The Akita Story U10

The NM Rush Akitas began as a U5 team playing for Alameda and are now a U10 team playing for NM Rush. The team plays in the Duke City Soccer League (DCSL).

 

In two years (U5 & U6) playing in Northwest Rio Grande Soccer League (NWRGSL) the Akitas only lost two games by one goal each. Including the recreational tournaments played,  the Akitas record during the Alameda years was 37-2-2. The Akitas played in three tournaments during those years and won all three. During the 2006 season of DCSL play the U7 Akitas went 12-4 losing four close games to older U8 teams. The Akitas participated in two tournaments during the U7 year and did not medal playing in U8 brackets.

 

During the U8 season the Akitas won the Rio Vista Open, the Turkey Shoot, and the United Cup Tournaments as well as going undefeated in DCSL play. To end the year the Akitas played in the Sandia Cup and competed in the U9 bracket coming closing in several games but not medaling.

 

This Spring season (U9) the Akitas had their 28 DCSL game unbeaten streak stopped in a 1-0 loss. Remarkable run.

 

In five years (U5-U9), the Akitas record including tournaments is 98 (wins) 27 (loses) 4 (ties).

 

This team is aiming at playing competitively in the DCSL for years to come and is already recognized as a top team within its age group.
