Success in National Premier, Western College Development Assn.
Dec. 23, 2011
.jpg) When it was announced that Diablo FC had entered
its teams in two new high-caliber programs this
year there was probably some trepidation as to
how the teams would fare. According to
Director of Coaching Brian Voltattorni the
verdict is in and it’s “two thumbs up” for the
local competitive soccer club.
Four
Diablo FC teams won their divisions in the
Regional Academy League run by
NorCal Premier, the
US Club Soccer program in Northern
California, while the Diablo FC boys teams in
Western College Development Association have
been in the top ranks all season. Moving forward
RAL is embracing its affiliation with USCS with
its top league being renamed
National Premier Leagues, which has
affiliated top clubs and leagues from all over
the United States. Diablo FC was one of
only three clubs in Northern California to have
all 10 of its U14-U18 boys and girls teams in
RAL Premier.
The under 16 and U17
boys and girls teams from Diablo each claimed
RAL championships this fall. The
U16 boys Diablo FC 95, who are currently
ranked as the #2 team in America, won its
RAL flight with an 8-2 record. The older
U17 Diablo FC 94 boys also topped RAL
standings with a 7-1-2 mark and are 21st in
