The West
Kendall "Tiburones" Soccer Team was founded
in 1995 with the purpose of becoming the
West Kendall U-9 Traveling Team. What
commenced from that day on was a soccer
maturing process that would lead us to what
we are today. Through the years we have seen
these youngsters grow and develop themselves
into tremendously talented young men with an
exquisite feel for the soccer ball and great
love and respect for the game. At that time
and with the help of a small group of some
of the players parents we commended upon
Coach Julio Melean, also nicknamed "Coqui"
as his friends like to call him, the task of
organizing, guiding and directing this young
team. During the following seven years Coach
"Coqui" worked with great patience with
these youngsters until the year 2002. After
this period the responsibility of coaching
and leading the team was placed upon coach
Diego Nunez and Abel Velasquez. The team was
guided under their leadership until February
of 2004. Just last month a new, young,
aggressive and talented coach by the name of
Victor Pastora, was nominated to carry on
the legacy of the West Kendall Soccer
Program. Coach Pastora will be heading the
coaching program alongside Diego Nunez and
together they have established and set forth
an important mission and a list of goals
that the team will need to accomplish if it
wants to continue to be as successful as it
has been in the past. Since the very start
of their competitive years, the West Kendall
'Tiburones' consistently placed themselves
as strong contenders in local, regional,
state, and national competitions. Among the
team's accomplishments, we would like to
list some of the championships they have
won: - Plantation Eagles Tournament in
Plantation, FL 1995, 1999, 2002 - Holiday

All the
team players are just now returning from
competing in their High School Teams
state soccer finales. During these
finals the players contributed
tremendously to their HS teams and
because of this, we are happy to say
that, they were all very successful. |
|
|
|
|
During the
month of March, we have scheduled a
series of play-off games for the team
and we are certain that these matches
will provide a very good level of
competition for them. |

To all
players, parents and supporters of our
team. We are going to have a very busy
game schedule during the months ahead.
We ask for your comprehension and
unconditional support. This schedule
will commence with the Leagues
play-offs. Immediately following these
events, we will be participating in the
'Dallas Cup', which in turn will be a
great opportunity to expose our players
to the numerous College Scouts and
Coaches that will be present at the
'Cup' from all over the country. After
the culmination of this event, we go on
to participate in the Florida State Cup
and also the Super Y-League. We are
convinced that through
www.ScoringSoccer.com and the miracle of
the Internet our players will be
expanding their horizon and
possibilities. Through the opportunities
this site has to offer them, they will
increase their options of being
recognized, noticed and scouted. |
