Schwan's USA CUP Featured Team

Alooooooooooooooooha,
From the Shockers Soccer Club of Pearl City, Hawaii! We are preparing for our
3RD trip to the USA Cup and hopefully bringing two teams; U19G Shockers and U14B
and Shocker Juniors. Our girls are veterans. This will be the first trip for the
boys. Our Shockers Ohana (family) is so looking forward to this trip. Without
question the best managed tournament we have ever been to. Great Soccer and a
fantastic holiday for our families. Between the Spam Museum, Mall of America,
Valley Fair and developing great and lasting friendships, it doesn't get any
better. We are in the midst of fundraising and just counting the
days.
Feel free to visit our team's website http://shockershi.org/.
On our homepage is a picture of our S3 team girls taken with our own
homegrown Olympian and World Cup team member Natasha Kai. The picture was taken
at the 2006 USA Cup!
