This weekend, the vaunted Chivas USA of Florida U20/21 squad visited our training facilities at Tequesta Trace Park in Weston, for our customary friendlies.  A brilliant match, which was very close and even in the opening half, broke open in the second period, as Chivastook control of the midfield and excercised its dominance, to pull away for a final of 1::5. Congratulations to our very fine opponent!! A few selections are forthcoming, as we continue to evaluate regular and guest players for the upcoming events.

These same, which serve as player evaluation matches for both clubs, are an essential part of our programming, in which players are brought in from overseas and managed in a full travel club environment. Various facets are presented to the players, which provide them with a real sense of “life on the road” so to speak. Among those conditions experienced are: the intercity travel, late night / early rise competitions, loneliness, boredom, daily routines and the general rigors of being a part of an upper-level or semi-pro soccer club. These obstacles and inconveniences are a daily part of soccer athletes lives in the upper ranks beyond youth soccer. They must learn to adapt and assimilate if they are to succeed.

In the coming weeks and months, FUTSOC will be traveling to Chivas for another series of matches and evaluations effected by incoming top level EPL Club Staff.
