January Schedule

We are ready to begin our year in 2010 and I just wanted to let everyone know that we have a standard schedule for the entire month of January. This means practices will be Monday and Wednesday from 7:00-8:30 PM in Roseville, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30-9:00 PM in Sacrament0, and Wednesdays from 7:00-8:30 PM and Saturdays from 12:00-2:30 PM in Folsom. This is the month to get in as many practices as possible to prepare for the upcoming year. For some students this means competing for the first time or building on your experience for the future and for the intermediate and advanced students this means that you will now begin your journey to state championships, junior nationals, and senior nationals. I expect big things from all of you in the next year so let's start 2010 with the right attitude and ready to work hard. The entire coaching staff will be ready to help all of you to improve every practice.

KONJO!

Merry Christmas

I wish to pass on my deepest gratitude for another successful year to all of the students, players, parents, supporters, staff, and coaches of Team Sacramento. I appreciate all of the effort put forth over the last year. Merry Christmas!

CCSF Invitational Tournament

Team Sacramento had another great day at the CCSF Invitational. Our last tournament in 2009 brought impressive results as well as strong improvements from all of our players. All of our players showed good technique and excellent movement. Special recognition to Reiko and Anton, who competed in their first tournament and looked great. Everyone has improvements that need to be made including work on gripping and counter attacks. We will have plenty of time to improve in December and January with our next tournament not slated until February. Here are the results from CCSF:

Nick Ontiveros- Second Place
Matt Ontiveros- First Place
Anton Maninang- Second Place
