The 2007 Girls Premier team kicked off NorCal’s Return to Play Event 1 with their first game against Davis 07 Red ECNL resulting in a 2-0 victory. The girls have been training hard during the pandemic under the direction of coach Scott Franzen and coach Ray Sardo. The team was formed in the inaugural season of the Folsom Lake Earthquakes as a U11 team. Each year, the team has continued to pick up talented players, culminating in a NorCal Premier 3 State Cup win last year and as champions in the NorCal Premier division winter league, just prior to the pandemic shutting down competition for NorCal spring league.

The team added four new players this season and are hoping to continue their success in 2021. The girls traveled to Arizona last October to compete in the Royal Cup and went undefeated in all three games with three clean sheets. Not a bad start for their first games together.

Currently, there are four players selected for the Olympic Development Program, and six players attended the Surf Select Western Region ID camp, resulting in two players making the National Surf Select roster.

The team has been committed and consistent during the pandemic with hours upon hours spent at in person practices, private training, Zoom sessions, clinics, watching professional games and weekly strength training sessions. They are excited to be competing on the pitch again. We can’t wait to see them continue their success!
