Dear boys soccer parents,

I encourage all Parkview players to seek out good coaching and competitive playing opportunities during the next nine months so we can continue to grow our program. I am a co-founder of the Springfield Legends Soccer Club, with which we have a partnership at the middle and high school levels with Nixa Soccer Club called Southwest United. Our program has a lot to offer (it is fine with me, however, if players choose to play in other clubs).

Southwest United plans to field two high school boys teams this year–a U16 team and a U18 or U19 team. Our head coach is Drew Moore, the assistant coach for the Missouri State University women’s program. Players will not a find a better coach in town than Drew.

Here are the tryout dates:

To register for tryouts, families need to go the link below, set up an account, and click on “Register Now”. They will then need to select “2012 High School Boys Tryouts” under “Available Programs”. They need to keep clicking “Next” at the bottom of the page, filling in requested info as they go, until they reach and finish the “Checkout” screen.

Cost is less than the other clubs in town, but players should still plan on a total of $500-600 (final amount my differ from this; payable in installments and includes uniforms, five+ months of training fees, league fees, and tournament fees). Some scholarships are available on a need-based basis. A local-competitions-only program may be offered as well that would cost significantly less than amount mentioned above. More information will be shared at the tryouts.

Players can contact me or my brother Cliff Nurnberg (417-818-8634) for more information.

Thanks,

Coach Nurnberg
