Another Memorial Day weekend has come and gone with scores of AYSO soccer players filling our fields, our downtown and our communities with smiling faces and “worldly” sportsmanship. The 26th annual Davis World Cup directors would like to thank the many individuals, families and local businesses who made this year one of the best.

Thank you, Tandem Properties, Coca-Cola, Odwalla, Nugget Market, Ink Monkey, Original Steve’s, Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt and the city of Davis for your generous sponsorships and support.

We also would like to thank some amazing individuals whose dedication to Davis AYSO is truly inspirational: Charlie Russell, Chris Ziccardi, Maureen Carson, Lori Pacuilla, Dave Pike, Shelley McFarland, Kurt Yeaman, Paul Schrupp, Sue Cordier, Scott Brayton, Jim Danzer, Gordon Burns, Doug Johnston, Charlotte Strutzel, Jack Strutzel and Bert Craig.

We also would like to thank the countless volunteer referees who amaze us with their patience, devotion and tolerance. Thank you, Mike Ziccardi, for leading our Davis AYSO Select program this year — it’s not an easy job rallying coaches and teams and keeping everyone on the same page.

Thank you, Mitch Sears, for our wonderful opening ceremonies. You pulled it off without much help and really made an impact on our children.

Thank you, Davis Boy Scout Troop 111, for keeping our fields immaculate and for your service to our community and the environment.

And finally, thank you, Jen Boschee-Danzer, for leading Davis AYSO through another glorious year of soccer. Your support has been immeasurable; we could not have done it without you.

Heather Mariano and Debra Brayton

Davis World Cup co-directors, Davis
