Northern Virginia Repeats as U14 North American Champions

Northern Virginia Repeats as U14 North American Champions
Majestics Top Chicago Fire in Penalty Kicks, Jordan Kestel Named MVP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taken from USLSoccer.com

After being 30 seconds away from elimination during group play two days earlier, capturing their second consecutive Super Y-League North American Finals title was especially sweet for the Northern Virginia Majestics. The Majestics needed penalty kicks to get the job done for the second consecutive day, defeating the Chicago Fire Juniors by a 5-4 margin following a scoreless tie.

Central defender Jordan Kestel produced the winning kick in the sixth round, and even that produced its own level of drama as Kestel’s high shot hit the crossbar, bounced straight down and then back up off the crossbar and into the net. It forced Kestel’s teammates, primed to rush the field to celebrate, to do a studder-step on the sidelines before piling on their team MVP.

"Obviously you’ve got to be proud of the girls," Majestics Head Coach Chris Jones said. "Two days in a row penalty kicks and all the players came up huge."

Jones singled out the play of keeper Arianna Reichardt, who for the second day in a row made a huge stop after one of her teammates had missed. It was Reichardt’s save on the Chicago Fire’s sixth shooter that set up Kestel’s heroics. (Photo courtesy of Gerald Barnhart)

U14 Majestics Edge Freedom to Advance into Championship

U14 Majestics Edge Freedom to Advance into Championship
Goalkeeper Ari Reichardt Saves Three Before Scoring Winning Penalty Kick
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After ninety grueling minutes and an additional twenty of overtime, the U14 Northern Virginia Majestics and Washington Freedom faced penalty kicks to resolve the scoreless morning in the Super Y-League North American Championship semifinal match Monday morning in Tampa, Florida. Both sides showed their grit and resilience by remaining deadlocked after ten penalty kicks each, but Northern Virginia goalkeeper Ari Reichardt finally decided the stalemate in dramatic fashion with a low blast untouched into the right corner.

Fresh off a dramatic victory the night before, the Majestics squared off against a Freedom squad filled with familiar faces from the Northern Virginia and DC metro area. Each side launched numerous aggressive attacks forward, only to find their efforts thwarted by sturdy defensive lines throughout the match and overtime. Although scoring opportunities were rare, each squad exhibited quality play through the midfield to no avail.

As fatigue became apparent on the faces and wobbly knees of the players, the referee’s whistle sounded to end the second overtime period and the start of penalty kick tie-breakers. The initial round of five kicks concluded with an athletic save from each keeper, but could not produce a decision. Five rounds later, Reichardt found herself in an unusual position, lining up to shoot the ball rather than deflect a penalty kick. With twelve yards and a solid Washington keeper separating herself and a victory for her team, Reichardt calmly strode to penalty spot and struck true to launch the ecstatic Majestics into the title match.

The U14 Majestics face a rematch with the Chicago Fire Junior to defend their North American title earned in 2009. Northern Virginia and Chicago met in the group rounds, with the Majestics emerging victorious on a last minute own goal to win.

NVFC, comprised of the Northern Virginia Royals (male), Northern Virginia Majestics (female), and NOVA FC (male and female) USL teams, is also represented by thirty-three players in the previous SYL ODP Camp pool announced last February. Thirty-two players from the Royals, Majestics, and NOVA FC Super Y-League programs comprised Northern Virginia’s representation the previous year.

The USL North American Finals will be held in Tampa, Florida, and is scheduled to run from November 19th through November 23rd. A total of sixteen teams will clash at every age level in the boys Super Y-League’s U13-U17 divisions. On the girls side, twelve teams will meet from each of the five age divisions. The 2010 version of the Super Y-League finals is the greatest representative of elite youth talent in North America now that the league encompasses nine regions across the United States and Canada.

Northern Virginia Gains National ODP Honors
Royals, Majestics, and NOVA FC Earn 30 National Camp Player Selections
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taken from USLSoccer.com

United Soccer Leagues announced today the player selections for the Super Y-League’s Olympic Development Program (ODP) National Camps to be held at the IMG Academies in Bradenton, Florida next February. Northern Virginia FC is well represented on the list of chosen attendees, claiming thirty spots in the national elite pool.

Each nominated player has been identified as one of the top players in their birth year, and among the top 2% of players in the previous 2010 Super Y-League season.

The Super Y-League ODP camp represents an elite group of players coming together to display their soccer talent and work ethic to collegiate and national team scouts. The ODP focus groups this year will be for the top players (216 Girls & 216 Boys) born in either 1994/1995 or 1996/1997. The additional lists showing those players born in 1992 & 1993 are posted to recognize the top players from those birth years. That list will be promoted to over 1,000 colleges as well as to the USSF National Staff or the Canadian Soccer Association.

USL National Technical Director Peter Mellor, who has spent the past 18 years as a member of the U.S. National Staff and 25 years as an ODP coach, will direct the camps.

“Our Super Y ODP program continues to offer talented players from throughout North America a chance to reach the next level,” Mellor said. “As a coach or as a player, whether you’re at the competitive youth level or the professional level, you want a great environment to play, train and compete in. There’s no better environment than IMG.”

Mellor is keenly familiar with the facility having been a longtime assistant coach for the U.S. Under-17 program, based at IMG. In addition to moving to the facility, Mellor is also aiming to upgrade the quality of experience and coaching for the players attending the camps, with IMG’s facilities offering a great setting to implement those improvements.

“One of the components we’re going to introduce this year for the first time is mental conditioning so our athletes understand the demands of the game and how to deal with them,” Mellor said. “We’re also going to film and analyze the players, and we’re going to provide a college recruitment seminar for players and parents to help them through the process.

“We’re also exploring the possibility of arranging exhibitions against international teams for our ODP All-Star teams on the final day of the camps, which is very exciting.”

Northern Virginia Football Club, comprised of the Northern Virginia Royals (male), Northern Virginia Majestics (female), and NOVA FC (male and female) USL teams, is represented by seven teams in the 2010 North American Finals as well as thirty-three players in the previous SYL ODP Camp pool.

Majestics Lead 12-Team Field To Tampa

Majestics Lead 12-Team Field To Tampa
USL Feature

TAMPA, Fla. -- The 12-team field for the Girls U14 Division of United Soccer Leagues’ Super Y-League North American Finals has been completed, with reigning U13 champions the Northern Virginia Majestics returning to try and add a second title at the tournament scheduled for November 19-23 in Tampa, Fla.

The Majestics picked up where they left off in 2009 over the summer, going 9-1-0 in the South Atlantic Division, the only tie a 1-1 draw in their opening game against fellow qualifier the Richmond Kickers. The goal the Majestics conceded in that contest was the only one they allowed throughout the season, outscoring their opponent 47-1 in 10 league games. Annah Lindberg led the Majestics offense with 16 goals.

While falling in their second contest with Northern Virginia, Richmond also had a strong summer, going 8-1-1 to finish three points behind the Majestics. The Kickers balanced squad saw eight players finish with multiple goals, Katherine Cousins leading the way with seven.

The side Northern Virginia defeated in last season’s U13 final also returns, with the Rage SC from Reading, Pa. winning Group B of the Mid Atlantic Division with a 9-0-1 record. Emily Diehl scored 10 goals in as many games for the Rage, who edged out fellow qualifier the Washington Freedom (8-1-1) by two points.

Match Fit Chelsea from Bayonne, N.J. won Group A in the division, losing only once in its 16-game schedule to finish with a record of 11-4-1. In a highly competitive group, MFC won almost half of its games by just a goal, including a 2-1 victory against group runner-up the Long Island Rough Riders on June 13.

Long Island also finished with only one loss, but finished six points behind MFC thanks to a large number of draws to leave the Rough Riders with a record of 8-7-1. Both teams will be joined in Tampa by the Perugia Grifos, who finished third in Group A. The Grifos finished ahead of Quickstrike FC on goal difference within their own group and held a higher point percentage than Group B third-place finisher Real Maryland FC to advance.

Coastal FC, which advanced to the U13 semifinals in 2009, won the Pacific Northwest Division, but it came down to the final day of the season for the club as it edged out Coquitlam Metro-Ford by a point as both sides drew in their final contests.

CMF earned four points from its contests with Coastal, but a run of draws allowed to Coastal to capitalize and take a one point lead for the only qualification berth from the group. On July 18, Coastal played to a 0-0 tie with Mountain FC, giving CMF an opening to jump them with a victory, but CMF were held to a scoreless draw on the same day by third-placed Thompson-Okanagan FC to send Coastal through.

Single teams also advanced out of the New England and Southeast Divisions, with Seacoast United claiming the berth from the New England Division with a 2-1 victory in their penultimate game against the MPS Lady Knights. Goals from Kendall Ham and Courtney Benson gave Seacoast victory and a seven-point cushion over the Lady Knights, who had only two games remaining.

West Pines clinched the berth from the Southeast Division in style, winning all eight of its games without conceding a goal. Melanie Monteagudo led the team with nine goals in eight games as 10 different players found the scoresheet throughout the season.

Rounding out the field are the two qualifiers from the competitive Midwest Division, which was won by the Chicago Fire Juniors from Michigan. The Fire finished with a record of 6-3-1 as eight points separated the top five teams in the division. The Cleveland Internationals finished a point behind the Fire, going undefeated through the season with a record of 5-5-0.

Both sides also had a pair of players who finished with six goals apiece, the Fire’s Isabella Fiorenzo and Mariah Otolski and the Internationals’ Marissa Milazzo and Emily Ogle all finishing tied for the league lead.

Clinch spot in 2010 Super-Y Finals
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Northern Virginia Majestics News Release - novafc.org

August 3, 2010

With two games remaining in the 2010 Super Y-League South Atlantic regular season, the U14 Northern Virginia Majestics guaranteed themselves a return trip to Tampa following a 2-0 defeat of instate rival Richmond Kickers. The young Majestics return to the North American Finals after going undefeated at the tournament a year ago to claim the Super Y-League continental title at the U13 age group.

The U14 Majestics claimed an automatic spot into the United Soccer Leagues Youth North American Finals following two winning results this week, knocking off Fredericksburg 3-0 on Tuesday evening before beating the Kickers on the following afternoon. With two berths awarded to the U14 South Atlantic Division, the wins guaranteed the Majestics a first or second place finish in the grouping.

Northern Virginia currently remains in a tie with Richmond for first place atop the division in points, however the upstart Majestics hold both a head-to-head advantage and a game in-hand over the Kickers. The Majestics also hold a healthy plus 32 goal differential advantage in the division, assuring them the top seed with a win in either of their two remaining games.

With games still remaining against Triangle FC and NOVA FC, the Majestics have only given up a single goal for the 2010 season so far. In 2009, the Majestics gave up only two goals on the year, one during the regular season and one in the 3-1 North American Finals championship match victory against Rage SC.

Several other Northern Virginia youth teams are within reach of qualifying in their respective age groups over the next week of play. On the boy’s side, the U14 Royals have nearly clinched while the U15 and U16 Royals each are closing in on championship spots. The U16 NOVA FC boys also remain in contention for one of two championship bids in that age group. The U15 Majestics could earn the trip to Tampa with a Wednesday win over Triangle this week and the U16 Majestics remain alive on the girl’s side.

The USL did not field a South Atlantic Division in the U17 age groups for boys or girls in 2010.

The USL North American Finals will be held in Tampa, Florida, and is scheduled to run from November 19th through November 22nd. A total of sixteen teams will clash at every age level in the boys Super Y-League’s U13-U17 divisions. On the girls side, twelve teams will meet from each of the five age divisions. The 2010 version of the Super Y-League finals is the greatest representative of elite youth talent in North America now that the league encompasses nine regions across the United States and Canada.

Northern Virginia Football Club is comprised of the Northern Virginia Royals (male), Northern Virginia Majestics (female), and NOVA FC USL teams. The club was represented by both thirty-three players in SYL ODP Camp pool and nine teams in the 2009 North American Finals. Northern Virginia FC was named the number one Super Y-League club in North America in 2010, a ranking system that combines team performance, division championships, and club operations.

U13 Majestics Claim the 2009 North American Super-Y League (SYL) Title

2009-12-08T09:01:00.002-05:00

From novasc.org

The U13 Majestics Super Y League team made up of the players from the NVSC Jr. Majestics 95 Gold travel team swept the competition and clenched the Super Y-League (SYL) North American Championship title at Ed Radice Soccer Complex in Tampa, Florida.

The U13 Majestics capped a perfect (12-0-0) 2009 Super Y league season with 35 goals for and just 1 goal against. The team’s record captured the South East Region and classified the Northern Virginia Majestics as the top seed going into the North American Championship Tournament.

The 2009 season centered on a well balanced team starting with a “Solid Wall” Defense (Goalie- Arianna Reichardt, Defensive Backs- Brianna Aldo, Olivia DuPont, Jordan Kestel, Bertha Martinez and Siobahn O’Toole), a “Controlling” Mid-Field (Maggie Chapman, Jessica Leonard, Ashley Skertic and Cassidy Rowell) and “Fast & Furious” Forwards (Jewel Christian, Dixie Johnson, Annah Lindberg and Thyla Peterson).

The U13 Majestics took their “shut them down and attack” formula into the North American National Super Y League Tournament and out classed their competition. Through teamwork and communication, they shut out their preliminary competition (3-0-0) with 8 goals for and 0 against. The Defensive Wall frustrated their opponents’ scoreless advances allowing the Midfielders to press the ball goal-ward to the “ever attacking” and focused Forwards. The team extended this formula into the semi-finals defeating Coastal FC (3–0).

The Championship game against Rage SC started quickly with the defense and midfielders controlling the ball and generating an early strike by Jewel Christian. The Defense kept the Rage out of their goal box for most of the game and a pair of goals from Annah Lindberg proved enough to capture the 2009 North American Championship (3-1). Lindberg’s efforts won her the SYL Tournament MVP. Coach Chris Jones, his first national title, praised the team's efforts, "Their teamwork and motivation lead to a classy tournament win."

The four-day tournament featured the top SYL clubs in the United States and Canada. The North American tournament title capped a perfect 17-0-0 season for Northern Virginia in the squad’s first SYL season.

Super-Y enhances the year round development of NVSC players and provides the opportunity to play Top Rated Nationally ranked teams. Teams train and compete over the summer season for the North American Finals held in November.

West Pines also had goalkeeper, Jennifer Ocampo named to the All-Tournament squad.

A deep squad, the Majestics got eight goals and two assists from Annah Lindberg and Christian Jewel. But it was Maggie Chapman, who handed out six assists during the tournament that caught the eye of the scouts. She earned a vote in each match she played, with the exception of the semifinal. In that match, Lindberg stood out by netting a goal and an assist in a 3-0 win over Coastal WFC. The second Majestic’s player voted to the All-Tournament Team was defender Jordan Kestel, who earned a vote in both the semifinal and championship matches.

By Staff (from InsideNoVa.com)

TAMPA – Annah Lindberg was named the Super Y League championship most valuable player on Tuesday after leading the U13 Northern Virginia Majestics to the North American Championship.
Lindberg scored two goals in the Majestics’ 3-1 victory over the Pennsylvania Rage, while Jewel Christian also tallied a goal.

The championship performance capped a 17-0-0 season for the Majestics in their first Super Y season.

It is the third national title for the Majestics program, following titles by the U18 squad in 2001 and the U19 team in 2005.

A cross from Ashley Skertic set up Christian’s goal to give Northern Virginia the early lead. Fif-teen minutes later, Maggie Chapman sent a corner kick into the Rage penalty area, setting up the first goal from Lindberg and a 2-0 halftime advantage.

On the final goal, Chapman sent a pass into the left corner of the box on a crisp pass along the ground. Lindberg collected the ball in full stride a rocketed her shot untouched into the Rage goal.
The Majestics were one of four unbeaten teams in the U13 girls bracket.

They posted the lone perfect 3-0-0 record in group play, including a 2-0 result against the previously undefeated Kings Soccer Academy (Cincinnati). After topping Coquitlam SC (British Columbia) 4-0 on the second day of play, Northern Virginia won a hard fought 2-0 result over the Washington Freedom to ad-vance into the semifinals.

The Majestics finished group play without giving up a goal and continued their tournament shutout downing Coastal WFC 3-0 in the semifinal match.

“After seeing a large amount of talent at all age groups throughout the weekend, I think the best term to describe our U13s is poise,” said club general manager Tim Schweitzer. “This special group of young ladies plays a very stylish and creative game, never appearing hurried or rattled.

“They are highly entertaining and truly a pleasure to watch.”

Northern Virginia Majestics News Release - www.novafc.org

Tuesday, November 24, 2009

TAMPA, FL -- The U13G Northern Virginia Majestics surged past Rage SC 3-1 to lay claim to the Super Y-League (SYL) North American Championship title yesterday at Ed Radice Soccer Complex in Tampa, Florida. An early strike by Majestic Jewel Christian and a pair of goals from teammate Annah Lindberg proved enough to triumph over the Rage (Pennsylvania) in the hard-fought final match.

Lindberg was named SYL Tournament MVP for her efforts throughout the four-day tournament featuring the top SYL clubs in the United States and Canada.

The North American tournament title capped a perfect 17-0-0 season for Northern Virginia in the squad’s first SYL season.

The U13 victory marks the third SYL North American Championship title brought home by the Majestics. Northern Virginia previously won the U18 SYL National Championship in 2001 and U19 SYL Continental Championship in 2005.

Northern Virginia set the tempo early, driving quickly into the Rage defensive third in the opening moments of the match. A cross from Majestic Ashley Skertic set up a blast from Christian into the goal for the 1-0 Northern Virginia lead. Fifteen minutes later, Maggie Chapman sent a driven corner kick into the Rage penalty area, setting up the first goal from Lindberg and a 2-0 half-time advantage.

The Rage fell victim to the Chapman-Lindberg combination again in the second half. Midfielder Chapman fed the streaking Lindberg into the left corner of the box on a crisp pass along the ground. Lindberg collected the ball in full stride a rocketed her shot untouched into the Rage goal to cap the Majestic scoring on the day.

The Rage fought hard in the waning minutes and were rewarded for their efforts when Emily Diehl’s shot found the back of the Majestic net for only the second time in the entire 2009 season.

The Majestics were one of four unbeaten teams in the U13 Girls bracket. They posted the lone perfect 3-0-0 record in group play, including a 2-0 result against the previously undefeated Kings Soccer Academy (Cincinnati). After topping Coquitlam SC (British Columbia) 4-0 on the second day of play, Northern Virginia won a hard fought 2-0 result over the Washington Freedom to advance into the semifinals.

The upstart Majestics finished group play without giving up a goal and continued their tournament shutout downing Coastal WFC 3-0 in the semifinal match.

“After seeing a large amount of talent at all age groups throughout the weekend, I think the best term to describe our U13s is poise,” commented club General Manager Tim Schweitzer. “This special group of young ladies plays a very stylish and creative game, never appearing hurried or rattled.”

“They are highly entertaining and truly a pleasure to watch,” concluded Schweitzer.
Northern Virginia Football Club, comprised of the Northern Virginia Royals (male), Northern Virginia Majestics (female), and NOVA FC (male and female) USL teams, was represented by the a club record of nine teams in the 2009 North American Finals as well as thirty-three players in the 2009 SYL ODP Camp pool.

NOVA's U13s Clinch Finals Berth

2009-07-31T13:33:00.000-04:00

NOVA FC Boys and Majestics Qualify, Royals closing in
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Northern Virginia Press Release - www.novafc.org

July 25, 2009

WOODBRIDGE, VA – With three weeks remaining in the 2009 Super Y-League South Atlantic regular season, Northern Virginia has asserted its dominance within the division at the U13 level. The U13 NOVA FC Boys and U13 Majestics teams both claimed automatic berths into the United Soccer Leagues Youth North American Finals following results against the Richmond Kickers on Friday. The U13 Royals also remain in tight contention for the last remaining South Atlantic spot in the championship tournament, as they currently hold second place in the division.

On the girl’s side of the brackets, the South Atlantic division promised tough competition, as only the first place team would earn the single assigned berth into the North American Finals. With only one of seven teams qualifying for the championships, the U13 Majestics have rocketed to a season record of 10-0-0 so far to lock down their division, scoring 31 goals while not allowing any against them. The Florida-bound Majestics cruised by Richmond 3-0 Friday, mathematically eliminating the other six South Atlantic teams in contention for the divisional title.

The U13 NOVA FC Boys (8-1-0) hold the divisional lead by three points with three games remaining, assuring them one of two South Atlantic divisional berths to the championships. If the upstart NOVA Boys were to not to earn another point over the next two weeks of their season, the only team that could overtake them would be the U13 Royals. NOVA FC solidified their bid in the finals with three wins in three days on a lengthy road trip to Georgia. The U13 NOVA Boys defeated the Atlanta Silverbacks, Alpharetta United, and the Atlanta Fire, scoring 17 goals while allowing only 2 over the weekend.

The U13 Royals (6-1-3) have two games remaining and maintain a tight lead over Alpharetta United and the Richmond Kickers for the last finals spot. Still controlling their own destiny, the young Royals can cinch up their trip to Tampa with a win and a tie in their final matches.

Several other Northern Virginia youth teams are on the verge of qualifying in their respective age groups. On the boy’s side, the U14 and U15 Royals are each one win away from winning their groups while the U16 and U17 Royals each are closing in on championship crowns. The U14 and U16 Majestics are both locked in multiple-team races for first place in their respective divisions on the girl’s side.

The USL North American Finals will be held in Tampa, Florida, and is scheduled to run from November 19th through November 22nd. A total of sixteen teams will clash at every age level in the boys Super Y-League’s U13-U17 divisions. On the girls side, twelve teams will meet from each of the five age divisions. The 2009 version of the Super Y-League finals is the greatest representative of elite youth talent in North America now that the league encompasses nine regions across the United States and Canada.

Northern Virginia Y-League Successful at Midseason

2009-07-16T18:02:00.000-04:00

Royals, Majestics, and NOVA FC Youth Remain Strong in South Atlantic
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Northern Virginia Royals, Northern Virginia Majestics, and NOVA FC Super Y-League teams reached the midpoint of the 2009 season with teams in either first or second in most age groups. Together, the club combined for eighteen wins, four ties, and thirteen losses the previous weekend of play against Alpharetta United, Atlanta Silverbacks, and Richmond Kickers USL teams.

The Royals and Majestics Super Y-League teams were extraordinarily successful against the Atlanta Silverbacks boys and girls teams, posting an 8-0 record on the day. Northern Virginia scored a combined total of 32 goals and did not allow Atlanta a single mark on the scoreboard, completely shutting out the visiting Silverbacks.

Alpharetta United proved a much more difficult challenge, as results were mixed across the age groups. Northern Virginia finished essentially even with Alpharetta at four wins, four losses, and three ties. United gave the U16 Royals their first loss of the season, a 3-0 result that highlighted some very strong Alpharetta forwards.

The U13 Majestics scored 10 goals in two victories over their Georgia opponents. Annah Lindberg scored all of the Majestics goals in the 4-0 win over Alpharetta and goalkeeper Arriana Reichhardt kept the Majestics slate clean, not allowing a single goal over the weekend. However, the Majestics were given a run for their money four days later by their sister team, just barely edging the U13 NOVA FC girls 1-0.

The U14 Majestics were equally triumphant, boasting a 4-1 and 5-0 pair of wins to remain atop the South Atlantic Group B bracket.

Both the U13 and U14 Majestics remain undefeated on the season.

The U16 NOVA FC Boys team shut out the Richmond kickers on Saturday, June 27, posting a dramatic 2-0 result. Tied 0-0 at the half, NOVA FC wasted little time exerting their desire to come out on top by rattling off two unanswered goals early in the second half. Combined with relentless defensive pressure throughout the game, NOVA FC brought home their first win of the season.

The Royals are currently dominant on the boys side of the South Atlantic standings, occupying the first place slot on each division and/or group table. In the U13 South Atlantic bracket, the U13 NOVA FC boys remain only a single point behind the Royals. The U17 Royals share the first place with Alpharetta United following a scoreless draw against each other last week.

Northern Virginia Football Club is comprised of the Northern Virginia Royals (male), Northern Virginia Majestics (female), and NOVA FC USL teams. The club was represented by both thirty-two players in SYL ODP Camp pool and five teams in the 2008 North American Finals. Nineteen players from the Royals and thirteen players from the Majestics Super Y-League programs comprise Northern Virginia’s 2008 representation.

2009 features the launch of the NOVA FC Super Y-League program, effectively doubling the number of youth player opportunities in the region.

Northern Virginia Super Y-League teams return to action as they travel to Georgia next weekend. The teams will face the Atlanta Fire as well as rematches against Alpharetta and the Silverbacks on their home turf.

Northern Virginia FC Ranked Fifth Best North American ClubRoyals and Majestics Y-League Jump in 2008 Rankings

2009-05-20T16:08:00.002-04:00

Taken from USLSoccer.com

United Soccer Leagues announced today the preliminary Super Y-League First and Second 11 Club rankings for the 2008 season, recognizing the league’s top competitive and administrative clubs. Northern Virginia FC surged upwards on the First 11 Club ranking, nabbing the Royals and Majestics program the fifth best Super Y-League club in North America.

The release of the list precedes the 10th Annual Super Y-League North American Finals, where all but five of the 37 clubs in the rankings will be competing for 10 championships that are up-for-grabs beginning Friday, November 21. The clubs will also be recognized during USL’s Annual General Meeting, the second half of USL’s SoccerFest, which is held in conjunction with the North American Finals in downtown Tampa.

Northern Virginia Football Club, comprised of both the Northern Virginia Royals (male) and Northern Virginia Majestics (female) USL teams, is represented by the club record of both thirty-two players in SYL ODP Camp pool and five teams in the 2008 North American Finals. Nineteen players from the Royals and thirteen players from the Majestics Super Y-League programs comprise Northern Virginia’s representation.

Northern Virginia FC previously earned the number ten spot on the 2007 First 11 Club rankings released in last October. The U14 Royals, U17 Royals, U16 Royals, and U16 Majestics had all previously qualified for the chance at a North American title to garner last year’s honors.
The Super Y-League launched the First and Second 11 Ranking System in 2005 with the top clubs ranked from 1-22 in three categories: overall, boys and girls. The extensive growth of the USL Super-20 League in the past three seasons has led to the inclusion of the under-20 league in the ranking process. The rankings are based primarily upon the on-field results. Winning percentage accounts for 70 percent of the score while minimum standards and operations complete the other 30 percent.

“The criteria used to rank these clubs is basic yet essential to the Super Y-League’s philosophy of providing a professionalized atmosphere for the top youth players in North America,” said USL Senior Director of Youth League Development, Jeff McRaney. “United Soccer Leagues wanted a way to salute those clubs who consistently succeed not only on the field but off the field as well.”

Depending on the quality of each tryout group 16 - 24 players will be selected. The players will compete for the 18-player roster that will be selected for each game day. We pick these numbers to fill the most competitive 18-man roster and still allow our players to take some time off during the summer months for vacations.

What is the commitment?
Training will start at the end of May and continue through the first week in August. Ideally, practices will be at least twice a week but based upon age of team and League schedule will be at the discretion of the coach.

What if they have a conflict with their club team?
We are not meant to compete with the club teams, but rather be a complement to them. In the case of a conflict, the player will be encouraged to go to their respective club’s activity; however, the final decision lies with the player and parent.

Where will the teams train and play home games?
Both training and home games will primarily take place in Prince William County; however, other facilities and fields may be used as necessary.

Who will coach and train the teams?
Northern Virginia Soccer will choose high level coaches from throughout the region and players will be trained by guest trainers during the season.

What uniforms will the Super Y-League teams use?
Super Y-League uniforms are included in the player’s fees. Each player will receive a uniform kit from Adidas - the official uniform supplier of the Royals (Super 20, Men’s PDL and Division 2) and Majestics( Super 20 and W-league teams)

How much is the Super Y-League fee?
The total fee per player is as follows: $775.00 + $25.00 tryout registration fee.

This $775.00 fee includes:
• Coach Fee
• Trainer Fee
• Player Travel (Ground Transportation and Hotel)

Team Philosophy

2008-04-18T07:54:00.003-04:00

Team Philosophy
- The Jr. Majestics Gold ’95 Play Hard, Play Smart & Have Fun! Our focus is on creating players who love to play hard and by the rules. We are working to create players who want to play the game for the rest of their lives—for the “love of the game!”
Team Values
- Our team values include respecting and supporting each other on and off the field. We encourage a team attitude through which each player understands that they need their teammates in order to be successful. This includes an uncompromising dedication to sportsmanship and respect for the game and all of those involved (teammates, opposition, referees, coaches, parents).
- We strive to create an environment through which each teammate can bring their creativity to the pitch creating a beautiful collage of talented, skilled players, who play together to succeed.
Team Goals
- The goals of the Jr. Majestics Gold ’95 team include working to play a possession-type game where direct play is used as the game demands. We want each player to be a decision maker and our players to feel empowered. Empowerment gives the players the ability to make decisions as the game demands to create successful team play.
- Our hope is the Jr. Majestics Gold players will be able to self-adjust to any situation based on their knowledge of the game! Our playing principles include keeping the ball moving with a simple 1 or 2 touch passing scheme. We focus on playing the game with a beautiful rhythm, which is fun to watch and has been remarkably successful.

Interested in being part of the Jr. Majestics Gold ’95 team? Please keep in touch regarding upcoming try-outs.
