    I dont care about the football . (sarcasm)  ;D.. I want to know which sophmores are leaving soccer however as... Its rumors like this that start bad blood among a team.  :o  Why not go for the kicker to play basketball or a senior  who is great basketball player.  I am sure they would love to get out of the soccer program as its miserable.  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

    Thanks RIP.  Enjoy the updates on your daughter.  The schooling at Kelly is very strict and a good fit for alot of young men and women.  The majority of students at Kelly do not pay full tuition and like you said not all wealthy.  However they want their children to have a better or tighter rein on them thru school.  I have enjoyed it as the parents are so supportive and its pretty much like a club team.  In that the parents make it special for the kids.  again thanks

    I understand what your saying.  I would like to say a few things on this.  Jose asked  two years ago about coming to Kelly.  But didnt want to leave because his brother wanted to attend HF.  two years ago their brother approached me about the cost.  I explained its a sliding scale and depending on parents wages.  Subject was dropped.  This past year they both were interested in attending and the mom filled out paperwork.  Mikey their brother was hired to be the JV coach with or without his brothers.  The money he makes is not anywhere near enough to pay for one of  their education.  My salary for soccer probably wouldnt pay for their education. Mikey as you know is a great coach/ trainer.  He will be a big help as I have 44 kids in the soccer class.  Jose will get his scholarship for college from his club team he plays for. He is playing club at First Colony Eclipse and will be seen that way. Jorge on the other hand is more interested in Golf than soccer.  When spring rolls around he cant stay in soccer class because he wants to play golf. Speak to them or to their mom.  They will tell you.  I said over and over and over do NOT come just for soccer as the school and education is very disciplined and loaded with  homework.  On our bus trips I would say over half the players will do homework.  Over the season at one time or another they ALL do homework.  When season starts our soccer PE becomes a homeroom class as I make them do homework.  And yes you can ask and question any of them.  I would never ask a kid to come play soccer at Kelly for one major reason.  The first time I sit them or gripe and all their time there they will say. "You asked me to play ,  I could have stayed at (wherever high school)."  I do not and would never beg a kid to play club for me either for the same reason.  Jose and another player guest played for a Kelly club team.  If you noticed the club team was not a great team but by playing week after week in the league they will become decent before high school season starts.  HF had a club team a couple of years ago, and a very succesful high school season that year.  That will help your team more than anything you can do for them.  I dont care if we win a game in club and see to it they play many positions.  By doing this their chances of winning games is cut back. I am out to develop soccer players for high school. JC from Vidor came this year because of a disagreement between coach, parents and Jacob.  I have a text saved where the coach told me he would not allow the player back because of the incidents the season before.  That kid LOVES soccer and is a great great kid.  So to have a place to play he decided to come to Kelly.  And again I spoke to him and his father and told them to weigh out their options and asked the young man why he didnt want to settle his differences with the coach.  And encouraged him to do that.  I would be good with or without those players  because I have alot  playing club and working them in class.  With those players I have a couple of extra good players. Try to get your kids playing on Saturdays and getting some touches on the ball in game situations.  What I have just written you is the truth nothing is a lie.  When kids speak they may say they were recruited to other kids to feel special.  I have had several other players locally ask me about Kelly.  I told them the same thing.  Fill out the paperwork and see what your cost is.  The parents have to pay 150 dollars just to apply at Kelly. So most of them are not coming to see us.  All the rumors that I am out looking for players is a false statement.  I work with Micah , the keeper from PNG one on one quite a bit.  He is a great young man and keeper.  I have NEVER asked him to come to Kelly.  I have worked with the keeper from HF one time.  This kid has a lot of potential and great size for the position.  Also quite athletic.  Needs some confidence.  And I didnt ask him to come either. :)  I would love to have formed another  club team to get some other players that wanted to play  a place. So if you ever have a few looking to play on Saturdays let me know and you can combine and coach them yourself.  Thanks... hope this answered your  concerns.  There just isnt any money to pay for players.

    What private school are you speaking of.  The five years I have been at Kelly not one player has come thru the school, that didnt attend  the feeder schools for Kelly. Whether it be the Catholic schools in Port Arthur or Orange plus the schools in Beaumont.  Recruiting?  Please all you people  that say that players are recruited.  List their initials and tell me what promises are made to these players. Its great everyone wants to say its happened but nobody can ever pin point a person or a name. As for Colleges looking.  I have to disagree and agree with RIP.  I have had 6 players asked by college coaches seen playing for Kelly.  And one player by 4 different coaches.  All from playing thru high school soccer.  However like RIP said most major colleges only recruit thru Div One or Academy program and its players.  When you say that players are recruited ask yourself whose going to pay the 8 to 10 thousand dollar tuition these kids are required to pay.  Also whose going to do their homework and all the school work expected.  Last if you feel so strong call the private school coach and express your thoughts and ask questions about what is bothering you.  Sometime what you hear may not be at all what is the truth.  I for one would love to answer any questions you have.  And when people share their tales,  it seems that none of the people or names can be spoken.  I have found it enjoyable to actually develop a jv player to be a varsity or to make players out of what we have at Kelly.  Which is a school of 410 boys and girls.  If other schools would try and teach and develop players all soccer in the area would excel. Again please let me know of any recruiting stories being told.

    Probably a matter of.  To run the air and up keep and taking care of this facility wil take money.  So having time rented and making money to support is hasnt worked out yet. Do not know if this is correct but just figuring that may be a problem.  It is an extremely good idea and a nice facility, hope they can take care of it once it is open.
