Coinciding with the Chelsea Academy's visit to the United States to play in the Dallas Cup this week, Chelsea Football Club has announced a partnership with Solar Soccer Club of Dallas, one of America's leading youth soccer clubs.
As part of the Chelsea youth club network, Solar Soccer Club will learn the Chelsea FC coaching philosophy and curriculum, host training sessions and camps with Chelsea coaches, benefit from Chelsea-sponsored tournaments and participate in player exchange programs.
Chelsea FC chief executive Ron Gourlay said: 'Our youth club network is designed to create long-term growth and sustainability of soccer in America by supporting elite youth clubs that provide the best soccer instruction and experience for local players.
'Dallas is a great sports city in America and the growth of soccer there at both the youth and professional level is significant. Partnering with Solar allows us to continue to help the development of soccer in Texas by staying closely connected to the community through a top club. Solar's mission of Soccer Excellence Through Development is perfectly aligned with our youth club network goals.'
Solar director of coaching Kevin Smith expressed his excitement: 'This is a big deal for our club and for youth soccer in the Dallas area.Chelsea is very selective in clubs they ask to join their network so for us to be on board further proves that Solar is among the elite clubs in the country. Using Chelsea FC's training curriculum and having their coaches involved with our kids will take our club to the next level. It's an exciting time for us.'
With more than 30 years in developing top soccer players in the Dallas area, Solar SC is proven to be a benchmark of elite soccer programs in the U.S.Solar SC alumni include a number of current professional players such as Corben Bone (Chicago Fire), Drew Moor (Colorado Rapids), Kenny Cooper (Plymouth Argyle) and more.
Chelsea announced our first youth soccer club partnership with CASL of North Carolina in July 2008. Other Chelsea U.S. youth club partners include Match Fit Chelsea of New Jersey, LAFC Chelsea of Los Angeles, the Baltimore Bays, Le Jardin Academy based in Hawaii and Soreno Soccer Club of Phoenix.
