CSL Success!
Special Congratulations
 
Congratulations to all teams who competed in CSL play this year helping SBSC to a club winning record of 178-139-52. I would also like to applaud the 10 SBSC teams that earned promotion this season especially those who finished as Champions. No SBSC Teams were relegated. 
 
SBSC had 3 coaches guiding both their teams to promotion this season, with another team recording a perfect season. 
 
Congratulations to Coaches:
  • Marco Medina (GU10 W & GU14 W)
  • Lloyd Biggs (BU17 & GU19)
  • Jeff Johnson (GU11W & GU14W) 
Special mention goes to coach Rudy Ybarra who had the BU14 white team finish as champions in Silver Elite and BU12 white team finish 2nd in Gold (The highest level of competition for U12 in Southern California). They also Won the CSL League Cup.

Congratulations to the BU10 white team for going 12-0-0 in Bronze scoring 100 goals and conceding only 8.
