Overview
Over the years clubs have approached us to form an affiliation, and share methods that have driven our success. We have formed affiliations when we felt that the potential affiliate shared our philosophy of putting quality soccer and concern for player development first, attracting great coaches and supporting them as the leaders of the organization, and operating with maximum administrative efficiency.
The Dallas Texans Soccer Club is very proud to have affiliations all over the country and around the world. The club and affiliates are working together to provide a safe and educational environment for children to play the sport that they love.
Having now experienced the benefits of a larger organization of affiliated clubs, and with our goals firmly in mind, we have decided to share our philosophy and development methods teamed with our proven success on a broader scale to any club that shares our philosophy.
It is our intention to create a national level cooperative club organization that builds on that philosophy and shares ideas, coaching methods, administrative guidelines and more, to the benefit of all of the clubs in the organization, and their coaches, players, parents, sponsors and other partners.
