The California Magic 06 Boys soccer team showed their "magic" at the Ballastic United Soccer Club's Summer Classic Tournament Aug. 11-12. They started off strong in the first game and won all three preliminary round games while outscoring their opponents 18-8. The boys delivered strong technical passing and never fell behind. The team demonstrated great poise under pressure and executed an overall outstanding team approach. In the championship game, they won 4-1. Goals were scored by four different players. It was a very balanced approach ... a great team win! "It's been an amazing journey and I'm glad our team could enjoy the tournament, all the hard work and years of time invested. I am very proud of them; everyone contributed and added value, they played for each other and carried themselves like gentlemen on and off the pitch," stated coach David Landeros.
