DCR 95 Completes Their Club Career 2013-05-15

Five years ago, almost to the day, a group of players and parents from Jtown Youth Soccer faced a choice.  After years of playing together, they could either (a) tryout for different select clubs, ending their friendships or (b) stay together and form their own select team.  They didn’t know if they would be able to compete at a higher level but they knew they had coaches who had knowledge and a passion for the game (thank you Ben and Stu!) and that they had teammates they loved.  That was the beginning of Derby City Rossoneri.  The players from that first team would improve dramatically over the next five years.  In addition, they began a new club dedicated for girls – one that now has 10 teams and well over 130 players!  On Tuesday, May 14, that first team played its last competitive game.   This is their photograph from that last game, including some of the original Jtown players:  Aubrey, Alex, Sara, Bronte, Hannah, Christina and Cayla, as well as the players who have become their friends:  April, Lexi, Sarah D., and Hope.  This may have been their last match but this is a group that will always be remembered for their firsts!

Four of our teams travelled to Indy this week to participate in the Fishers Halloween Classic tournament.  The 02s won their division in nailbiter fashion having to play through two overtimes before clinching
the title in PKs and grabbing the Championship trophy.  The injury depleted 99s having only one sub in their title game fought valiantly and earned the Finalist trophy for their division.  The 03s played a four
game round robin and came away with well deserved participation medals.  The 00s competed well in their games and won their first tournament game of the season to leave Indy on a positive note. 
Stat of the tourney: All four teams won their Sunday openers.

DCR Moves To Fern Creek 2012-06-10

Derby City Rossoneri is excited to announce our affiliation with Fern Creek Optimist Soccer. This affiliation should be beneficial for both clubs! Fern Creek has consistently been one of the most successful recreational soccer programs in the Louisville area and the KYSA. DCR, which only has girls' teams, is the fastest growing select club in the area, starting with one team five years ago and having now expanded to as many as 10 teams and 140 players next year. Both clubs strive to keep youth soccer fun, instructive and family-oriented.

DCR will be now be practicing and playing matches at the Fern Creek facilities located at 8921 Smith Lane off of Johnson School Road in Fern Creek. The soccer complex is already one of the best in the region and we look forward to working with Fern Creek to even further improve and expand the facility. We view this as a partnership which will benefit the Louisville soccer community.
