Boise Capital Director of Coaching Dave Chesler returned from Rio with a Pan-Am Games silver medal after the US U20 Women shocked the tournament by advancing to the Championship match. The U20s - playing against other countries’ full National teams, won their group and then advanced to the final with a 2-1 semifinal win over Canada. The young American team succumbed to Brazil in the final before 70,000 in the famed Maracana Stadium to finish with a Silver Medal.

Coach Chesler (pictured with US U20 and UCLA Head Coach Jillian Ellis) is an assistant with the team who were using the event as preparation for the Under 20 World Championships in China next November.

Justin Hill and Brandon Dimbi have been selected to represent Region IV this Fall.  Hill will be travelling with the '92 Boys over the Thanksgiving break to Orlando from November 23-27 while Dimbi heads to the Inter-Regional competition with the '91 Boys from December 26-31.

Our congratulations to both players on their selection !

Five Boise Capital boys were selected to the Region IV Olympic Development Pool this past Summer. Goalkeeper Derek Carver, who also attended the National selection camp in Boston at the end of July, was selected to the ‘94 age group; Kyle Menchaca to the ‘93 age group; Justin Hill to the ‘92 pool; and Zach Richardson and Brandon Dimbi to the ‘91 team.  Region IV annually selects a pool of 24-30 players from the 14 Western States to represent the region.

Their success culminates a season in which the club captured eight state championships and had six teams advance to the 1/4 Finals of the Far West Regionals in Las Vegas, NV.
