For the first time in the history of the program, two Malibu AYSO boys U16 teams competed head to head for the Area 10E championship last month at Dos Vientos Park in Newbury Park. Malibu’s Team B, led by coach Rick Erickson and assistant coach Tom Sorce, took home the championship trophy after a decisive 6-1 victory.

The championship game ended a very successful season for both teams and highlighted the strength of Malibu’s AYSO soccer program.
