This year's "Mini World Cup"
was held in Nanaimo this last May 16th & 17th weekend.
Thanks to Nanaimo for hosting this great event. By all
reports, everyone had great fun! We look forward to next
year's event to be held in Port Alberni!
Congratulations to Scott Middleton
for being selected "Coach of the Month" for
May. Scott coaches the U13/14 Boys "Rush"
Team. Going to school has not deterred Scott from taking on
the challenge of coaching soccer. While "taking his own pulse"
he keeps his eyes on the play to make sure his team is working
hard and having fun! Even if not on top, he is encouraging and
always looking to fair play. Thank you so much
Scott!

Annual General Meeting has been set for Saturday June 13th
from 3:30pm to 5:30pm at the clubhouse to be followed by a BBQ
to honour the 10th anniversary of the club's existence. AGM
agenda and documentation are now viewable on our
website. On that day, one of our directors will
be stepping down from her position after completing her term.
This will leave us with a total of three openings on the Board
of Directors to be filled by new leaders keen on contributing
to soccer in the Comox Valley. These positions
include: - V.P. of House Soccer -
V.P. of Development - V.P. of Women's

need for leadership to cultivate sponsorship for our
club. If you have any interest in these areas,
you are encouraged to contact myself, the club or any of our
directors in the coming weeks. Job descriptions for these
positions are specific and we can go over with you exactly
what is involved. It is the dedication of our membership that
enables everyone to enjoy soccer in the best way
possible. Sincerely, Matthew

Canada-USA match to be broadcast on
Rogers Sportsnet, Mon May 25
The Canadian Soccer
Association announced today that its upcoming Canada-USA
women's match in Toronto will be broadcast live on Rogers
Sportsnet. The match, which kicks off at 19.00 on Monday 25
May at BMO Field, will be shown on all four Sportsnet channels
from coast to coast. The Canucks are hosting the number-one
ranked Americans on home soil for the first time in eight
years. Our fans from coast to coast will have the
opportunity to watch our national team on Sportsnet,' said
coach Carolina Morace. 'It should be an excellent match and an
excellent test for our players.' Just last August at the 2008
Women's Olympic Football Tournament, Canada pushed the
eventual-Olympic champion USA into extra time in the
quarter-final stage. Christine Sinclair scored Canada's tying
goal in the 30th minute in what was one of the classic
Canada-USA contests of the year. In extra time, USA's Natasha
Kai slipped through the winning goal to send Canada packing.
With first year in
books, Concacaf Champions League expectations rise for second
season
It took only a final
0-0 draw to complete Atlante's title, delighting its fans and
capping a nine-month odyssey that was the inaugural CONCACAF
Champions League. Despite a hurricane-blown start, more than
half of a million fans came out to see the confederation's new
club championship. Atlante's 2-0 aggregate victory against
Mexican rival Cruz Azul on Tuesday at Estadio Quintana Roo
earned the Cancun club its first CONCACAF title since 1983,
but opened a new soccer era in the region. Soccer Legend Zinedine Zidane and
