A smooth transition...

Since joining the Austin Aztex in a full time role as their Camp Director and Youth Club Liaison this past August, my daily routine has changed dramatically.

Before as a local youth club coach, I was in the home office throughout the day and at the fields every night and weekend. These days I'm a bona fide nine t0 fiver battling the Austin traffic! Instead of meeting nightly with the kids teaching them soccer skills, I'm now spending my days meeting with local youth club officials and coaches in an effort to build working relationships within our community.

Honestly, it has been a smooth transition and that is very much down to all the local club officials and coaches that have gone out of their way to set aside time out of their busy schedule to meet with me and the Austin Aztex. Yes, pro soccer has arrived in Austin and it is here for everyone to enjoy. I'm looking forward to continuing to have dialogue with all the youth clubs as we work together to grow the beautiful game in our community.

Finally, Aztex Soccer Camps begin this Holiday season. Our first camp will run December 22, 23, 24 out at the WAYA fields off Cesar Chavez near Town Lake, while the second camp will run December 29, 30, 31 out at The Quarries of Hyde Park Baptist Church off the Mopac turnaround just north of Braker Lane. Both camps will run from 8:30-Noon and all campers will receive first-class instruction from professional Aztex players and camp staff, a soccer ball, camp t-shirt, and stadium scarf.
