The Quakes Boy’s Academy enjoyed a successful weekend at the U-12 level at the U.S. Soccer NorCal Futsal Showcase in Walnut Creek, Calif.
The U-12s were split into two groups at the tournament, blue and red, with the winner of the blue group facing the winner of the red in the final.
The Quakes’ U-12 “blue team” won their group, beating Sacramento Republic FC 7-3, DeAnza Force 8-1 and Mustang 11-0. They then faced Sacramento Republic FC’s “red team” in the final and won 6-4.
“The players had a lot of fun and worked really hard as a team to win all four games,” said Quakes Academy U-12 coach Mark Christie. “It was an amazing, fast paced event with so much talent on show from all the Bay Area clubs.”
