Dear Soccer parents and students,

We will renew our DIS Community game routine this Saturday at Anderson Bonner Field #3, reserved from 9:30 to 12:30. We'll try to begin at 10AM, after setting up the nets. Students from 10th grade and up are welcome, if they don't run too fast...

Anderson Bonner is off the Hillcrest ramp south of I635, on 12700 Park Central Blvd 75230

Story of Emo


I post this because this an interesting example of soccer development in the US. We sometime worry about size but if you take a moment, you can hear some interesting insights to this issue.

What is not talked about in this story is Emerson is pondering a deal with Newcastle United in England. He might be youngest US player to sign a professional deal.
Family time helps refine special qualities for Hyndman...link to complete story on topdrawersoccer.com

“The basis for everything ahead is to develop skill at a young age,” he said. “There are so many kids bigger and faster who just get by with size and speed, but it doesn’t take long until they are 14 or 15, and the technical players, the ones we hope to see later, have caught up. The problem is I think we lose a lot of those kids because they get discouraged with what goes on. Coaches spend all their time trying to win games and keep those big players around, they don’t really train, they just keep running and running. So the small players are not as effective (in that style) and they lose interest or whatever.”

DIS at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco May 18th

Do you want to have your child see David Beckham live?

A new chance is coming with the FC Dallas hosting the LA Galaxy on Sunday, May 18, 2PM at the Pizza Hut Park in Frisco. For $20 in the east Sideline, Section 124, Row 27 and 28, you will be able to watch a genuine MLS game with its stars; check the location on www.pizzahutpark.com, these seats are really close to the center, almost at the top of the section.

I have 40 seats reserved until Tuesday, April 15 for this event, that I want to propose to DIS Tigers first. Let me know before Tuesday as they are flying fast and the FCD won't hold them much longer!

Unfortunately, we won't be given a chance to access the field, as they give priority to teams buying a second set of tickets for another game, which I think we can commit to. However, we shall return later in the season to do it with much less restrictions and crowd.

Also, our coaches will perform the usual School Break Soccer Camp next week. Contact Yohannis Guirmahi fo more info, if you didn't get the camp brochure (yguirmahi@dallasinternationalschool.org)

On behalf of Sophie,

Philippe HABRARD
