LILA ATHLETICS BLOG

Our girls U18 Volleyball team started its official season this past Saturday January 9^th 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 9^th 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 13^th 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 competition held in May 2012 (Balboa Park).
