Pensacola Futbol Club's select program recently affiliated with the Dallas Texans Soccer Club, rated the #1 Soccer Program in the country by Soccer America magazine.  Our select level teams, from ages U11-U18, will be known as the Dallas Texans Florida (DTF) beginning with the 2009-2010 season.  Our philosophy and commitment to player development is to: 

Promote the game of soccer.

Create an environment in which players can reach their full potential and achieve the self-confidence and positive self-esteem necessary to be successful both on and off the soccer field.

Develop individual skills and team tactics to enable players and/or teams to compete at the state, regional,
and national level.

Assist college bound players in obtaining scholarships.

We believe in the graduated development of soccer skills through exceptional coaching and advanced techniques.  We have an aggressive drive for victory; yet seek to accomplish this goal within the proper framework -- by instilling character and sportsmanship within the youth athlete.  Realization by all that soccer remains only a game is an inherent aspect of the philosophy of the Club that must always be recognized

WHY DID PFC AFFILIATE WITH THE DALLAS TEXANS SOCCER CLUB?

Director of Coaching, David Kemp, and the PFC Board recognize that the best way to bring people into the club and grow the game of soccer is to offer more and better opportunities for players and coaches to develop than any other club in the area. That is exactly what this affiliation does.

In the past, players could justify playing at one club or another because all area clubs offered pretty much the same thing. With Dallas Texans Florida, there will no longer be any doubt where players – who truly want to excel and impact the game in local, high school, college or even national settings – should be.

By affiliating with an organization like the Dallas Texans, we gain access to a network of professionals and a wealth of information to guide us into becoming the best soccer club in the area.
