04 FEB 2010 - Chelsea Blue Girls Under 9 are currently placed 2nd in their Governor's Cup bracket and are hoping to advance to the Round of 16 this Saturday in Temecula. The Chelsea girls traveled last weekend to Simi Valley and shut out the Laguna Hills Eclipse in a 5-0 game last Saturday afternoon. After a night of BBQ ribs, movies, fun and games at the Holiday Inn Express in Simi Valley, the girls met the Crusaders from San Diego and allowed only one goal in a 6-1 game.

Meeting the FC Heat from Escondido at noon on Sunday proved to be a bigger challenge for the girls. The Heat was coming off of 2 big wins on Saturday, and were apparently well-rested and ready to fight. Chelsea had an early 1 point lead, but in the last of the 2nd half, we allowed several goals and lost painfully 1-4. The next, and final match in this round will be this coming weekend, Feb 6th in Temecula when we meet the Simi Valley Eclipse at 9am. Simi Valley Eclipse is currently ranked 4th in the bracket. A win, or even a tie, will advance the Chelsea Girls to the next round in State Cup.

04 FEB 2010 - As the G99's fall season came to an end this weekend during the Cal South State Cup Tournament in San Bernardino, the Chelsea players and families came together to honor a So Cal Blues player - Katie Hawley #3. Katie aka KitKat, 9, was diagnosed with Stage 3, High Risk, Ganglioneuroblastoma, nodular cancer, in August 2009. Currently, Katie is undergoing stem cell chemo at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and fighting each day for her life.

Katie's amazing Mom, Mary Kay, was so generous to send the entire team bracelets which were created to honor Katie's fight against cancer. The bracelet says, "Katie Hawley #3 Climb The Mountain." Each Chelsea player received a bracelet before their first game on Saturday and sat and talked a bit about Katie's story and the battle she has been going through and the battle which lies ahead in the days and months to come. Despite the sad story, there were no sad faces... the girls were so proud to wear her bracelet! So proud, they would put the bracelet in a shin guard when the referees made them remove them before the game.

Throughout the State Cup weekend, the Chelsea girls talked often about Katie, made her handmade cards and took pictures showing their support of her fight. Several photos are shown here. We hope the photos bring a smile to Katie's face and inspire other teams, players and those within the soccer community and beyond to reach out to Katie and her family during this challenging time.

To learn more about Katie's story, please visit http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/katiehawley. You will be inspired by Katie's fight to live, her devoted and loving parents, her ever-growing support system and the hundreds of strangers who have stumbled upon her story one way or another and offer their prayers and support to the Hawley family each and every day.

The Chelsea SC G99 team looks forward to seeing Katie back on the soccer field soon! Keep Climbing Katie, you can do it!

28 JAN 2010 - After an opening round loss the team rebounded with three straight wins including clean sheets in the semi finals and finals. According to coach Bolin: "Our athletes could have packed it in after the first loss, but they didn't". "They came back even stronger and reorganized themselves which shows a lot of heart". Second round action saw G97 Blue returning to their prior run of good form. Pinpoint passing and surgical finishing produced a 2-1 victory with Ashley Roskelly scoring the first goal with a clinical finish placing the ball calmly in the back of the net. Luli Bethencourt then provided the winning goal with a nice bit of skill beating the goalkeeper off the far post. Fantastic services leading to the assists were provided by Quincy Burtenshaw and Kaylee Bolin.

The victory was enough to place G97 Blue in the semi-finals were they faced the first place team from the other bracket. But Ashley Roskelly's 2 goal performance (both of which where 20 yard rockets!) was too much and G97's run of good form continued with a 2-0 victory. Excellent team work provided by Emily Pelstring, Makinna Posada, Dominique Oden, Karlie Bennett, and Julia Tan provided the necessary build up to produce such fine finishes. Back up goalkeeper, Jessica Matson, produced the clean sheet which set a rematch of game one for the final.

In the final, facing a determined and gritty silver team they had previously lost to, G97 maintained possession and balance which lead to a foul resulting in set piece just outside the penalty box. Set piece specialist, Kaylee Bolin, produced a wicked blast over the wall which proved too much for the goalkeeper putting Blue up 1-0 going into the half. The second half picked up where the first ended with G97 providing the majority of possession. With 10 minutes left in the game, Kaylee Bolin again fired a blast past the goalkeeper cementing the game and the tournament championship. Clean sheets were compliments of CC McPhee, Makayla Lichtenwalter, Julissa Zuniga, Audrey Briseno, and GK Gillian Kliss. Well done girls! And congratulations!

18 JAN 2010 - Chelsea Blue and Chelsea Black teamed up to reach the final in the Irvine Winter Classic. The boys outscored their opponents 5 goals to 1 in pool play before reaching the final where they fell to Wolfpack under the rain in a tightly contested match.

24 NOV 2009 - Since Spring of 2009, Chelsea SC B97 Blue had one mission... to win their bracket in fall and get promoted to Silver. Using our mission statement since we started... "the team that prays together, stays together", the bond these young men have created will never be broken.

The team took no time off this year, played in 5 tournaments against top flight competition and worked on a possession game to out maneuver their opponents. Led by team captains Brian Hai, Logan Harrigan and Andy Norin, these young men exceeded all expectations. In just their 2nd year together, the defense only gave up 10 goals all season. The defensive crew leading the way was Logan Harrigan in goal (who posted 7 shutouts), Brandon Kretschmer at center back, Riley Villanueva, Mason Mitzner and Seth Revuelda on the outside, Connor Leech and Joshua Gutierrez sharing time at Stopper.

Our midfield was the most improved unit this year with many of our goals coming from this highly skilled group of boys. With Andy Norin, Chase Gray and Eric Kamin sharing duties on the outside, Brian Hai, Isaac Meda and Joshua Gutierrez shared time holding down our center mid posts. Finally, newcomers Kevin Villareal (who led our team in goals) and Parker Hodges (who led our team in running through whatever was in front of him) alongside our veteran Steve Vizarraga playing the role of Ronaldo on top brought forth a new attacking dimension we never had.

Our team speed, overall defensive organization and keen technical superiority was the key to the season's success. Congratulations boys on being promoted to Silver. Your coaching staff and parents could never be more proud. Looking for to meeting our goals in 2010 while growing in the beautiful game.

23 NOV 2009 - Congratulations to Alexandra Moon for being selected to the 95 ODP Winter Pool. This is the the second year in a row that Aly was selected to the pool.

Currently Aly is and 8th grader at Brea Middle School and plays club soccer on the Chelsea SC G93 Premier team under the direction of Coach Mike Silzer & Gabe Smith.

This season Aly has gained the attention of many college coaches through out the G16 premier season and a variety of college showcases. Her work ethic and skill have contributed towards her success.

Cal South's Olympic Development Program proudly announced its selections for its 2009-2010 ODP Winter Pools. The talented boys and girls who have been chosen for this honor now go into training over the next month in preparation for the US Youth Soccer ODP Region IV Championships, which will be held in Phoenix, Arizona from January 16-19, 2010.

23 NOV 2009 - Chelsea G97 - Blue finished an awesome season in spectacular fashion with an undefeated 13-0-1 record! Our athletes worked very hard thanks to continued improvement in foot speed, skills, and tactical shape. All combined to make this a successful growing opportunity.

The defending core lead by Kaylee Bolin, Audrey Briseno, Cecilia McPhee, Makayla Lictenwalter, and Gillian Kliss gave up only 4 goals ALL SEASON! Gillian produced a total 11 clean sheets. Truly tremendous!

All fall, the team had been working on the linkage between the defenders and strikers. Which means all things went through our midfielders in transition. The midfielder crew lead by Ashley Roskelly, Madeleine ("Maddie") Olsen, Julia Tan, Emily Pelstring, and Dominique Oden served up those "killer-through-balls" which lead to 50 goals for the season. Awesome distribution team!

So who scored those 50 goals? Our quick and tuff strikers lead by Lauren ("Luli') Bethencourt, Quincy Burtenshaw, Karlie Bennett, and Jessica Matson supplied a powerful scoring punch. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight IN the dog! Fabulous finishing girls!

With certain promotion looming, the team is looking forward to the many challenges we face. Congratulations on a fantastic season! Keep up the hard work!
