DVFL @ - 2014 NorthWest Futsal Regional Championship

(March 14-16 @ San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, CA)


For 15 years, DVFL has introduced in the Bay Area, the Brazilian-style of playing Futsal. Forming refs, coaches, and many players that grew up playing and learning to love the real futsal game! The result of this work came with 12 teams, that played Season 1 and Season 2 of 2013/14 at DVFL, that showed interest and decided to register to compete at the Futsal Regionals Tournament that happened on the weekend of 03/14-03/16. There were about 120 teams playing games from 8AM until 10:30PM in 8 official futsal courts! For some of those teams it was the first time they were experiencing such a big tournament which might seem intimidating...well, not for the U12 Girls DV Rebeldes that reached, in their first Regionals, a spot in the semifinal game.

One of those teams was the U14 Girls DV Magic that finished the second round with the best record of its age group and for one goal only were not able to grasp a semifinal spot but, for sure, it's a promising and committed team for Nationals. Some of the teams had previous experience in that tournament but not too much time to practice but, at the end, a great learning experience to all teams.

After some intense and exhausting games, the U11 Boys DV Roma (picture on the right) conquered, for the second time, the championship title - as we say in Brazil: BI CAMPEAO! Some players have been at Diablo Valley Futsal League since they were U8 Boys! Ramon and Laurindo helped the boys conquer this title. With some extra tips and tricks from the real futsal, this age group can be a very strong candidate for the National title. Coaches Ricardo & Rodrigo Da Silva split forces to attend the final of the U11 Boys and the U19 Boys DV Diablos scheduled for the same hour.

The U19 Boys DV Diablos was made of a mix of few new players and many players that have been playing together since they were U10 Boys, with the incentive of Elisama Padilla Sr.. They had their first appearance at a National Futsal Tournament in 2006 (picture left) and have conquered National titles as U15 and U16 age groups 2 years ago. They won the Regional title during the second half of the final game as they were losing 1x2 at the end of first half. Under Rodrigo Da Silva's orientation they ended up with the score of 5x3 to put their hands on the medals and trophey (picture right missing: Andy A., Emanuel J., Erik M., and Yojai).

The "fire" has just started and after the end of the 2nd season at DVFL, the coaches will get ready to select the players for the teams to go to Nationals in July/2014!

Futsal, for us, is not a fashion, it's a passion that we brought with us from Brazil since Rodrigo Da Silva, at the age of 3, experienced his first futsal academy day (picture below)!
