The Juventus Victory 93 team has joined the De Anza Force Club. Along with the current De Anza Force 93G Blue (2008 Abronzino Champions) team, the Force club will be fielding two Class 1-Division 1 teams for Spring and Fall 2009. We are looking for serious players at all positions who are committed to playing soccer at the highest level, and who are interested in potentially playing at the collegiate level.

We have two of the most outstanding (and successful) coaches in California. Joe Silveira, who has both played and coached professionally (SJ Earthquakes), and holds a USSF "A" license. Joe was the Director / Coach for the mens and womens programs at Notre Dame de Namur University where his teams were nationally ranked. He was named Conference Coach of the year more than 6 times while at Notre Dame; and has served as the US Liaison to the 1994 Brazilian World Cup team.

Iman Siadat has successfully played soccer at both the collegiate (full scholarship, team captain, All-Conference) and professional levels. In 2001, Iman founded and managed the Southern Oregon Fuego, a semi-professional team in Ashland, Oregon. While in Oregon, he coached both the girls and boys varsity Ashland high school teams taking the boys to the State semi-finals in 2006. As coach of the U18G team for the Rogue Valley Soccer Club, Iman's team won the State Championship advancing to the Regionals.

These two De Anza teams will compete in the 2009 California State Cup and Super Y League in the Spring. In addition, the teams will compete in the NorCal State Cup, Mustang Stampede, Surf Cup and SoCal Blues Cup, to name a few.

We will be holding an open tryout on Sunday, February 15; however, our coaches are also available to watch interested players compete on their high school teams, or to have players attend our team practices starting in February.
