The Sting Youth Soccer School (SYSS) is program that will begin in the East Texas (Tyler/Longview) area starting in August of 2008. The Sting Youth Soccer School promises to change the framework and structure of soccer in East Texas in a way that truly benefits all players. The goal is to provide the opportunity for all player’s to train in an environment that fits their skill level and fosters a learning environment where they are able to improve.  The idea is to provide quality training once per week to supplement recreational programs and provide a total soccer experience for players in the area without ever having to travel to surrounding areas to experience that quality training environment.

The Sting East Texas club coaches will be integrally involved in the SYSS, providing top quality training for the players’ and also providing coaching education for area coaches interested in expanding their knowledge base.  Competitive players from the Sting East Texas club will train within the SYSS once per week along with the recreational players, providing the opportunity to develop not only through quality coaching, but also through quality competition and a higher level training environment. 




How it works?
