RICHMOND, VA (July 17, 2019) – The Overall Club Championship is the most highly coveted club award in the ECNL, identifying the member club that exemplified consistency and excellence across every age group during the season. For the 2018-2019 season, LAFC Slammers has claimed the crown, and their #AmazingYoungWomen set a standard of quality for all in the league to chase.
“We are honored to be crowned the ECNL Overall Club Champion and to have our name alongside previous winners,” said Director of Coaching for LAFC Slammers, Walid Khoury. “This is a goal that we set out to accomplish at the beginning of the year and to see it come to fruition is a testament to the hard work our girls put in. On behalf of LAFC Slammers, we would like to thank our parents, our coaching staff and most of all — our players — for all of their contributions in making this dream become a reality.
Added Alex and Walter Camargo, Executive Directors for CDA Slammers FC: “This speaks directly to the depth and quality of our coaching staff and players. And, not what just the LAFC Slammers FC teams did, but our entire Slammers organization. Including, Boys Slammers ECNL making it to the National Championships and our 5 CDA Slammers FC teams advancing to USYS Far West Regionals. Amazing job everyone!”
