Our High school basketball team lost their opening game by 12 points at HOLA CENTER. “Our group played
well but still need games to come together as a team. We were not aggressive enough. We could feel some players did not play at their real potential. It is totally understandable. We will do
better next week.” said Coach Marilyn. That is exactly what they did: everyone fought hard during the second game, especially Dakota who has been playing really well this season. This team spirit
allowed us to win by 12 points last Friday. Boys High school next game will be held at Lafayette Park this coming Friday, January 27th 2012 at 7.00 pm. Boys and Girls elementary
basketball will start the competition when they will be back from France at Hazard recreation center. Los Feliz and Pasadena will have 2 teams registered in that competition. Our two Girls volleyball team will be back in the game this coming week end, with our U15 group playing on Saturday,
and our U18 group playing on Sunday. Both teams will be coach
ed by Caroline. After a good week of practice, we hope to have more room to play and be able to win at least a game. Our girls High school
basketball team will be playing this coming Wednesday January 25th 2012 at Hazard Recreation Center at 6.30 pm. Our soccer team 12-15 keeps
on practicing and will have its first scrimmage soon. We also would like to congratulate the West Valley players and coaches for their soccer program. After being successful during the fall
season, we now have 36 players registered in the YMCA spring season with coach Myriam and Anne. Go Lions!
Our girls U18 Volleyball team started its official season this past Saturday January 9th
2012. As expected the level was strong and our opponents did not allow us to win a game. “It is the first tournament, girls have to get used to the competition. We just finished our pre-season
and we may have played the best teams during the first round. We can only improve and we will have to stay focus on our objectives starting next week end” said Coach Fabien Lacroix. Lila girls
U15 will also enter the competition next Sunday with the Southern California Volleyball Association. Coach Caroline Baccou would like to win at least one game during this first round, to do as
well as last year. “Girls have more January 9th experience and reach the age limit (U15). We should be able to have a good start and the 
first tournament is always exiting”. Our basketball elementary team will
start to practice on Monday 2012 (4 pm) with Coach Marilyn Dubon. Fifteen players were selected to represent Lila during the Hazard Recreation competition. They will practice at school on Mondays
and Fridays (4-5pm). Two teams (Los Feliz) and Pasadena will play official games, starting late January2012. Boy’s high school will end up their pre season and should start the HOLA recreational
league this coming Friday January 13th 2012. They will play around 14 matches in order to qualify for the play off. Coach Marilyn is confident as the group seems more compact than last
year. Lila soccer U16 will now practice on Mondays and Wednesdays (4-5 pm). They will play friendlies against club teams and other schools. The cross
country practices will soon starts on Tuesdays afternoon with Coach Caroline for both groups U12 and U15 years old. Students will improve their endurance capacity to prepare the cross country

Lila Lions played their last game at YMCA Reseda last week-end. After a competitive season, they were
eliminated during the first playoff round. It was a close game and they lost by 6 points. Even if the opponents were strong teams and we lost games
this season, our students improved and had a taste of competition. We work for the future and they never stopped practicing and trying their best. We were not focus on their performance but on
the progress they have been making for better seasons to come. Congratulations to the whole group and coach Fabien. Go Lions!
Our Girls basketball team will keep on practicing after having played the exposition
center season. They will participate to the Hazard recreation center season, and will play about ten games after January 2012
. Most of our girls will also participate to the SCVA Volleyball season played on Saturdays. They
will have their first official game right after the vacation. “We will have to be ready, and already improved our fitness and our touch. The games conditions will be different and the girsl will
have to deal with the pressure and a special environment.” Said coach Fabien. We are confident we will play at our top level. That is the minimum we can do. Our
opponents are strong squads there, sometimes top clubs in California, and it will be no given victories.
