CZ has landed in Russia…but unfortunately for me the CZ I’m referring to is Cherif Zein, not Chris Ziemer.  Many northern California players, coaches and teams have competed against Cherif’s “CZ Elite” teams over the years.  For over 35 years, Cherif has been working with players from the Los Angeles area and he is well known for bringing together children and coaches from all ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.   This is his 9th straight World Cup and he has offered to share some photos during his trip.

Thank you Cherif and safe travels!
