STOCKTON TLJ FC NEWS
Stockton TLJ FC is proud to announce our membership in Norcal Premiere Soccer
The continued improvement of our club has been recognized in our acceptance to Norcal Premiere. When we are able to play again, Stockton TLJ FC Teams will be competing in Norcal Premiere Soccer Leagues. In addition to getting our players more competitive games on a regular basis, TLJ coaches will have access to the plethora of coaching education opportunities and club development resources provided by Norcal Premiere. When we finally get the ok to play again, TLJ Teams will engage in more changes than what we will inherit from the recent corona-virus. We will also begin playing in a new, and more robust, league of play.
The future of Stockton TLJ FC is strong.

If the latest news from Governor Newsome is another sign of the times to come then all Stockton TLJ FC Parents need to take immediate action for the well-being of our children. Right now, all Stockton schools are closed until after Easter. However, the prolonged absence from school will not help your child in the long run. It is important that TLJ Families use this time wisely to help their children get a step ahead.
At Stockton TLJ FC, we endeavor to teach our children Discipline, Commitment, and Loyalty. In these unprecedented times, it is vital that we adhere to these characteristics now more than ever. One of the best things we can do for our children is to help them to develop a love of reading and learning. Seeing that all our children are going to be in a sort of "Home-School" mode and that most of our children speak English as a second language, then it is important to provide dedicated reading time for our children every day.
I have started my children with 60 minutes of dedicated reading time with an additional 25 to 30 minutes to write a report on the reading just completed. In addition to reading, our children need to receive physical activity on a regular basis. Regular physical activity has many benefits including mood enhancements, stress relief, increased cognitive processing, and greater physical health.
As soccer players, control of the ball is paramount. Players should spend an hour a day playing with the ball right now. The disciplined player will already have a routine to follow. Players can also use shoes and socks and anything else they find around the house as cones for dribbling and agility fitness.
TLJ will be upload videos of the kids performing freestyle tricks with the soccer ball on the Stockton TLJ Facebook and Instagram pages.
Help your child demonstrate commitment and discipline by encouraging them to stay on task to their duties like household chores, reading, and physical activity.

Si las últimas noticias del Gobernador Newsome son otra señal de los tiempos por venir, entonces todos los Padres de Stockton TLJ FC deben tomar medidas inmediatas para el bienestar de nuestros hijos. En este momento, todas las escuelas de Stockton están cerradas hasta después de Pascua. Sin embargo, la ausencia prolongada de la escuela no ayudará a su hijo a largo plazo. Es importante que las familias TLJ usen este tiempo sabiamente para ayudar a sus hijos a dar un paso adelante.
En Stockton TLJ FC, nos esforzamos por enseñar a nuestros hijos disciplina, compromiso y lealtad. En estos tiempos sin precedentes, es vital que cumplamos con estas características ahora más que nunca. Una de las mejores cosas que podemos hacer por nuestros hijos es ayudarlos a desarrollar un amor por la lectura y el aprendizaje. Al ver que todos nuestros niños van a estar en una especie de modo "Hogar-Escuela" y que la mayoría de nuestros niños hablan inglés como segundo idioma, entonces es importante proporcionar tiempo de lectura dedicado para nuestros niños todos los días.
Comencé a mis hijos con 60 minutos de tiempo dedicado a la lectura con 25 a 30 minutos adicionales para escribir un informe sobre la lectura que acaba de completar. Además de la lectura, nuestros niños necesitan realizar actividad física de manera regular. La actividad física regular tiene muchos beneficios, que incluyen mejoras del estado de ánimo, alivio del estrés, mayor procesamiento cognitivo y una mayor salud física.
Como jugadores de fútbol, el control de la pelota es primordial. Los jugadores deben pasar una hora al día jugando con la pelota en este momento. El jugador disciplinado ya tendrá una rutina a seguir. Los jugadores también pueden usar zapatos y medias y cualquier otra cosa que encuentren en la casa como conos para driblar y agilidad física.
TLJ subirá videos de los niños que realizan trucos de estilo libre con el balón de fútbol en las páginas de Facebook e Instagram de Stockton TLJ.
Ayude a su hijo a demostrar compromiso y disciplina alentándolo a cumplir con sus deberes, como las tareas domésticas, la lectura y la actividad física.
Youth Club Tryouts open in May!!!

TLJ FC Win CalNorth State Cup
The 2008 A's is the first TLJ FC Team to win a State Cup. This win means the team has punched their ticket to the Far West Regional Championships in Norco, CA this June 2020. The team is expected to play some of the best teams in the country as they vie for one of four invitations to the U.S. National Championships. This is a truly satisfying accomplishment for the team seeing as most of the players in the squad have little more than one to two years of experience playing competitive soccer. After a well-deserved winter break, the players will take on MLS Academy Teams in the West Coast Showcase in mid-January.
TLJ FC Players make Regional & Central State Norcal PDP Squads
Congratulations to the TLJ FC players who have made the Norcal PDP Region 8 and Central State Teams!
The Norcal Elite Player Development Program (PDP) has chosen four TLJ FC players for the first time and several more to return to their program.
For the youngest team available, PDP selected the following players for the first time, 2008 players Gabriel Carillo, Aidan Hendrickson, Samuel Ruiz, & Jayden Tenorio. Returning players are 2007 players Damien Aguilar, Hugo Caneda, & Jonathon Cardozo, 2006 - Jeovany Lugo, and 2005 players that made the Central State Team are Alex Alcala, Julio Garcia, & Fernando Varelas.
“The objective of the Player Development Program is to identify motivated, talented players – with club assistance. Assist clubs in the player development process. Showcase and promote players to US Soccer’s National Teams and Training Centers, Professional Clubs, id2 and College Soccer programs.” The PDP achieves this by, “ providing a professional training and game environment. Specialized training with experienced coaches – PDP staff and International coaches. Games – International trips, National Tournaments, College Showcases and Regional showcases. A homework and evaluation program.”
The program is FREE for all players. Cited from Norcal PDP.
The 2005 players were selected for the Central State PDP team. The Central State Team consists of the best players from multiple regions in Northern California. Julio and Fernanado had the honor of representing TLJ FC and Norcal PDP at a competition this summer in New Jersey against the top players from New York and Virginia. Alex Alcala was unable to attend due to his growing responsibilities with the Mexican National Team Under 15’s where he appears to be graduating into a leadership role in the midfield for El Tri. The left footed phenom is expected to go to Mexico to play the Brazil team in the coming weeks.
These accomplishments are a testament to each players’ dedication and perseverance to achieve excellence in soccer. These accolades highlight the commitment from the players’ families to continually support their player emotionally, physically, and financially for many years leading up to this point. This significant achievement represents a stepping stone for each player to go on and achieve greater things in the game and in their lives like collegiate and professional soccer, and making a positive impact in the lives of their family and community.
Congratulations boys! We are proud of all of you.
