The Warriors and Lady Warriors Board congratulate the U-15-B Lady Warriors on their NVYLL Championship!  This is the third season in a row that our U-15 girls have won a Championship.  All six of our playoff eligible Lady Warriors teams qualified for the playoffs.

 

The Board is also elated to report that our U-15-A, U-15-B-1, U-15-C, and U-13-A Warriors were able to capture FOUR NVYLL Championships!  The U-15-A team upset #1 seed Loudon East, 11-2.  The U-15-B-1 team were victorious in a 5-4 victory over Chantilly.  The U-15-C team, seeded last, won the championship 4-3.  Our U-13-A team was victorious over Great Falls in a 5-4 double over-time game to preserve their undefeated, 13-0 season.  Ten of our eleven eligible boy's teams made the playoffs.

 

None of this success would have been possible without the support of the entire SYA Warriors & Lady Warriors community.  Your continued support is needed (we always need head and assistant coaches and volunteers) and, of course, always appreciated.

 

The SYA U-13 Mets Travel Baseball team has won the USA Majors State championship which was held 2 weeks ago.  Then down in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the team won the USA Majors World Series.  In winning the World Series, the Mets defeated the #1 ranked team in North Carolina in the semi-finals.  In the Championship game, the Mets defeated the #1 ranked team from Florida.  During this series, the Mets went 7-0 for 5 days.  Congratulations Mets! 

 

On February 9, 2008 the SYA 2007 Volunteer of the Year banquet was held at the Fair Oaks Marriott Hotel.  This event honors the outstanding volunteers from each sport for their contributions to SYA.  Certificates of appreciation and a gift were presented to each honoree from the sports represented.  In addition, the Presidential Award winner was announced by Gary Flather, SYA President.  This honor is given to the Most Outstanding Volunteer of the year for their tremendous dedication and long-term service to SYA.  Congratulations to Andy Lachance, former SYA Little League Commissioner, the 2007 Presidential Award Winner!  To view additional pictures please click on the Volunteer Banquet pictures 2007 menu on the left.

SYA is pleased to announce the upgrades and replacement of the fencing and backstop on Field #6 at Eleanor C. Lawrence Park by the Fairfax County Park Authority.  In our partnership with the county, SYA had encouraged the installation of this higher backstop which will act as a shield to help prevent flyovers from the 90' field to the 60' field.  We are delighted with the County efforts and look forward to the reopening of the diamond within the next two weeks.

 

 

Congratulations to the SYA East Majors All-Star team for winning the Virginia State Championship.  Next they will play in the Southeast Regional Tournament in St. Petersburg, FL in a quest to represent SYA in the Little League World Series in August.  Congratulations to the players, coaches and parents for a job well done!

 

 

 

Next up for this talented team is the first round of the Southeast Regional Tournament in North Carolina on July 20.  The team is coached by Kevin Brooks, Mark Yeo and Kevin's Dad.  Best of luck in the upcoming tournament!

 

Congratulations is also in order for the 14's team coached by Tim Benz for winning the District 6 tournament.  They will begin State Play on July 20.  And finally, the prep 13's came in second in the Districts and will play in the State tournament beginning July 19. 

 

Good Luck to All!
