]]> http://www.dfeeters.com/home/605524.html Time to Grow! 11/17/2011 09:39 PM http://www.dfeeters.com/home/579932.html

Since 1978, the D’Feeters Soccer Club has grown to be one of the most successful all-female clubs in the country. We have produced great teams with great players who have gone on to play at the collegiate, women’s professional, and national level. Our accomplishments are vast, and the model we have had in place has worked well for us.

There’s an old Chinese proverb, “Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.”

This proverb holds true in relation to soccer and how it has evolved in North Texas and across the country. Standing still, is not an option. In order to continue to compete at the highest possible levels, the D’Feeters Soccer Club is growing. Effective today, the D’Feeters Soccer Club will expand to a two tiered team format. One tier will be known as D’Feeters ECNL, to fulfill our commitments to the Elite Clubs National League. The second tier will become D’Feeters Premier, to fulfill our commitments to the communities in which we serve and maintain a competitive presence in the Lake Highlands Girls Classic League.

We look forward to meeting the needs of youth soccer and continuing a long standing tradition of player development!

From the almost 90 clubs that applied for membership, the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) has announced the addition of 14 clubs for the 2011-12 season, increasing the total number of ECNL member clubs to 66.
 
The clubs granted membership for the 2011-12 season are:
Blue Valley SC (Kan.)
Colorado Storm SC (Colo.)
Dallas Texans SC (Texas)
Eagles SC (Calif.)
East Meadow SC (N.Y.)
Gwinnett Soccer Association (Ga.)
Las Vegas Premier SC (Nev.)
McLean Youth Soccer Association (Va.)
Penn Fusion Soccer Academy (Pa.)
Richmond Strikers (Va.)
So Cal Blues (Calif.)
Sockers FC (Ill.)
TSC Hurricanes (Okla.)
World Class FC (N.Y./N.J.)
 
The 66 ECNL member clubs will be separated into eight regional conferences as the ECNL expands to a full 25- to 30-game season in 2011-12. Conference alignments will be released in the coming weeks.
“For the second year in a row, we have added some tremendous clubs to the ECNL, each with great leadership and history in developing soccer players,” said ECNL President Christian Lavers. “We are very excited about the regional conference structure that is being created for the 2011-12 season for all of the ECNL member clubs, and feel it will have a tremendous impact on player development in all our markets.”
Acceptance decisions were based on a variety of different factors, including: 1) long-term club history in female soccer, 2) long-term history in development of female soccer players, 3) club leadership and management structure and 4) geographical considerations. 
“These decisions are always very difficult, and there are a lot of very good soccer clubs and leaders in this country,” said ECNL Vice President Doug Bracken. “With the 14 clubs that we have added, and the expansion in our schedule, we feel that the ECNL is in a wonderful position to positively impact youth female soccer for years to come.”

From: Office of the City Manager
Date: 10-20-2009
Subject: Presentation of the 2009 Sports Hall of Fame Award
Presenter: Jeff Fuller, Director of Parks and Recreation

EXPLANATION:

At the recommendation of the Farmers Branch Sports Council and the Parks and Recreation Board, the Farmers Branch Hall of Fame Award was created in 1988. Individuals who have served unselfishly by volunteering their time and efforts to assist youth in the City’s athletic leagues are named to the Hall of Fame. Past Hall of Fames recipients are Truett Ball, Nancy Watten and Raymond Leoan.

The nomination for 2009 is Ramy Bidopia from the D’Feeters Soccer Club. The Farmers Branch Parks and Recreation Board approved his nomination at their September 19th meeting.

Ramy Bidopia has been with the D’Feeters Soccer Club since 1986 and has played an active role serving on the board each year and as President of the club for the past five years. The D’Feeters Soccer Club has been a great partner with the City of Farmers Branch, allowing many Farmers Branch residents to play and hosting many beneficial camps open to everyone. The Thanksgiving Showcase has generated over 14,400 room nights over the past 18 years, which has generated hotel room night revenues exceeding $1,000,000.00 for local hoteliers.
This showcase is a huge success because Ramy ensures that everyone in the D’Feeters Soccer Club participates. The D’Feeters also host an annual banquet at the OMNI Hotel with over 200 people in attendance each year.

Ramy’s commitment to the City’s youth has had a positive effect on the Farmers Branch community. He is a strong role model and an effective advocate for youth and youth soccer. The City is fortunate to have Ramy Bidopia and the D’Feeters Soccer Club in the community working with Farmers Branch youth.
