Lamorinda Soccer Club forward Cecilia Gee, who successfully played at the international level in Spain earlier this year with the U.S. National Women's U18 team, and teammate Caroline Clark have been invited by Stanford University to play for the university's highly rated soccer team.

Both players have outstanding goal records and recently met with former Lamorinda players at the national team's training camp in Southern California.

All five of the players pictured above grew up playing Lamorinda's possession style of soccer, which requires players to rely heavily on their teammates during each game. The system is tightly interconnected, and the concept of stars on the field is foreign. Coaches say the legendary FC Barcelona international team is the gold standard for this way of playing.
