Soccer Domain FC Santos Crowned National 3v3 Champions

Disney Wide World of Sports, January 16th

SDFC Santos, the U7 soccer team based in Montclair made up of players from across Essex & Passaic County, returned home with a first place trophy after competing in the Kick It 3v3 World Championships. The Kick It 3v3 World Championship (www.kickit3v3.com) is a national event with qualifying tournaments held throughout the country.

SDFC Santos, coached by Paul Nash of Sports Domain Academy, earned their spot in the National Finals in Orlando, FL having reached the final of a qualifier tournament in Somerset, NJ.

On Friday 13th, SDFC Santos travelled to Florida with a squad of six players; Lukas Ferrada, Jared Fiske, Devin Golden, Charlie Grossman, Michael Guzman and Spencer Jahng.

 

After coming to terms with jet lag, nerves and a change in surface, the Santos found their feet and qualified for the Gold Bracket Quarter Finals with a 2-1-0 record. In the process scoring 20 goals and conceding only 6 after competing against teams from Florida and North Carolina.

The Santos faced Boca Juniors Miami in the Quarter Finals and came out firing with 4 first half goals and the game finishing 5-3 in SDFC’s favor. The Semi Final saw Santos came up against their toughest opponents yet in ICFC of South Carolina. A nervous start left the SDFC side down 4-1 at half time before a second half performance full of belief and confidence turned the game on its head and after surviving a late disallowed goal, the SDFC Santos won 7-6 and qualified for the national final.

SDFC Santos were matched up with a ‘select’ team from Ohio in the final, with nerves hindering a first half performance SDFC Santos were down 1-0. The 2nd half saw Santos turn on the style displaying skill, composure and creativity to claim a 3-1 the Championship.

A deservedly proud, Paul Nash said, “The players have been with us since the age of 5 in our SDFC Development Centers and train with maturity and desire above their years – even coming in for extra sessions at our facilities in Montclair, Clifton and Roseland every week. The win was thoroughly deserved with our players earning plaudits for their technical ability and work rate. However the most pleasing part for me was the character of the team’s performances, with teamwork, sportsmanship and professionalism shown on and off the field.”

Nash added, “The experience of playing in a National tournament while enjoying the many activities that Disney is able to offer, is one that will last with these boys and families for a long time. We look forward to defending our trophy again next year."

This win for the SDFC Santos follows a very successful 12 months for the club after the SDFC Rangers (U13B) were crowned State Cup and NJ Cup winners in 2011, finishing the year ranked #1 Nationally and SDFC Gauchos (U16B) winning the Region 1 Title and qualifying for the National Championship in Arizona.
