Alyssa Strope -- Tracy, CA



Defender
5-9
Tracy High School
California Cougars Soccer Club


A natural left back Alyssa has the ability to play any position in the back line. In 2010 she led her varsity team to the SJAA League Championship for the first time in 30 years. Tracy HS is coached by Joe Perry. She plays her club soccer for one of the top programs in the state, the Cal Cougars out of Stockton, where she is coached by Matt Kusanovich. Alyssa plans on majoring in Liberal Studies and wants to be a Special Education teacher. Her parents are Yvette and Ken.

Coach Bolton: Alyssa is one of the fittest high school athletes I've ever seen. She has the ability to run for 90 minutes and play at a high level the entire time. That is a great quality for an outside defender in our system. She loves to attack out of the back which is exactly what we are looking for from our outside backs. She is a perfect fit for our style of play.

Fun Fact: Alyssa is a member of her high school's varsity dance team (see picture on right).
