Summer Soccer League
AFC is proud to be offering summer soccer to ALL U5 - U10 soccer players. This is a fantasic opportunity for your athlete to keep playing throughout the summer. We will assign PROFESSIONAL Soccer Coaches to work with ALL Players!
Where we play will vary on the number of players for each bracket. If enough players, we will form our own league and play small sided games outdoor. If not enough to form an entire league, we will form teams and play at other facilities. Some facilities require a North Texas Player Card ($20).
Cost for Season will be $150.00. This includes training with a Professional Soccer coach, all League Costs, and an AFC Summer League jersey. If a North Texas Player card is required by the Facility, that must be purchased by the player the day of the first game.
We will be opening registration the first week of May. For more information, please contact Eric Gilbert at eric@coachericsports.com

David Beckham: "The most important thing a child can do is put the ball at their feet and play. When I was a boy I had the ball at my feet everywhere I went. A training session or two each week would never be enough to acquire the level of skill a player needs and without skill it would be very difficult to continue to play this game for long."
