The 2010 Season Begins
Breakaway comes into the 2010 season with some new faces. With an injury plagued roster the second half of the 2009 season the coaching staff decided to look for some fresh talent. These players have been looking for a place where they can be pushed to the next level of their young soccer careers and they have decided that Breakaway is the team that can get them there. Not only do these new players give Breakaway a deeper roster but they are bringing some great abilities and promise to this accomplished team.
The Spring season for Breakaway is starting in early March where the team will be traveling to Vegas for the Showcase event. Here the players will be exposed to college coaches from all over the United States. Breakaways Independence Tour has turned the heads of many coaches already, creating quite a buzz going into the 2010 showcase season. Coach Matt Baker said " Creating an environment where these talented players can be seen is one of the reasons Breakaway was started. It is our job to make sure these girls get the looks they deserve and we will always put them in the right places to be seen".
Next is the FWRL where Breakaway will be attempting to gain early acceptance into the Regional tournament held in late June. Although the team has new players they have been working hard to be ready for the FWRL training several days a week. Whether or not Breakaway wins the FWRL ending in early April, they soon after will be competing in the best tournament of the year which is the Cal South National Cup where they have been in the championship game for the last two years. Winning this tournament is something that every team wants to do and the Breakaway staff will make sure they are ready by putting the players through a rigorous training regiment, smart diet, weight lifting program, and tons of film sessions. These girls are the most prepared team every year because of the work rate they show both on and off the field. What will the 2010 season bring?
