|April 2006| WSA Sends 9 Squads to President's Cup WSA will be well represented this weekend at Oklahoma's third annual State President's Cup (formerly the Director's Cup). While a repeat of last year's performance, when two champions were crowned, and six teams advanced to finals weekend, may seem unlikely, teams are hoping they come into top form by this weekend. Teams competing include the 94 girls, 94 boys, 93 girls, 93 boys, 92 boys, 91 boys, 90 boys, 89 girls, and 88 boys. [4/28/06] Four WSA teams will find themselves on the current GOTSOCCER.COM ranking board this week. The following teams are ranked in the top ten in the state of Oklahoma based on tournament points accumulated in 2005-2006: WSA 88 boys # 3 Regional ranking # 56
WSA 89 girls # 4 Regional ranking # 43
WSA 94 girls # 6 Regional ranking # 46
WSA 92 boys # 9 Regional ranking n/a

Only two WSA squads participated in Thunder Cup this year,
but both squads represented the West Side Alliance Soccer
Club very well. The WSA 94 girls and WSA 88 boys both
competed in the "Gold" divisions in their respective age
divisions and both teams reached the
"semifinal" stages of their tournament field which included
several top flight teams.
WSA 88 boys continued their streak of unscored on minutes from last weekend's WSA Cup by opening their tournament with 0-0 draw with host club Thunder. They then beat NOKC Padova Navy 3-0, and tied Topeka Wolves 1-1, advancing as the group champion to play nationally ranked NOKC Padova Red in the semifinals. WSA's unbeaten run came to an end as they dropped the match by a respectable scoreline, 2-0, to the 6 time Oklahoma State Champions. NOKC Padova Red went on to beat Hurricane 88 3-0 to win the tournament.
The WSA 94 girls proved they belonged in the "Gold" division
of the Thunder Cup as they drew their first match with TSC
94 2-2, beat Wichita Attack 3-1, then lost a physical battle
to NOKC United 3-1 to round out their first round. The team
finished 3rd of the 8 teams in the Gold division on points.
Congratulations to the young men and the young ladies of
both WSA teams!

The first annual Dutch 4 v 4 event was played in
uncharacteristic chilly temperatures with some occasional
drizzle, but that didn't keep over 60 young participants
from having a great time in the inaugural event on Friday
evening, April 7th.
The tournament included 8 matches of 10 minutes in length
played in a 4 v 4 format. The catch was that at the end of
each match players were reassigned teams by random
draw. It may have been as much won watching the kids play
as run quickly to their "assignment board" and find their
next field assignment. The only rules were that there was
no coaching and players were requested to "have fun" while
playing. A practical and certainly not novel concept that
seemed to work magnificently on this night.
Players received individual points based on the
following: 10 points every time they were on a winning team,
5 points every time they were on a tying team, one point for
every goal a team they were on scored. In the end champions
were crowned in the following age divisions:
