I have a 10 year old girl (born 6/20/02) who wants to get into soccer this year. She doesn't have any experience though. Is this for new players too or just those with prior experience?

Thanks.

hannah&sara - We would love for her to come out to practice on Monday! Please send me an email at phil.duhon@mejasc.com so I can give you some details!

vctexas - this team has a bit of a variety in experience level. Some have played rec soccer only, while some have played a little bit of club (academy) prior to this season. I will gladly take a look at your daughter and be honest with you if I think this environment would be right for her.

I assume that you read my reply regarding cost for joining the team. I just want to stress that this is a commitment for 11 months of soccer.

If your daughter is athletic, and wants to work to improve, she could be a contributor on this team, as the majority of the girls are not that far ahead of someone like that. So if you are interested, come out to practice on Monday and we can talk afterwards.

Please allow me to share a few things about this team and my coaching philosophy. First, my full-time job is an assistant boys soccer coach and math teacher at McKinney Boyd High School. Second, We are building a family environment around our team. I am most concerned about the development of each girl on the team. My goal is for each of them to develop technically, grow in their tactical knowledge of the game and build self-confidence in them as young women. My daughter, Ellie, is on the team, and I wish to provide for each girl on this team the quality coaching and supportive environment that I would wish for her. Our parents are committed to building something special among our group as we grow together as a family.

I promise never to cut a player that has made my team, as I consider it my responsibility to develop the players under my care. I will always tell you exactly where you stand. I will deal honestly and openly with you and your daughter, and not cast you aside, because that is how families deal with each other.

We practice on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:00 at Lone Star High School, and conduct a skills session on Fridays at 6:00 at Bacchus Park.

If this interests you, please PM me or contact me at phil.duhon@mejasc.com!

Just curious, how much do you pay the school district and city of Frisco for use of these facilities ?

Probably the same as any other team that you see every evening and weekend at any elem, MS, HS, or park area in this city.....
Whether they are practicing for soccer, baseball or football..... Private coaches or full teams.

It's not nothing, but I honestly don't know what it is. Our club contracts out with FISD and city of Frisco and pays the going rate. I am not in charge of paying for practice facilities, so I don't keep track of what we pay.

Interesting Baachus Park is closed for practices. Who at your club would be able to answer this ?

When you sign with a select team your contract shows how much of your fee goes to practice fields. For instance, my son plays on a different club and we pay $267.00 a year per child for use of the fields in Mckinney.It all depends on how many children are on the roster.
