JR Lobo leads Santos FC Academy to victory
By: Steve Tipp
The Santos FC Academy Boys, under 12 team is off to a fast start under the leadership of Brazilian soccer coach JR Lobo. The team, composed of silver to gold level players from various clubs, joined the California Stars Soccer Club in March. The new team started off entering three venues this spring. First, CSL’s Spring League, where they finished in first place in the Western Division. Next, they entered the CSL Spring Cup, walking away with the cup after finishing number one. Finally, over Memorial Day weekend, they entered Conejo Valley United’s Tournament of Champions, where they swept the series with three straight wins, scoring 10 goals and giving up 0, and once again winning first place honors.
The team practices every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30 at Oak View High School in Oak Park, and holds clinics on Wednesdays and Fridays from 5:00 to 7:00. Players of all levels are welcome. Coach JR is looking for one more experienced player to round out the team. They will be playing BU13 in the CSL Silver North division this fall. For more information on trying out, or practices and clinics, call Coach JR at 818-599-9158.
