Team Pressure once again brought home the championship after a thrilling last minute goal in the finals of the U12 Girls division of the Gulf Coast Academy Classic. Congratulations on another job well done!
The FC United U12 girls (Team Pressure) and FC United U9 Girls (Quickshots) both won the Gobbler Cup Tournament in Houma, LA this past weekend. Team Pressure had to beat the #1 team in Louisiana to take home the championship. The U9 Quickshots played tough soccer in the U10 Division only allowing one goal against them during the tournament in the final game. Congratulations teams!
Congratulations goes out to Coach Chuck Rollins U10 FC United Boys All Stars and Coach Russ Carothers U9 FC United Girls All Stars for reaching the finals in the Crossroads of the South Tournament in Jackson, MS during the weekend of October 29. Both teams went undeafeated going into the finals only to lose out by one goal in the last few minutes of each of their games. It was a tough loss but both teams did a fantastic job against some tough competition. Great job All Stars!
Congratulations to Russ Carothers, Dominick Fimiano and Steve Huckabee for successfully completing the National Youth License course.
The National Youth License is designed to provide club directors of coaching, youth coaches, physical education teachers, and soccer administrators with the knowledge to successfully structure soccer environments for children aged 4-12. The course combines both classroom (theory) and field (practical) sessions and concludes with written, oral and practical examinations.
This extensive course explores the role of the coach as a facilitator; the physical, mental and emotional needs and capabilities of players from 4-12 are explored; the lessons from developmental psychology are explored; and the art of teaching is explored. The National Youth License is administered and instructed by U.S. Youth Soccer.
Carothers also holds a National E License and Huckabee holds a State D License and Goal Keepers License.
