Join the team
Winning District and going to the State Finals wasn't enough to keep the status quo in our team. "C'est la Vie" and its perpetual changes.
Not that we need to restore anything, but July just started, and Alamo Revolution is still looking for a couple of passionate players with committed family for its soon to be U-12 team (kids born after July 31, 1996).
If that fits your mindset, please give Olivier a call (210 862 3609).

A great season
Our season ended up with another great experience, as the kids made it all the way to the Memorial Day Tournament with four wins.
The weekend was a success despite losing in a penalty shootout in the Final. We decided to play there to bounce back after losing the State Finals and the kids did exactly that as a team. They played good, they had fun, they fought, we can't really ask much more.
|
Overall, it was a great season, as every kid made huge stride on their way to become some very nice soccer player. I also learned the importance of winning this season, and teaching brought us a big chunk of those Ws : we played 45 games this year and won 32 of them (2 ties, 11 losses).
We won the President's day Cup, the Independent League, the South Texas District, went to the State Finals and the final of the Memorial Day tournament, and scored 123 goals while giving up 46. Those are great numbers. Beyond the indeniable mathematics, it is also proof that we are more than ever on the right track. But without the vision those numbers have no life. Seing the big picture is and will remain our goal.
So, together, let's keep hammering at those rocks. We may just find a gem inside...

Revolution goes to State
Winning five games in the playoffs without giving a single goal is not a small accomplishment. It says a lot about the kind of control you have on a game. Well, not all the games...
Playing and winning two games, the semi-finals and finals, in overtime, in a span of two hours, says a lot about the mental toughness of the team. The kids really dug deep to get this championship, but this is the price to pay to win at this level.
|
Physically and mentally they won't forget those two days for a very long time. And this is precisely the kind of experience that makes you grow before your eyes. Defense, chemistry and sacrifice were the keys to this tiring weekend. They will be equally essential in the next round, the State Finals (May 17-18).

Revolution wins the President's Day Cup!
What a nice way to start a new season!
Winner of all their games without conceding a single goal, the Alamo Revolution U-11 team confirmed brilliantly the progress shown this winter in the Independent League by beating the Lions U-12 White team (3-0), as well as the AC Storm (4-0) and the Lions Red (2-0) in the Finals.
A solid display of desire, skills and teamwork that perfectly launches the coming NEYSO season.
