RAGE & HERS Limited Sweaty Bands
Hello RAGE Players, Families and Members,
Thank you all for the continued interest in and orders for the custom Sweaty Bands available in our “PleasantonRAGE” Etsy store. While have sold out of the RAGE/HERS band in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month, we do have RAGE club only bands still available. Additionally, while our first scheduled pickup this past Monday 10/18 at Bernal Sports Park saw many stop by, we still have several outstanding orders we’d like to “deliver” to our wonderful club members. So, let’s schedule pickup day #2 for this upcoming Monday 10/25 at Bernal Sports Park (formerly Patelco) between 7-8:30 pm. For those that will struggle to make this time work, please open your order within Etsy and “message” us directly from within. From there, we’ll effort to work out an alternate plan! That said, please do try to pop by Bernal for pickup this upcoming Monday, as it should only take a minute or two. This includes any that would like to buy real-time at Bernal. Again, all transactions are through our Etsy store (no cash, no checks, no venmo, etc) so you’ll need to have the app set up to buy, with your order notification to us being immediate, so we’ll just hand it to you! (A few of you did this last Monday and the complete transaction took only a few seconds!)
As always, thanks again for your tremendous support and interest in both the RAGE/HERS and RAGE club Sweaty Bands. See you next Monday 10/25 from 7-8:30pm at Bernal fields for pickup #2!
Thanks, RAGE
2011 RAGE Premier
The 2011 Rage Premier team took home Gold in the Stanford Classic Tournament, winning in penalty kicks. Every player contributed. The girls combined for 18 regulation time goals, scored by 9 different players. The performance by the goalkeepers was outstanding, posting three shutouts and allowing only one goal against in the 4 tournament games. What a fantastic start to the 2021 fall season!

Each year, Pleasanton RAGE Girls Soccer Club recognizes and rewards scholar-athletes who demonstrate RAGE excellence in academic achievement and service to the community. Two $1,500.00 scholarships for college are awarded to high school seniors who plan to attend a 4-year or 2-year college, or a vocational or art school, and have a cumulative GPA of 3.8 or higher. Applicants are considered based on the following criteria: academic achievement; commitment to volunteerism/service; and a number of years playing for RAGE. In addition, an essay is submitted defining one of the RAGE core values and explaining how the value is learned while playing soccer and serving the community.
Congratulations to this year’s recipients!
Isabel Duenas
Isabel has played soccer for Pleasanton RAGE for 5 years, most currently as a member of the Competitive Program on the 2003 Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) Composite team.
A senior at Castro Valley High School, Isabel has a GPA of 4.23 and is undecided as to where she will attend college although her first choice is University of California, Santa Barbara. She plans on majoring in Biology.
To date, Isabel’s academic honors and accomplishments include the Castro Valley Honor Roll Society; Latino Achievement Award; Experience Berkeley Program Participant; Society of Women’s Engineering Club Member; Castro Valley Varsity Athletic Award (GPA); North Coast Section (NCS), CIF President’s List for Varsity Soccer & Scholastic Championship Team.
Equally important and inspiring is Isabel’s long list of community service, specifically her involvement in the following: Interact Club, earning recognition for many hours serving as a volunteer at food banks & festivals, and providing childcare for young children & support for senior citizens; Castro Valley Today Internship for which she created web pages for local businesses to help promote themselves during COVID-19; CV Tutors; Transfiguration Church Youth Group; Summer Volunteer at the Oakland Zoo, and the California Academy of Sciences where she was honored by the museum director for creating and performing a visual project presentation.
Isabel chose the RAGE core value “Greatness” for her essay topic. She says that “we can all play a part in improving and helping our community through communication and collaboration,” and she is “thankful to RAGE for teaching me valuable lessons on greatness and the value of community.” Isabel will carry these lessons with her to college, and will always have the RAGE core values as inspiration to continue helping her community.
Hayden Jolley
Hayden has played soccer for Pleasanton RAGE for 13 years, most currently as a member of the Competitive Program on the 2003 Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) team.

In her role, Hayden traveled to Coronel Bogado and spent time with the girls there, giving them the inspiration to become leaders in their own community.
Hayden chose the RAGE core value “Greatness” for her essay topic.
