After a successful season playing against older select players one would think that the Barça players would want a long rest. Not likely!
While one player will be taking his winning spirit to another off season sport (Paul Serres - baseball) another will continue with his important rehab of his knee (Anthony McKave) and another will take a much needed rest (Matteo Gallaccio) most of the Barça players want to continue that winning feeling by tackling opportunities that range from European ambitions to regional dominance with the possibility of conquering the continent.
Kyle Jones, Marcello Polisi and new comer Ross Merton are heading out of the country to test themselves against international opposition. Jones will travel with his Roman Tulis European Soccer School team and play in two of the biggest youth tournament in the world in Denmark (Dana Cup) and Sweden (Gothia World Youth Cup) while Polisi and Merton will be traveling with their Vancouver Whitecaps team to San Diego and test themselves against some of the best youth teams in the US. Polisi will also travel to Toronto with his Canada West Danone Team to play the East representatives to see who will represent Canada at the Danone World Cup in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
First year Barça players, Alex Skrzeta, Hugo Vieira, and Luke Griffin, will join Giordano Baldonero, James Lynn, Anthony Martin, Michael Mobilio, Jones, Rashaun Rivers, and captain Trevor Hallam as they will represent the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club as the club embarks on their first year in the USL Super Y-League. Having talented players with winning experiences should be huge assets to the Y-League team.
CMFSC plays in the Pacific Northwest division against other Y-League teams from the Lower Mainland, BC Interior and Vancouver Island. The Y-League is an American league where league champions play in the USL Super Y-League North American Championship in Florida in November.
The Barça winning spirit and experience will come in handy in all their endeavors.
Best of luck. Do your best!
