Matrix South Bay and Matrix Bonita players trained with UC Irvine Women’s soccer star Zoya Farzaneh (in photo, center) at a National Guard Soccer Clinic organized by the San Diego Development Academy. The March 15 clinic was located in Carlsbad, and eight Matrix players made the nearly hour long drive to attend. In addition to an excellent training session, the girls learned about what it takes to be a college athlete, and the resources available to help them reach college and career goals. They called it a great experience, and those who were in Coach Zoya’s group praised her skill.

Matrix South Bay will host a National Guard Soccer clinic here in the South County on Saturday, April 26, 2014. Details to come.
