About
Coppell FC is the competitive soccer arm of Coppell Youth Soccer Association, serving families in Coppell and the surrounding Dallas–Fort Worth area who want structured player development beyond recreational play. The club runs Juniors, Academy, and Select pathways from early childhood through U19, with professional coaching, North Texas league competition, and optional skills clinics layered on top of team training.
Programs and age groups
Recreational soccer for ages 4 through 18 is offered through Coppell Youth Soccer Association, and most younger Coppell FC players begin in that recreational environment before moving into competitive teams. The Juniors program targets U6 players born in 2019 to build social, physical, and technical skills in a fun setting. Academy covers competitive boys and girls teams at U7 through U10 (birth years 2015 through 2018). Select serves U11 through U19 players (birth years 2006 through 2014) with twice-weekly practices, goalkeeper training included in fees, and small-group skills sessions available through a partner academy. The club also runs skills clinics, private skills, goalkeeper training, and a competitive summer camp for academy and select rosters.
Development approach
The club mission centers on helping competitive players reach their full potential in a positive environment, advancing confidence alongside technical, tactical, physical, and mental growth in a nurturing team setting. Training follows the U.S. Soccer development model with reality-based, experiential learning. At academy ages the curriculum emphasizes individual technique; tactical understanding and physical demands increase as players mature. Coppell FC encourages athletes to play for their middle and high school teams while maintaining a pathway toward collegiate soccer and beyond.
Tryouts and open training
Academy teams hold open training to evaluate new players twice per year, typically in November and May. Select open training for the 2026–2027 season runs from May 11 through the end of June; all new select players must pre-register with the child’s correct birth date so coaches can route communications to the right age group. Current roster players do not need to pre-register. Academy open training is aimed at players who already have recreational experience and are ready for a higher level—not at beginners, who should register for Coppell Youth Soccer Association recreational soccer instead.
Where teams train and compete
Academy teams practice on City of Coppell fields such as Wagon Wheel Park, Andy Brown West, and Andy Brown Central. U7 and U8 academy players practice once per week with their academy team and once with their recreational team; U9 and U10 academy teams practice twice per week with the academy. Academy league play includes Junior Boys Classic League, Girls Classic League JGAL, Texas Clubs Soccer League, and PIT League Elite, with metroplex venues in Lewisville, Plano, Dallas, the Colony, and nearby cities—often Sundays for U7/U8 and sometimes Saturdays for U9/U10 depending on league choice. Select teams practice twice weekly on grass and turf in Coppell, with access to CMS North turf for makeup sessions when city fields close. Select leagues include Frontier Conference, Boys Chamber Classic League, Girls Classic League, Plano Premier Invitational League, and U90C Regional Premier League, with most games on weekends and some weeknight fixtures each season.
Fees and registration
Academy players register and pay each six-month season (fall/winter and spring/summer): $525 per half-year for U7/U8 and $675 for U9/U10. Those fees cover team and home association costs, professional coaching, league and referee fees, City of Coppell lit-field practices, and goalkeeper training for players who want to specialize; optional skills training is extra, and a second league election adds a per-player fee. Select players sign an annual contract from July 1 through June 30 with $2,500 annual club fees and optional monthly payment plans. Select fees include two team practices per week, professional coaching, league and referee costs, league qualifier fees, two tournaments per year (with additional tournaments billed separately), goalkeeper training, and coach-directed clinics or preseason camp when offered; winter indoor league and private skills are add-ons, and Classic league qualification or a second league requires an additional $150 per player.
