Influential website TopDrawerSoccer.com has recognized six Pateadores boys’ teams as among the nation’s best teams. In the website’s current rankings of the top 50 teams in each age category, the Pats have representation in all but one age category for boys U13 through U18.
On the younger side, our Pateadores BU13 LA team (Coach Juan Guerrero) is ranked #2. In the U14 age group, incredibly, the Pats have two teams ranked in the top 10 -- BU14 Costa Mesa (Coach Mario Gonzalez) at #3 and BU14 San Diego (Coach David Nunez) at #6.
The under-17 group is proudly represented by the Pateadores BU17 Torrance (Coach Joe Cantu). Cantu’s team currently sits in the #13 spot.
Both Pateadores U.S. Development Academy Teams made the list, with the Academy U-15/16 (Coach Matt Tutton) ranked at #15 and the Academy U-17/18 (Coach Tutton) at #38. The U-17/18 team is certain to rise in next month’s rankings because of a current four game unbeaten streak.
