Lonestar SC SA is excited to announce formal plans to begin playing selected teams up an entire age group where developmentally appropriate based on player ability and maturation level technically, physically and psychologically. This will begin in the U11 age group and may continue into U12 and U13 when the Lonestar professional staff believes it is in the best interest of the players and teams being considered.

Teams playing up a level will be identified with the “Dev” label in their team name. For example, the 02 Red SAN team would be re-labeled 01 Dev SAN for the coming year if playing up in the U12 age group.

Lonestar Soccer Club SA is very pleased to announce the appointment of Nick Hallam as its new Director of Coaching beginning June 2012.
 
Nick is currently with the Houston youth soccer powerhouse Albion Hurricanes Football Club (AHFC). Nick has spent the last 3 years at AHFC as their overall Technical Director managing all technical soccer aspects of their highly successful program. Nick was directly responsible for all 26 full time staff members including 5 program directors and coordinating the entire training program across 120+ teams from U8-U19 age groups located at 5 training locations in the Houston and Katy area.

Congratulations to our 97B Red SAN team for winning both challenge matches this weekend to qualifying for Premier Leauge - West for the Fall 2012 season.  Coached by Jimbo Parks, this team began as a Super 2 team their first year of competitive play. By qualifying for Premier League West, this team has now cemented their position as one of the top teams in the Texas/Oklahoma region. This is a great accomplishment for these young men...well done boys!

The US Youth Soccer Region III Premier League provides an opportunity for the most competitive teams in Region III (South) to play each other on a scheduled basis. The league will be comprised of boys and girls in the age groups of Under-14 through Under-18.

Each State Association decides what will be the criteria for selecting teams to be considered for inclusion in the upcoming Premier League season. Each State Association is invited to present at least two (2) teams in each age group/gender.

The US Youth Soccer Region III Premier League committee is comprised of a volunteer from each member State Associations plus the sub-region coordinators and a league chairman. There are no paid positions. To a person, the sole intent is to furnish the top teams in the region the opportunity to play the most competitive schedule for as little cost as possible.

CONGRATULATIONS  to the following Lonestar SC-SA players who have been selected to attend the 2012 Region III ODP Camps this summer in Alabama.  We are excited and very proud that they have the opportunity to spend time this summer with some of the best soccer players in the country.
