Does anyone have any information about who is coaching any of the pre-academy teams? I feel like its pulling teeth to get any information from the clubs and the only club with the information about times and locations for practices next week are the Dallas Texans. I just don't understand why it seems so secretive. Don't they know who is coaching by now? Any information would be helpful.

Solar Coach Info
Kevin Smith will be coaching the U14 Pre Acadmey team.
Adrian Solca will be coaching the U15 Pre Academy team.
I believe Ray Deleon and Nuno Passeos will be co-coaching the U13 Pre Academy team.
You should contact those coaches for practice times and locations.

For Solar I understand it will be Passos for U13. For Texans I believe it will be HN and Leo Maric for U14 and U13 and HN and David Hudgell for U15. I don't know what age you are looking at but you can't go wrong with Maric when it comes to good training/coaching and being a good role model. I haven't heard anything from FCD yet. Keep in mind that nothing has been officially announced yet for any of the clubs and as we know with N. Texas soccer things can change at any moment. Good luck.

I believe there are only 25. But seriously, do we have to start with this again?

if they teach them to play the way the academy team played in the Dallas cup then it won't matter anyway

Looks like El Nuno is back in the loop, that's good. Will they be still holding the practices out in West Texas? Also heard KS is just taking his entire 98 team and playing them as the 97 pre academy team. I have assets on the ground in frisco and you would not believe some of the things they are hearing
. JBaz for the 96 (questions of hoarding spots for his boys) Molina for the 97 and hayden for the 98. This is all subject to change with the exaustive nation wide coaching search and internal jockeying being done. I am sure some formal announcement will be done too late and after everyone already knows.

I believe Josema was officially announced as the 96 coach; the other FC positions weren't announced yet

and you certianly did not hear any of that from me. Can you confirm any of the supposed hording of pre academy spots for his andro boys?

I can not confirm that, but Josema's boys are always very good so it would make sense that what he saw in them to choose them the first time, he would still find great quality traits for players that he would want on this team as well.
....What I did hear from a FC coach is that the tryouts are just an exercise, that the club already knows which boys they want....Of course that was from a coach that doesn't want to lose his players to the pre-academy teams so understand his comments are self-motivated.

I have a question for you guys; Will the pre-academy teams be made up mostly from the older boys from the younger age groups or the younger boys from the older age groups? For example, will the 98 pre-academy team from the Texans or FCD be made up of older 98 birth year kids coming from the 99 groups, or will they be mostly made up from the younger 98 birth years coming from the 98 teams?
Thx.

FCD 98 seems to be a large part from the kids out of the 99 group. I would expect the texans 98 to also have a strong 99 showing. There does seem to be a little politics going one with everything not being out in the open and transparent. I do know of coaches playing the game to protect their teams and others to push their kids. Also parents working and manuvering to assure their kids place.

As an observer of a much younger kid not at this level yet, this seems absurd to me. You mentioned parents manuevering to get their kid a spot on the team. Won't the coach simply take the best players? Why leave off a kid that is better, helps you win, and performs on the field for a kid that has lapdog parents? Is it fair to say that if your kid does not play for one of the clubs that has a pre-academy team but then comes and tries out during the pre-acadamy year, he will have little chance?
Interesting stuff for us parents of those not quite there yet.

Don't worry it all works out eventually. Mommy and Daddy become less and less of a factor as the years go by. If your kid is outstanding they will take him. If your kid is only as good as the kid with smoking hot mom or uber rich dad then you he may be out of luck.

Bump off a bench player with another bench player, no not happening. Come out with a stud that is a definite, no doubt starter and you can bet someone is getting cut at the end of the bench. No different than club. It is a business whose success is evaluated by most observers by the amount of wins.

That makes more sense to me and I can see the coach being loyal to his own kids, if the new kid has the same talent. I am hoping a coach would take a kid from another team that is better than his own kids however. I think the desire to win should allow the best kids to make the team, period, end of story without any politcal influence from the mom/dad.

great thought and it should but it hasn't up until this point so why start now. The politics of it all seems to have always been a factor.

We have a kid getting playing time on our team---his brother is a star player that the coach wants to keep in a different age group so the coach wants to keep momma happy.

this is nothing new but neither is the politics,ass kissing,special favors,and of course placing a little extra cash in the coaches pocket never seems to end and has no bounderies!Soccerinsanity wrote:We have a kid getting playing time on our team---his brother is a star player that the coach wants to keep in a different age group so the coach wants to keep momma happy.

That's what we've been doing wrong! I've never put extra cash in a pocket! Is there a rate sheet? Defender = $40; forward = $50; 100% game ?????

Is the exchange the old cash in hand handshake or an envelope discretely slid across the table in the backroom of a dimly lit smoke filled bar?

Just curious. What other kind of handshakes are there besides the hand variety?

Didn't you know that's why they wear those little gym sacks. I slip some bills in at practice and before games with my bb's # and he's getting 51% playing time now.

Oh Eagle, I'm worried about what other things a coach could want me to shake in exchange for playing time, but that was a previous thread.

I do not know about Texans but the solar 98 pre-academy will be passes and Deleon coaching at the u13. Just e-mail one of them if you have an interest.
