The BU12 White group is ONE DEDICATED TEAM!  Faced with horrible driving conditions, parents and coaching staff -- Jorge Barrera, Doug Kenyon, and Steve Olsen -- banded together to carpool the players through snow, ice, and slush, to get the boys to their GRFC Tournament game.  Unfortunately, once they heroically arrived at the field, the referees canceled two of their games ...

... but with parents and coaches who support the team SO WELL --

THEIR FUTURE IS SUNNY !   GO BU 12 WHITE !!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to all the FC Alliance Teams who had GREAT Fall RCL Seasons:

But of special note, is the BU10 Gold team of Coach Santa Maria Rivera. Their UNDEFEATED SEASON in the BU10 - 9 a side Division, is the BEST START EVER for an FC Alliance team.   Coach Rivera had FOUR specific ideas why he thought the BU10 gold boys were so successful. READ MORE....

FCA Alumna Reagan Quigley accepted an offer from The University of Idaho from Coach Peter Showler.  Reagan worked with many FC Alliance coaches, including Ed Lim, Jorge Barerra and Katie Hultin.  Reagan’s mother, Sharon, says "Katie was not only an excellent coach but a knowledgeable and caring mentor for players interested in college soccer." In addition, many soccer coaches along the way offered extra training that was vital to Reagan’s development. Reagan’s discipline on the soccer field has also paid off academically at Woodinville High School, where she is currently the ASB Student Body President maintaining a 3.89 GPA.  On her high school soccer team, Reagan earned her 3^rd letter this year and served as Captain.  

Long time FC Alliance player Alexis Thode has accepted a spot on the Washington State University soccer team for Fall 2012.

Alexis wants to thank her FC Alliance coaches over the years: Jorge Barrera, Ed Lim, and Katie Hultin; and goal keeper coaches Doug Kenyon and Justin Mak.   Alexis has also played at the Olympic Development Player level. Her Bothell High School coach, Shaun Warner, has been a great coach, where Alexis has served as captain for two years, earning King County 4A Honorable Mentions, 2nd team, King County 4A 1st team, in her three years at Bothell High School.   Alexis’s proud parents – FC Alliance Treasurer Carsten and Joyce Thode – point out that she has been active for many years with Science Olympiad, Honor Society and Executive Council – all while maintaining a 3.856 grade point average! CONGRATULATIONS, Alexis and Family !

Thanks to everyone’s efforts, $3,500 was raised for the Scholarship Fund at this year's Holiday Break Camp organized by FCA coach, Hugo Alcaraz. This past year, over 50 under-served youth players received premier-level soccer training at FC Alliance through scholarships.

Coach Hugo was very grateful:  "thanks to all the kids, parents, and young FC Alliance coaches, for coming out and making the camp a great success. The kids had a great time and I am looking forward to next year." 

President Elect Tom Campbell added his thanks:  "This spirit of giving to help other soccer players in our club stay in FCA is a tremendous example of who we are as a club. Thanks to Hugo and each of you who made this great for the kids and great for the club. Have a wonder filled holiday."

 Washington Youth Soccer 2010 Competitive Coach of the Year 

Hugo Alcaraz-Cuellar

After 28 years playing soccer for teams like the Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers, Hugo has spent the last two years coaching at FC Alliance. Hugo’s coaching ethic of hard work, discipline, and fun, have earned impressive results for his boys teams.  But it’s Hugo’s work off the field, to promote diversity in soccer, and raise funds for scholarships so that kids from all incomes can play premier soccer, that also earned him this prestigious award. -- CONGRATULATIONS, COACH HUGO !  We are all so proud of you !
