 Parking Around Prestwood The neighbors and the Police Department are concerned about the parking situation and excessive traffic caused by our soccer on Saturdays, This is around Prestwood School and the short block of East Second Street by the track. We are opening another parking area behind the High School. This is very close to the bridge onto the black top and is closer to Prestwood than parking out on the street. Please could you park in this parking lot. |

On August 28 and 29, the U10B Sonoma Wildcats missed making the Final by 1 goal at the El Dorado Hills Kick-Off Classic, where they would have once again faced the Santa Rosa Laguna Diablos, a team they defeated 2 weeks earlier in Ft. Bragg to take home the Skunk Classic Championship. As it turned out, the Wildcats managed to win the Consolation Game, taking 3d place, while the Diablos went on to win the Championship, defeating the Eureka Extreme who had earlier turned back the Wildcats' championship bid in a close 3-2 match.
The Wildcat players, coaches and families were honored at the end of the Tournament with the presentation of the Chuk Odorfer Sportmanship Trophy by Tournament Director Rich Spevak to the Wildcats' Head Coach, Rick Hicks. |

In their second tournament of the 2010 season, the Cobras brought home a second championship trophy. Continuing where they left off in Fair Oaks two weeks earlier, the Cobras swept through all four games in Pacifica undefeated, with an impressive 16-1 goal tally against Division 3 teams from San Francisco, Folsom, and Santa Clara. The boys are really gaining confidence in a fast-paced passing and possession-control game. The scoring came from a wide range of players, with two players at 3 goals apiece, and three more with 2 goals each, and nearly every goal with a direct assist resulting from a lot of well-orchestrated teamwork. In all, 8 players found the back of the net, including two newcomers to the team who scored their first goals in a Cobras uniform.
Our back line kept the lid on the games with poise and precision, keeping 3 clean-sheets and conceding only once in what was later described as "the only time we really lost our focus". While the final game was not the nail-biter from Fair Oaks, it was exciting in an entirely different way. Instead of being locked up by nerves and fear of a final, the Cobras came out and dominated the game from the start. The Central Valley (Santa Clara) Gunners were on their back heels from the get-go and simply never had a chance to mount any sort of response to any of the Cobras' six goals. The Cobras took ahold of the game and never let go.

The Sonoma Wildcats, SVYSA's Under 10 Boys Division 3 Team, took first place in their age division at the Division 3 Skunk Classic held in Fort Bragg on August 14 and 15. In Fort Bragg, the Wildcats showed the results of tough but valuable lessons learned the week before at the Novato Classic which had featured some Division 1 teams.
On Saturday, the Wildcats defeated the Santa Rosa Tornadoes 2-1, and then began to show their potential in a very physical and hard-fought 2-3 loss to the Santa Rosa Laguna Diablos. On Sunday, the Wildcats defeated OneLove FC of Mendocino 5-0 and the Wesco Wildcats 2-0, which earned them a berth in the Final based on points, which pitted them once again against the Diablos. The Final was every bit as intense and physical as the first match with the Diablos, but this time the Wildcats prevailed 2-0 to take the Championship based on a stellar defensive performance.
The Wildcats' 13 goals during the tournament were spread among 6 different players, with 9 assists.

The Recreational Division 4 Fall Season is about to begin and here is some basic information:
Opening Day is August 21st. Because the older players compete against teams outside of Sonoma, their games will begin a week or two later to allow time to coordinate the schedule with the other leagues. Picture Day will also be August 21st and your team's photo session will be scheduled around your first game time.
Schedules will be sent out mid-August to the coaches and they will inform their players of their schedule. It will also be posted on this website with a link on the home page. The season will run until the end of October for the younger ages and will go into the first week of November for the older age groups.
Uniform colors vary by age group so questions should be directed to the appropriate Age Group Coordinator for your child. You can find an email link to the Age Group Coordinators on the Directors page of this website.
Coaches are given rosters by mid July and players should receive a call by July 31st. Practices can begin by July 26th but many, especially in the younger age groups, start after August 1st. For other questions about registration issues please see the Registration page. |

Sonoma Soccer is finally up and running with eScrip, an easy way for us to raise funds from everyday purchases around town and on the internet.
If you are familiar with eScrip and already have an account, we ask that you add Sonoma Valley Youth Soccer Association to your list of beneficiaries. You'll find handy links on this website homepage.
If not yet enrolled with eScrip, no worries! We'll assist you every step of the way. It's pretty easy to do yourself just by clicking on the link here on the website. If you don't end up being able to get to it by the time we host our Walk-In Registrations and other soccer events, we'll have helpful volunteers on hand to assist you with eScrip sign ups.
Whether you are enrolled or not, you may contribute to SVYSA by shopping online with eScrip vendors at the eScrip Online Mall. You'll be surprised at the list of everyday shopping you can do there and how fast your eScrip contributions add up.
