Strong Finish

After an incredibly difficult start plagued with injuries, illness, and other complications you showed amazing courage, strength, and great team work.  I'm proud of your strong finish going 2-1-1 in the last four games.  It has been a privilege to be your coach for the past 7 years. You're a great group of young men!

Adidas Cup

Falcons, I am extremely pleased with how we are playing so far. We've improved throughout each game and gotten better from game to game. These first two wins have been great! Let's stay focused and get two more!

Adidas Cup and Fall Schedule

And just like that summer is almost over.  Next week is the Adidas Cup and the following week Fall season games begin!

Please review our posted Fall Schedule ASAP and let me know if there are any conflicts.  I can make 2 schedule changes prior to the season start without penalty.  After that they cost $50.  I'm planning to change the Sept 12 game because the ACT is that day and I figure we will have multiple conflicts that day.

You can see the schedule following this link: Fall Schedule

Our schedule is also posted below on the team calendar.  Please review and get back to me ASAP to confirm any conflicts.

U18 Tryout Results

Thank you to everyone that came to tryouts!  We had a great turn out and a lot of talent.  I wish we could take everyone but there's only so many spots on a roster.  Selections are posted on the club website (Boys Results). The coaches will also be making phone calls. If you have any questions please feel free to call either of the U18 coaches from the handout we gave you at tryouts.  I'm looking forward to a successful final year of youth soccer!

Second Place and Tryouts!

It was certainly an interesting season and our final game was one of the strangest games I think I've ever coached.  After everything we ended up in a three way tie for first place! Based on the tie-breaks we ended placing second. Well done Falcons!

Now it's time to get ready for tryouts.  Tryouts for 2015-2016 are Saturday May 30 from 2:00 - 4:00 pm at Bennion Junior High.  Register online for tryouts using this link.

See you there!!

Provisional Games Begin

Spring training for Provisional has been fun, but now it's time for games to begin. I will keep the calendar on his page up to date. You can check for practice and game times and locations on the calendar. I'm excited to see how we come together this season!

Great Start

An excellent way to start off the Fall season. Excellent game today FALCONS!

Fall Season Begins!

And just like that summer is over, everyone is back in school and Fall games BEGIN!  I'm excited to get our fall season started.  Remember to pay attention to the practice and game schedules.  A lot of you are working and I need you to make every effort to schedule your time to support your team.  Please review the game and practice calendar at the bottom of the website carefully and contact Coach with any conflicts or concerns.

Tryout Results

Tryout results are now posted on the club website.  Follow this link for the Boys Results.  Thank you to everyone who came to tryout! For those that were selected please make sure to contact coach to confirm your acceptance for your selected team.

Tryouts

Just like that Spring season is over and it's time for tryouts.  Tryouts are this Saturday, May 31 at Bennion Junior High.  U17 age group is from 2 pm - 4 pm.  Come early to fill out your registration form.  Cost for returning Razzia players is $10 and you get a t-shirt.  New players are $15.  See you Saturday!

Whirlwind Spring Season

It's been a crazy 4 weeks of soccer.  With the late start for provisional and reschedules we played our first 8 games in just over 3 weeks.  Just 2 more games to go!  Let's finish strong and have fun!

Great Start!

Excellent start to our Provisional season!  In HORRIBLE conditions you guys battled for the ball, challenged, pressured, and kept playing through everything.  I'm proud of the way you played and excited for the rest of the season!  See you on Thursday.

Let the Games Begin!!! oops

Like all of you I'm excited for Spring games to begin.  They were supposed to begin this coming Tuesday, April 15.  However, there is a scheduling conflict with our opponent's field.  So please take a look at the schedule online (link).  You can also keep up to date with the calendar at the bottom of this page.  Stay tuned and we'll see what happens next week.

Bouncing Back!

You guys are playing great soccer.  Even the previous three games I feel like we've been playing better as a team ... just haven't found the net often enough and we've had some really weird situations the last 3 games. Way to bounce back and play a strong game start to finish today with good energy and attitudes for the entire game! Love seeing those 3 points for today's game!  Keep up the hard work and great team play and we'll keep putting 3's on the board.

Fall Season

Great tournament last week!  But no time to take it easy. Fall season begins this Wednesday!! Wednesday's game is AWAY in Kaysville at Fairfield JH, 5:30 kickoff, so 4:45 warmup.  It's about a 40-50 min drive from SLC so plan to leave around 4:00 or slightly sooner.  If you need a ride please make arrangements early on Tuesday. 

Please follow this link to review the schedule online. Review it carefully and please let me know ASAP if there are any games that you can NOT make.  If we need to reschedule any games I have to get that started soon. We may try to move most of the 8:30 am Saturday games to later in the day to make it easier for Aram to make the games.  Is that a problem for anyone?

Weekday games will be at 5:30pm, which means 4:45 pm warmup, so that they finish before dark as the season progresses. Please make whatever arrangements are necessary to be able to get to the games on time.

Home games we always wear RED jersey, shorts, and socks and bring white jersey.  

Away games we always wear WHITE jersey and socks with red shorts, and bring red jersey.

The schedule is updated on the team calendar (see below), including games and training. The locations are also included so you can link to Google maps to find the fields for the away game

The club is providing Coerver training again this fall but I don't have schedule details for that yet.  I will get that added as soon as it is available.
