  • CAC Coach is a National Champion!

    thorns4September 17, 2013.  Yesterday we asked if you knew which one of our coaches currently working in Zimbabwe recently won a national title. (Hint: the four coaches working in Zimbabwe are Sophie LeGros, Jon Dickinson, Dani Foxhoven, and Becca Meierbachtol, and only one of them plays for the Portland Thorns).   And the answer is….. Dani Foxhoven!  Dani was a starter for the Portland Thorns in the championship game as they captured the inaugural National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) championship with a 2-0 victory over the Western New York Flash.

    Dani played throughout the season for the Thorns, helping them to the third-seed entering the playoffs.  The final match over the Flash (and all-time leader goal-scorer in women’s soccer Abby Wambach) meant that the city of Portland has it’s first professional championship since 1977.  Shortly after finishing her celebrations, Dani finalized her preparations and jumped onto a plane to work with Coaches Across Continents.  She will be working in Zimbabwe and Tanzania for the next two months, hitting six different communities run by our partner organizations.

    Send Dani and the rest of the Thorns some love by commenting below or by following them on Twitter @ThornsFC!

  • BECAUSE GIRLS PLAY FOOTBALL TOO.

    March 8th, 2013:  Coaches Across Continents reports from our great partner in Indonesia about their very original idea to support International Women’s Day 2013.

    League of Change is the name of a national street tournament for disadvantaged communities in Indonesia. Our partners Rumah Cemara will be hosting the tournament that will include nine HIV/AIDS and drug dependency organizations consisting of people living with HIV/AIDS, people who use drugs, and people living with disadvantages. Not only does Rumah Cemara involve dependency organizations in their tournament but they also involve the local communities to help them better understand about HIV/AIDS, drug dependency and social issues. This tournament is also an opportunity for participants to be selected for the 2013 Homeless World Cup in Poland.

    This year’s League of Change will be the first time that five women’s teams will be involved in the tournament!!! Despite all the challenges women face in Indonesia, Rumah Cemara is making sure that women won’t face the challenge of not being able to play football. It will be a huge celebration and accomplishment for Women’s Day this year in Indonesia. Great work Rumah Cemara!

    Coaches Across Continents will be back on the court in Indonesia with Rumah Cemara in September 2013.
