Ready for the Season?

As the new season nears we are extremely excited to see new and returning faces for the launch of our upcoming 2014 Fall season!

We saw a great improvement in the players as the season progressed. What was very apparent was the habits that our players created through nutrition and discipline on the field. It was great to see friendships created on and off the field.

Our next season is going to be from 10/24/15 – 12/12/15. This is going to be an 8 game season but packed with lots of fun things planned. Games will be played at Revo Valley Soccer Center in North Hollywood. There are currently 2 artificial fields that we will be playing on. Game times will be from 1pm-3pm this season due to other activities being held at the soccer center. Please make sure to keep note of this and adjust your schedules to be able to attend the games.

What to expect?

What our coaching staff and parents saw during the 2015 Summer season, we can definitely tell you that the energy is very high and kids have a great time! Our nutrition & wellness team off the field does a remarkable job to provide organic fruit fresh from local farmers markets in our area. We also bring that “power water” and explain the benefits of drinking water over sugary drinks such as Gatorade and Energy Drinks (BIG NO, NO!).

Gatorade and Energy Drinks contain on average 25-45 grams of SUGAR in 1 bottle! 4 grams = 1 tsp…Gatorade contains 28 fl. oz = 42 grams of sugar = 10 tsp
All the SUGAR that we consume, 50% of that sugar is processed and directly sent to our LIVER…when the LIVER has been overloaded with sugar, specifically liquid sugar “Sports Drinks, Energy, Drinks, and Soda,” the LIVER becomes ‘fatty’ and leads to Mental Disorders, Systemic and Metabolic Disorders, and eventually Death.
Science has proven that SUGAR is addictive. Contributes to loss of control, higher tolerance for sugar, and increases “cravings” censors in the Brain, same as addicts.

We welcome parents, donors, volunteers to help us and contribute to our program. Some parents last season were kind enough to volunteer to bring fruit, water and help set up or take down after the games. It was such as great feeling to see the kids absolutely love the fruit and “power water!”

How can I help?

Ole Soccer is a community and always welcome parents and volunteers to come and do something great with us providing healthy options and educating our players on the importance of eating “real food.”

Our job is to come together and help each other out. The coaches will do their best to develop your child on the field. Our coaches off the field will take care of the education on nurturing the mind and body with the proper diet.

Yelp Review from Monique V. – If you want to put your child in a soccer program, Ole Soccer is the way to go! Ole Soccer is more than just soccer. It’s a helpful, fun, and educational program for the entire family. Our son has attended practices and games for 4 weeks now and he loves it. The coaches are not just focused on making goals but they are more focused on training the children to set goals and achieve them.
The coaches, Walter, Carlos, Ari, and Jasmine and the rest of the coaching staff are some of the most kind and caring people I have ever interacted with on any level, let alone as a coach. They are so patient with the children, it’s mind blowing.
If you want to put your child in a program that promotes a healthy lifestyle and is more like a family than a program, then Ole Soccer is the program to choose.

Who can join our league?

Our upcoming 2015 Fall Season is open to boys & girls ages 3-6. We are focused on development from a young age.

Do you know the 3 times of the day we are the most dehydrated?

According to Shawn Stevenson, there are 3 times in the day where you are the most dehydrated.

1. When we wake up in the morning
– Wake up and drink minimum of 24 oz (inner bath) of high quality water before putting anything else in our body

2. After exercise or working out

3. After a meal or coffee

You should be urinating every 2 hours throughout the day to maintain the hydration in your body.
According to Shawn Stevenson, studies have shown that if you have just a 1% drop in your normal fluid level, you can start to have damage to your DNA!

When you’re dying of thirst, you’ve been dehydrated for hours. It’s all about water and hydration to your body.
DRINK MORE WATER!

Why Water and Hydration?

Ask yourself, why soda and juice? What are the benefits of what I drink?

Look at how many grams of sugar are in what you’re eating (on the nutritional label). Now divide that number by 4. That’s how many teaspoons of pure sugar you’re consuming.

According to Quality Drinking Water‘s website, it is estimated that over 80% of our population suffers energy loss due to minor dehydration.

• A 2% drop causes mental and physical performance to be impaired

• A 4% drop and your muscle strength declines

• If you are thirsty you are already 2 to 3% dehydrated

• Mild dehydration slows the metabolism

• A 15% drop cause’s death!

Alkaline may one of the BEST water to drink, read more.

Now what?

As you can tell, the benefits of drinking water compared to any other drinks are second to none. We all must be drinking lots of water and high quality water as much as possible to sustain our bodies and give us energy throughout the day.

Parents – It is our job to learn and be informed on what is best for ourselves and our kids. Make conscious decisions on what is best for our bodies and teach our families the importance of health & nutrition.

Kids – If you have kids, you must ditch the drinks with sugars as shown above and make sure we are providing them with as much water as possible.
