BASA Pitbull’s win league soccer championship
“I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.”
-- Mia Hamm
PITTSBURG, CA (October 18, 2009) -- The Pitbull’s
Club soccer team ended the BASA Adult First Division portion of the
2009 season with an 21-3 record and the league championship banner.
BASA Pitbull’s posted a win over Huracan to win the title and finished
division play with a victory.
“We knew this would be a tough
game,” coach Dario Arredondo said. “They were fighting for second place
while we had first cinched. We were hoping for a relaxed game but they
put pressure on us all game long.”
Arredondo credited senior
goalkeeper Juan Gonzales with several big saves in the opening half to
keep Huracan from scoring. The game was 2-0 at intermission.
Carlos Perez put the ball in net early in the second half off a penalty. “Mario Martinez finds ways to score,” said Arredondo. “He has a great sense of the field.” Daniel Perez controlled the pace of the game in the second half. Juan Gonzales took over goalkeeping responsibilities with 25 minutes to go and maintained the shutout making six saves.
“We switched the lineup around today giving different guys a chance to start,” Arredondo continued. “They were getting experience for next season but did a great job in the game.” He praised the play of Mario Martinez, Daniel Perez, Carlos Perez, Edgar Velez, Abraham Calderon, Sergio Alvarez and Jorge Basulto. “It was like a preview of next season.”
Arredondo commended the play of Daniel Perez. “This is a team that had a goal of winning the league championship and accomplished it not by individual effort but by playing as a team. They worked together and cheered for each other. It’s been a fun year as a coach. The goal of Bay Area Soccer Academy is to provide individualized training to give players and teams the skills, confidence and composure to be successful on the field. Soccer is a game of fundamentals.
Whether the student is a field player or goalkeeper all players need to possess ball control, vision and must be able to execute play with speed. The player having confidence in their skills and composure over the ball will maximize their enjoyment of the game.” Arredondo said.
Team, along with players families, participating
teams coaches, sponsors, and league officials celebrated at El Matador
Restaurant.
We would like to thank our League sponsors. Our
sponsors are extremely important to us. Without their financial and
product support, we wouldn’t be able to field low-income youth and
adult soccer players. Please join us by using their products and
services. If you have a chance, and you see them, please take a moment
to thank them for making this possible.

The Challenger Division of Little League is a program for mentally and physically challenged youth, helping them to enjoy the full benefits of Little League Baseball participation in an athletic environment structured to their abilities.
On April 17, 2009, LIF hosted a policy briefing to promote dialogue about the current environmental and reproductive health disparities facing the Latino community. The theme of the briefing will drive the conversation among academics, community leaders, elected officials staff and students from across California.
BASA and Pitbull's Club are proud to recognize Latino Issues Forum. Great things happen when we harness our community spirit and pull together for a good cause.
Latinos – a young, diverse and fast-growing community – live in the worst environmental communities and face the greatest health risks in California. Environmental risks such as hazard land use, poor air and water quality leave California Latino communities vulnerable to chronic illnesses such as asthma, cancer and reproductive health problems in both men and women.
The lack of environmental oversight and access to affordable health care services have left the underserved Latino community with the desire to advocate for their well-being by proposing policies that would significantly impact their community.
“We are pleased to have advocates, researchers, students and policy experts convene to discuss some of the most prevalent issues affecting our state. Latino Issues Forum’s ability to advocate and provide leadership is essential in continuing to maintain an equitable and sustainable society. Healthier Latinos means a healthier California!” stated Elmy Bermejo, Interim Executive Director of LIF.
Fast Facts
Reproductive health:
• Latinas have the highest risk of developing cervical cancer in California. In the Central Valley, for example, cervical cancer rates for Latinas are three times higher than those of Non-Hispanic Caucasians and are the highest among all ethnic groups. This is somewhat attributed to a low incidence of regular screening such as Pap smear tests among Latinas (1,2).
• Latinas have the highest rates of cervical cancer caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which is considered the most common sexually transmitted infection in the U.S. (3).
• Latinos diagnosed with HIV develop AIDS within one year of diagnosis, which suggests that the majority of Latinos are diagnosed 8-10 years after acquiring HIV. Moreover, Latinas represent 29 percent of women living with HIV in California (4).
Environmental health
• One in six Latinos have been diagnosed with asthma in California. In the San Joaquin Valley, nearly one in five children has asthma (5).
• Nearly 90% of U.S. farm workers are Latino, and many of these laborers and their families are routinely exposed to toxic pesticides. In California, Hispanics employed as farm workers were found to have 59-69% greater risk of getting stomach, cervical, and uterine cancer, and some leukemias, compared with other Hispanics in the state (6).
• The placement of freeways and other major transportation hubs are disproportionately located in Latino or other low income communities, therefore these communities are the ones most impacted by diesel pollution (5). 41% of Latinos are likely to report respiratory problems in their household (7).
Latino Issues Forum (LIF) is a non-profit public policy and advocacy institute dedicated to advancing new and innovative public policy solutions for a better, more equitable, and prosperous society.
