The Section 11 All-Star Championships were held on February 18th and 19th in Garden Grove. Tustin had two teams win the Area Q Championship to advance: The Boys Under-10 Miranda and Boys Under-12 Jankowski teams. Our Boys Under-10 won their group to play South Gate in the final, who was the only team to best them in the championships. Showing good sportsmanship, the two teams posed together for a picture after the game (below). The full results for these championships can be found on the Section 11 website.

In December, the Girls Under-12 team under Coach Hildago won the Area 11-Q Championship by a score of 2-1 in the final over South Irvine. They advanced to the Section 11 playoffs in Feburary and finished in 4th place. Also finalists from Tustin were the Boys Under-10 team by Coach Flores.

A big thank you to Mayor Pro Tem John Nielsen for coming out to the finals and presenting the medals and trophies for the Mayor's Cup. The Fall season league playoffs, the Mayor's Cup, concluded Sunday, December 4rd. This single elimination tournament involved all teams in divisions Under-9 through Under-14, and was seeded from the regular season final standings. The Mayor's Cup champions and runner-ups (both finalists) advance to the Area tournament as Tustin's Champions. Full information can be found on our Mayor's Cup page.

The schedule has been published for the teams advancing. It can be found on the Area 11-Q Schedule. This tournament spans two weeks from Dec 5 - Dec 18 and begins with pool play where most teams will play 3 games. The first games are on Monday, Dec 5th. When reading the schedule, "R0096B" breaks down as "Region 96 B", or 2nd place from the Mayor's Cup. "A" is the 1st place team from the Mayor's Cup.

Attention All-Star Players: Your commitment to your fall league team comes first. In the event of ANY conflict, you are required to attend your fall league team's event instead of the all star team's event. This includes practices, games and any other event.
