More than 500 players and family members showed up for the third annual Mac Ban TSA Kickoff Breakfast. It turned out to be a great day for the organization and participants.
"The Kick Off Breakfast was a stunning success,’’ said Dave Cosgrove. "No other club, I know of, runs anything close to the production of the TSA Kick Off Breakfast. Lisa Fraser and her committee set a precedent and standard that all of TSA continues throughout the year. This is one main reason that separates TSA from any other club in Southern Arizona currently or in the past.
"Every TSA coach, player and parent should take great pride and honor from being involved in such a great event.’’
TSA wants to thank McDonalds for its sponsorship in the highly successful Tucson Soccer Clinic held at Salpointe Catholic in July. “Everyone had a great time and it was a great event,’’ said Wolfgang Weber. “We had more than 200 participants and a number of coaches from TSA. It’s a relationship that we hope continues because we think it’s a good, joint venture. There are more than 50 McDonald’s in southern Arizona and we want to thank them all.’’
The clinic – for kids 8 to 12 years old – was free to participants because of McDonalds generous sponsorship. What a great partner to have in the TSA family. And good to see the local owners see the value in sports, exercise and good nutrition. Thank you!
Smile! We are because we have Dr. Grob as a TSA sponsor. He’s been there for us and many of our TSA players are his clients. Here’s a group shot of some of his patients.
"We’d like to thank Dr. Grobb for his gracious contributions to TSA scholarship event for the past three years,’’ said TSA Breakfast organizer Lisa Fraser. "Many of our players have beautiful smiles due to Dr. Grob. A big thanks goes out to Dr. Grob from TSA!’’
98 Boys to host 3v3; 93 girls have Flamingos on mind
Fundraisers start as the season begins. Help support teams as they try to gain money to help support their teams. There will be a variety of ways to help. Read on!
What a season for the 97 Boys Red team! Out of nowhere these kids came through and prevailed to win the state title. “I had hoped they would be competitive,’’ said coach Jeff Rogers. “Whenever you put together two teams you never know what you’re going to get from a chemistry standpoint. We were hoping to be competitive and by the end of the season we’d see some potential.’’
What they ended up seeing was a state champion! Congrats and now on to Albuquerque for the West Regionals.
In many ways, the 94 Red Girls typify what the TSA is all about. The core has played together since they were 10 years old. Through the years a number of new girls have joined the team not only adding to the competitiveness of the team but also the togetherness and team spirit. They finished second in state; a great accomplishment.The 94’s have focused each year on gradual and consistent skill development followed later by defensive and offensive strategies and game plans, under coaches Charlie Kendrick, Juan Pena, Mark Francis & Whitney Moore.
Cosgrove’s 95 Girls Red finished second in the state cup with both losses coming to the titlist. The 95 Girls showed a gritty and gutty effort in each and every game. Courageous efforts every game and the scores tell the story. TSA lost in OT in one game and 1-0 in the other.
“This team is only now beginning to realize how good they can be,’’ Cosgrove said. “The 95 Girls will be one of the TSA teams to watch in the future.’’
