Just a really quick note to say that Phil will be on the radio with JB and Sandy tomorrow morning (Friday 20th) at 8.30 am on Mix 94.7 FM. We are running a number of promotions with radio stations over the next few weeks including a competition on The Zone (1300 AM) to win a trip to England to see English Premiership action up close and personal.
We've had lots of very positive feedback about the commercial - haven't had chance to catch it myself yet! The billboard is up and the stadium is being 'wrapped' as I write.
We are still looking for National Anthem singers so if you know anyone, please ask them to contact us.
9 days to go.........!!

Youth clubs
Does your youth soccer club want to affiliate with Austin Aztex?
That is the question I have recently asked more than 25 youth clubs throughout Austin and Central Texas. As part of our mission to grow the game of soccer throughout the community, the Austin Aztex FC is actively looking to find area youth soccer clubs to join forces with and share soccer resources. The youth clubs that choose to align with the Aztex will gain special access to our players for promotional events and training sessions. Additionally, each affiliate youth club will get to host their own youth club night at an Aztex home game this season. During each club’s night at the game, youth players will get the chance to participate in a variety of pre-game and post-game activities with Aztex players. The club will also be featured during that evening’s halftime activities.
Finally, there is another huge benefit to becoming an Aztex youth club affiliate as all member clubs will enjoy specially discounted ticket packages to Aztex home games. These ticket packages will not be made available to the general public. This is our way of helping young players catch a glimpse of more live professional soccer, which in turn will help the overall soccer developmental process. We want to do our part to help make this happen.
We already have 10 clubs signed up - does your youth soccer club want to join? If so, please contact me before March 13 to reserve your spot in our growing lineup of youth club affiliate members.

On the Air
As most of you have noticed, the Aztex brand has become more prominent in recent months. Whether it's our weekly mention by Mr. Barbaro at the Chronicle or stories in the Statesman, our coverage has increased as we've made more and more announcements. Starting today, and really picking up next week, it will increase dramatically. This morning Phil and Adrian will be at The Zone studios for a sit-down interview with the morning guys. Make sure to listen at www.sportsradio1300.com around 9:15. Then, on Monday, our commercial will be aired across a variety of stations on Time Warner. We shot it last week and we're hoping it's eye-catching. Think along the lines of follow the bouncing ball. Oh yeah, almost forgot, we'll have a billboard going up next week as well on I-35 heading south, just south of Parmer Lane.
And remember, this is just the beginning. There will be much more of the Aztex brand to come as we approach our first exhibition game against the Revolution.

Players and Tryouts
It's been my real pleasure this week to sign two of our '08 U23 players to professional contracts. Wes Allen and AJ Godbolt both took the chance to shine in the U23's and to show Adrian what they could do. So, it was really rewarding for me to sit down with each of them this week and agree their pro contracts.
It's particularly pleasing because this is what the Aztex is all about, giving local kids the opportunity to prove themselves and play soccer at the highest level. I hope this is just the first of many such local signings we will make in the coming months and years.
Both players are quite different. Wes is Mr. Dependable, a player who goes about the execution of his job quietly and efficiently, someone that it is easy for the fans to overlook but a player that coaches love!
AJ on the other hand is the play-maker, the kind of talent that can unlock a defense or make a killer pass. AJ has played at the highest level before and wants that chance again, he has something to prove.....watch out USL-1 defenses!!
With the USL-1 tryouts approaching fast I find myself thinking about how many Wes' s and AJ's we might have in Austin this weekend. Let's hope there are a few. At the U23 tryouts last year we recruited no less than six players that we hadn't seen before, including Wes Allen! Let's hope there are more "gems" out there for Adrian and the Coaches to discover. Please come out and join us at St. Eds this weekend and see if you can spot the next AJ Godbolt, it will be great to see y'all out there.
