-0 win Sunday morning versus Redding Missfit Fusion.  Highlights included three goals by Kaitlin Rodriquez, and one goal by Claire Bareilles. This win qualified Samoa to move on to the division finals in the afternoon versus the undefeated Redding Missfit Adrenaline, a very aggressive and talented team.  Samoa’s Olivia Ritter secured the first goal on a stellar direct kick, and the Adrenaline responded shortly after.  A tremendous defensive team effort kept these teams tied through two overtime periods, and FC Samoa prevailed in penalty kicks.  Goalie Wars Champion, Maddie Pomerantz turned back three penalty kicks, and Samoa hit all of there’s, securing the victory.
