Caitlin and Michaela Keefe play for the Pacific Palisades AYSO U-10 girls all star team. With more than 40 victories and 24 shutouts this season, the highly successful Pali Storm has integrated a spread offense skillfully passing the ball from sideline to sideline, frustrating opponents and creating excellent scoring opportunities.

Michaela and Caitlin, along with the rest of the team, have discovered that this unselfish offense along with a committed defense has enabled the team to be one of the most feared teams in California. The Storm won numerous tournaments this year including the Area P Championship which included the top all star teams from over 20 cities from Central and West Los Angeles.

Caitlin and Michaela will enter 5th grade at Corpus Christi School this fall.

In addition to soccer, Michaela and Caitlin excel at basketball and volleyball.

Amanda Lisberger is a senior at Brentwood School and was named the Palisadian-Post’s female athlete of the year in 2007. She has signed a national letter of intent to play for the University of Texas next season.

The all-time career scoring leader at Brentwood , Lisberger has netted 20 or more goals in each of her four seasons and is expected to graduate in June with 11 varsity letters (four in soccer and three each in track and cross country).

Amanda is a three-time All-CIF first-team selection and a four-time first-team All-Olympic league choice.

Lisberger also played a key role on her Eagles Soccer Club’s U17 team, which won the national championship in July. She scored the winning goal on a header in the state finals and assisted on the decisive goal in the national finals.

Born in South Korea , Lisberger has been invited to join the Korean Republic national team pool for the next World Cup.

Amanda says that at the youth level she will miss the fun and enjoyment of playing and winning with her friends but she looks forward to the challenges that lay ahead.

The Pali Blues Soccer Club wishes Amanda the best of luck.
