The Board of Directors is pleased to award several scholarships to graduating seniors who will attend college in the fall. This year we had two candidates for academic awards whose GPAs in their junior and senior years were quite exceptional. Laura Yoshida (Foothill) was our first place winner, followed closely by Austyn Byassee (Granada). Both achieved well over 4.0 GPAs for their final two years and both were in the top ten percent of their classes. Laura has played for RAGE for thirteen years. She will attend UC Davis, with a major in psychology and an interest in becoming a pediatrician. Austyn will attend Lewis and Clark in Orgon where she will study sciences as a pre-med. She also will be playing varsity soccer for the college.

Coach Tim Gray nominated Sarah Ramirez for our Sportsmanship Scholarship, saying.
Sarah is an excellent role model for the younger RAGE players. She is a dedicated player who always shows up to mandatory and optional training sessions. She offers encouragement to her teammates and instills confidence in others. She will always greet you with a smile and a positive attitude. She has volunteered her time to coach two RAGE teams as well as helping out the technical staff at various sessions. She holds a CYSA – F license. Sarah will attend the University of Portland where she will study biology.

Best wishes to these outstanding students and members of the community. And best wishes to all our graduating seniors wherever their futures may take them.

In the Olympic Development Program (ODP), every player starts at the bottom. I was no exception. Now, being a Regional goalie trying out for the U-15 National Team, I look back and realize how hard I worked to get where I am today. The three keys to success that helped me through my journey were perseverance, flexibility and a strong work ethic. Any of you trying out for ODP need to know this: It's all about mental toughness. That's what it all comes down to. You could be the most skilled player in the world, but if you aren’t mentally tough, and don’t have that drive to get better and to a higher level, you won’t progress as a player - not just with ODP, but with your club team as well. -- read full article --

As an accomplished group of young women, I am happy to personally invite you all to join me this summer in my passion to inspire leaders at the Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy (JFSLA).  I love to direct my heart and energy into mentoring players on what it takes to be a leader on the field AND a leader in life.  As we like to teach at the Academy, leadership is personal, not positional! You do not need a gold medal or a captain’s armband to make a difference in this world. Great leadership is within us all, and it comes from the passion, energy, and personality you already possess. We believe each and every girl can be a leader with the right skill set, mentoring, and empowerment. At the JFSLA, we use soccer as the vehicle to teach these leadership skills.
