BU8 White - Emilio Rodriguez "Emilio is starting to understand the game more, and is developing into a fast, enthusiastic and tricky player." ~Coach Healey

GU9 White - Samantha Aguilar "Sammy has a nose for the goal and has been our leading goal scorer all season. She is very skillful with the ball and has the ability to get past players with ease. Her technical and tactical skills are far above most players her age and have been a nightmare for all of our opponents. Her ability to strike the ball from practically any angle and keep the ball on frame has made her a player coaches worry about. She works hard at practice and tries to perfect the skills taught to her. Her love for the game shows at practice and during game day." ~ Coach Cortez

BU9 White - Jacob Pickell "Jacob has been a very inspirational player on this team. As one of our 5 returning players from last year, he has catapulted himself to being one of the most improved players. He is usually one of the first players to practice and games and is always involved in team/club functions. Jake is always willing to improve on his technical skills --- stays after practice and continue to kick the ball around. His dedicated parents also hired a Private Trainer to improve his Technical Skills. This is what SWSC is all about --- COMMITMENT, DEDICATION, PASSION, HEART, WORK ETHIC, and DESIRE TO BE THE BEST! This could not have been possible without the complete commitment and dedication from Jacob's parents. Thank you Jim & Diana!!!" ~Coach Moss

GU10 White - Madison Olson "Maddi has demonstrated great leadership on the team, stepping up to new positions, denying goals from opponents and showing awesome skills and confidence in the process. Maddi has tremendous talent and will go far with continuous hard work." ~Coach Solis

BU10 White - Harrison Gravatt "Harrison consistently gives 110% and has adapted very quickly to his new environment --- competitive soccer. He has improved tremendously in his technical development. Harrison is best known to be a very good listener and a willingness to learn from his coaches. This is certainly what SWSC is all about. I give full credit to Harrison's parents for his development as a player but most importantly their commitment to the team and SWSC Club. Thank you Jordan & Paula!!" ~Coach Moss

GU11 White - Bailee Thompson "Bailee has improved since day one. Her progress has included juggling over 86 times, playing multiple positions (including goal keeper when needed), being aggressive and not wanting to come off the field unless she has physically exhausted herself. Bailee has been an important part of our team this year and we are blessed to have her." ~Coach Solis

BU11 Elite - Humberto Martinez "Humberto is a very consistent player who has excellent ball skills and great ability in 1v1 situations which is why we call him Little Ronaldinho. Humberto is a threat to every team we play and is our team’s first option when we are on the attack and needing a goal. Humberto has been scoring goals all preseason and has continued his good form during league play netting 3 goals in our last 4 games!" ~Coach Chavez

BU11 Blue - Christian Valadez "He is a hard worker and determined to get better every chance he gets. He always has a positive attitude. In games he provides us with great entertainment with just missing wide on a shot, making a move on the defense that you are just amazed at, or score a goal. He is a good player and becoming a great one." ~Coach Nitti

GU12 White - Samantha Webb "Sami has done an exceptional job between the posts this season. Since working with her goalie trainer, she has shown a tremendous amount of improvement in her technique and confidence. She works hard at every practice and is passionate in her role as a keeper. Such attributes have fueled a player that I feel could be one of the best keepers in the area for her age group. I'm proud to have such a player with such a great work ethic and look forward to the future to see where her progress takes her." ~Coach Cortez

BU12 White - Nick "Fowler" Emilio "As a new member to the team Fowler has performed out of his skin in recent weeks. Has made the left-back position his own and with some more work will be one of the players to watch out for in the future." ~Coach Gregory

GU13 Elite - Alanna "Goose" Guzman "Alanna has made huge strides as a goalkeeper this season. Her commitment and dedication to the position, the team, and the club are in a league of her own. She trains 3-5 days a week to continue to grow. Her growth as a player and as a leader has earned her a "Captain" spot on the team. She has kept us in big games by making world class saves and sparking up the intensity to finish strong. She has been recognized by the ODP staff and represented SWSC in the inaugural Young Olympians Program. Well Done, Goose! We are so proud of you!" ~Coach Lawlor

GU13 White - Angelina Venegas "Angelina has displayed great skills and has played in several different positions this month to help our team play well. She has been consistently playing solid and has become a great team player both in our offensive attack and defense. We hope she continues to play well as our team has some big games ahead. Thanks for putting our team 1st, Angelina. Congratulations." ~Coach Wilson

BU13 Elite - Austin "Mackey" Genevay "Mackey is another new player from our cross town rivals. As they say, he has impressed the public eye with his displays over the past 4 weeks." ~Coach Gregory

GU14 Elite - Alexys Brownell "Alexys is one of the most improved players on the team. She has done well on her presence within the game and has tactically improved in her decision making." ~Coach Boon

GU14 White - Crystal Torres "Crystal has shown very hard work both at practice and in our games - being asked to elevate her play by playing a new position she has never played in before. She has worked very hard for her team and has become a better player for that." ~Coach Shaw

BU15 Elite - Argeni Hernandez "Argeni has showed great work rate and creativity in the center of midfield." ~Coach Healey

BU15 White - Dylan "Riise" Wilson "Riise has just come back from an injury. He is a valuable member of the squad, not just as the captain, but as an important figure at the back. You could see when he returned to the team, the presence he has. At this time he is in a class of his own.." ~Coach Gregory

BU15 Blue - Mason McBride "Mason has demonstrated solid defensive performances with strong tackling and great head play." ~Coach McBride

GU16 Elite - Lindsay Tackett "Lindsay is one of the most technical player son our Premier team. She has represented our club well, coming through the program since U11. She has held a solid sweeper position early in the season and now has become an attacking force at center mid. She has caught the eye of numerous college to play in the future. Great job, Lindsay!" ~Coach Caligiuri

BU16 Elite - Arthur Ethel "Arthur has been the most consistent player in defense and has shown some excellent creativity going forward also." ~Coach Healey

BU16 White - Carlos Ballesteros "Carlos’ skills and field presence have been a great addition to this year’s team." ~ Coach Stromberg
