 | | | U17 girls Photos provided | | | | | | Three local youth soccer teams are traveling to Boise Idaho this month June 20 to-26 to represent Northern California at the 2016 Far West Regional Soccer Championships.
The Lamorinda Soccer club U15 Boys, U15 Girls, and U17 Girls will compete against teams from Alaska, Arizona, Southern California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
The U15 boys also won the Northern California Premier State Cup last month in Sacramento, while the U17 and U18 girls also competed in the prestigious tournament final.
Two young Lamorinda players have been called up to the U.S. National Team. Cecilia Gee was invited to Spain this past February to play with the National U18 team. Three undefeated games later against Denmark, England, and Norway, she's back at Lamorinda preparing for the Far West Nationals, and awaiting the national team's next call. Teammate Caroline Clark has also been called up and participated in the elite US National Training Camp. Both young women have also committed to Stanford University which reached out to them after seeing their exploits on the soccer pitch.
