The 2020 Weston Cup was a resounding success for our FUTSOC Club at all levels of play. A nationally recognized youth soccer tournament, Weston Cup attracts the finest teams from Florida, the U.S. and internationally. To this end, we entered four teams in the U11, U12, U14 and U17 categories, with TWO of our teams reaching the championship finals.

This yearly event, used to measure our team’s growth and development, serves as a clear indicator of our physical development, tactical understanding for the older age groups, technical proficiency for our younger teams and an overall grasp of play concepts.

This year was no different, as two of our teams, developed over the years, attained the finals of yet another tournament…a clear reflection on the individual and collective growth and maturation of our players. As is our norm, the FUTSOC process continues to yield the expected results, all while providing the players with absolute enjoyment and an enhanced competitive process. It is certainly noteworthy, that our teams were paired with teams with superior rankings and experience and yet, we were able to outright win our respective groupings in two greatly competitive age groups.

Both our U14 and U17 FUTALAN Boys each attained 2 wins, 1 tie and 0 losses, in group stage to advance to the championship games. Their performances were successively superior and worthy of praise even from opposing coaches (and our own coaches) as well as, general observers and evaluators in attendance. These were hoped for qualitative objectives, which in turn produced the most positive results.

Our U12 boys were placed in a very difficult grouping, winning the opening match by the score of 2::1, losing by the minimum 0::1 in game two and in the third match, losing 0::2. These were very competitive matches, which required maximum efforts from our boys and unfortunately, fell short of our anticipated goals. However, the performances were truly solid and showed the continued progress which the team continues to exhibit.

With the measured progress exhibited in this event, Miramar Cup and Showcase will serve as our next excellent challenge and will be held on the 7rh and 8th of March, where our hosts are very excited to have our teams compete.

In closing, I wish to thank you all for your dedicated support of our coaches efforts and understand that we continue on our mission to develop our fine young student athletes / players (your children) with excellent attention to their emotional, psychological and physical development…all while inspiring their passion and excitement…and most importantly, while having much FUN!

Serious soccer made FUN!
