FC Prosper Dynamos - Holding Open Practice Sessions!

The FC Prosper - Dynamos 04 Soccer Team is looking for 2-3 players to add to our current group of Core players…

The Dynamos are coming off an undefeated season (20-0) in the Plano Premier League white division, we are looking to take our team to the next level and we need a couple of talented players to help get us there. In addition to going undefeated in the PPL, we also tested the team by playing against classic level teams in a handful of tournaments. We are hoping to utilize the experience that we gained by playing Classic level teams to qualify for Division III of the Classic League at the end of May. For details about our past season please use the link below to access our Gotsoccer team page.

We will be opening up our Practice Sessions in May. Please reach out to me for additional details if interested at the following email address fcprospersoccer@gmail.com

ABOUT US: We are an independent club based in Prosper Texas, that has been competing at the select level for 2 years. What started as a group of rec players, has evolved into a very competitive select-level team. Our team is made up of players from Prosper and other surrounding areas such as Celina, Frisco, McKinney, Aubrey. These boys are hard-workers and play with a lot of heart and desire. We practice twice a week (Monday & Thursday) in Prosper.

ABOUT THE COACH – MARK LOERTSCHER: I have been coaching select soccer for 4 years now, 2 years as an Assistant Coach with FC Prosper 94-95 boys, and 2 years as Head Coach of FC Prosper – Dynamos 04-05 boys. I recently received my USSF National “D” Coaching License and am constantly looking at ways to increase my knowledge as a coach. My proudest achievement as a coach is my retention rate from year to year. I take pride in the amount of players that want to return and play for me.

COST: The cost of the 2017/2018 season will all depend on if we are able to qualify for the Classic League or not. Personally I do not charge/collect any money for coaching fees. This is a “not-for-profit” team. All of the money that is paid goes directly to the cost of playing, I am not running a business. Yes, select teams can still be successful without having to charge a ton of money.

This is what the expected costs should look like next year depending on what league we play in.
• Classic League (if we qualify): $1,000 + Uniform
• Plano Premier: $850 + Uniform
***These estimated costs will cover league fees, team fees, ref fees, registration fees, field rental, and approximately 6-7 tournaments.

As an example of what we were able to do this past year. Each player contributed $830 for the entire season, with that $830, and by the end of the season we will have played a full season in the PPL, plus 8 tournaments, for a grand total of 54 games. Doing the math… $830/54 games = $15.50 per player/per game.


NEEDS: 2-3 players, preferably center-back or wing-back, and striker (position #’s 2,3,4,5,9). We will be moving to a 4-3-3 and will be shuffling around a bit, so each position will be earned.

Please reach out to me if you are interested and feel like this would be a good fit for your son. Select experience is a must, preferably experience in the Classic League or upper PPL League.

Avoid this team at all costs! Coach is unethical and primary focus is on his son (daddy coach).

Well, I can honestly say that this is the first time I have been accused of being unethical. I realize that this is an open forum with anonymous people lurking out there, so I open myself up to some unfair criticism whenever I post something. Oh well...

I guess I don’t understand how somebody who dedicates his time and energy (while not collecting a paycheck) to help a group of boys in the community, is viewed as unethical.

I am guilty of being a “Daddy Coach”. I think most Independent teams have Dad coaches, right. My son loves this team that he is on now, he is playing with friends from the school, community, and church and has never been happier, that is what drives me to continue putting in the time and energy. The boys on this team have great chemistry with each other and it showed on the game field this year. I have seen my son get better while playing with these boys and he continues to love the game. All boys currently on the team (with the exception 1 move-out) plan to return to the team next year. I am pretty sure that if I was truly unethical, and favored my son, that they would not want to return.

I am also getting some great help from other amazing dads that also dedicate their time and energy to keep this thing going while being a positive influence on these boys, and for that I am grateful.

Gameday identified the Dynamos back in January and has seen this impressive young squad trending up ever since. I believe that this is the first time that we have observed a team lay out the team vision so clearly, including projected costs- here in the Forums.
Pay no attention to the haters Coach as it points toward your early success.

Mark-
I wouldn't worry about the haters. Keep doing what you are doing. It's very impressive! Good luck with qualifying for Classic. Your team deserves it!
