As a representative of one of Forsyth County’s most successful soccer organizations, the FFSC Board continually seeks ways to offer the best in soccer for our community’s recreational, intermediate and advanced players.  In an effort to increase opportunities and provide an even greater level of service, we are pleased to announce the upcoming merger of the Forsyth Fusion Soccer Club with Atlanta Soccer Academy to form the United Futbol Academy (UFA).

The combined strengths of each organization will provide a superior soccer program at all levels of play, making this already widely popular sport even more accessible. The combined resources of each organization will also enable all soccer players in our community to enjoy soccer at their level of enjoyment and compete at their highest level of ability.

United Futbol Academy will be under the leadership of Iggy Moleka as Executive Director of Coaching, Gaucho Pinho as Executive Director of Specialized Training, Don Schultz as Executive Director of Operations, and Deo Moleka as Executive Director of Development. The leadership team brings more that 46-years of combined experience to the United Futbol Academy in training, development and the operations management of a soccer program.

The combined organizations bring strengths in communications, training programs, and team development as well as strong relationships with the Forsyth County Parks & Recreational Department and other soccer organizations throughout the world.

The Atlanta Soccer Academy and Forsyth Fusion Soccer Club will continue operating through the end of the Spring 2010 season.  No changes will be made with teams or uniforms during this period.

United Futbol Academy will hold combined select tryouts starting the first of June 2010 and all of the current facilities are available for use of this event as well as in the future.  All team formations will be determined for Fall 2010 during this combined tryout process. Anticipated coaching assignments for the Fall 2010 season will be posted in early May.

The United Futbol Academy will be open for registration for both select and recreational programs by April 26, 2010.

The Atlanta Soccer Academy and Forsyth Fusion Soccer Club will cease operations as independent organizations on May 31, 2010.

Additional information is located on the UFA website www.unitedfa.org.  We look forward to serving you and this community for years to come.

Jon Michaud - President, Forsyth Fusion Soccer Club

Bert Leonard, well known in Georgia coaching circles and currently an ODP coach, has worked over the last several years to develop the use of video analysis tools to better understand what actually occurs in a game. Bert has become one of the leading proponents and experts in this field in the US, attracting many to this approach. His work has continued to expand to cover programs at the highest level, including leading club teams, prominent college programs, and others.

Recently, Bert has begun working with the US Women's National Team program to provide comprehensive video analysis of their games.   Congratulations, Bert ,and keep Georgia Soccer proud of your efforts!

You need to check out this site ... it's devoted to bringing the 2018 or 2022 FIFA World Cup™ to the United States. I just signed their petition to bring games to Atlanta and you should too! Here's the address:

http://www.gousabid.com/atlanta

Look, we've heard it before -- Americans don't care about the game of soccer, other countries have better players, better fans, and are more deserving of the games.

Well, this is our chance to prove the doubters and the world wrong, once again. This is our opportunity to show the world we have a deep passion for the game.

Be part of the grassroots movement to bring the FIFA World Cup™ to the United States.

Even more important, if Atlanta has a ton of support, it has a better chance of being included as an official city in the bid. Please, sign the petition to support Atlanta.

Thanks

In their continuing efforts to include and provide information to the total Georgia soccer community on all aspects of soccer, including college soccer, Georgia Soccer has linked all the college soccer schedules in their web site - www.gasoccer.org

These college schedules can now be found at www.gasoccer.org, under the ‘STATE INFO’ by clicking on the ‘COLLEGE SOCCER LISTINGS’ drop-down menu item.

As they progress into more website enhancement, Georgia Soccer will continue to add more info and interactivity to their site.

In addition, Georgia Soccer plans to add the following, based on recent feedback they received from college soccer coaches throughout the state:

1. College soccer article of the month - short articles about the college recruiting process, what college coaches look for, what the life/schedule of a college soccer player is like, and more information that would be helpful to young players preparing for college.

2. National ‘D’ coaching courses exclusively for current college players at a few Georgia area college campuses exclusively for college soccer players. These courses will be instructed by Jacob Daniel, the State DOC (Director of Coaching), and will be offered for the student athletes at an incredible discount of $25 per player. These courses normally run $125 for members of GA Soccer and $500 for non-members of GA Soccer.

3. Regional Coaching Symposiums. Georgia Soccer is planning 3-4 regional coaching symposiums for our youth coaches to be held at area Georgia college facilities. These symposiums will offer coaching topics not covered by the standard coaching courses. Plans are for these to be one-day events on Sundays starting in spring/summer of 2010. College team players may be used for the clinics or also youth players from the local clubs or a combination of both. Selected sites will provide the ideal geographic coverage of the state.
