Introducing your 2025-2026 Coach of the Year: Lindsy Taylor 🏆⚽ This first-of-its-kind award recognizes a coach who goes above and beyond — and this year, that honor belongs to Lindsy Taylor. Lindsy was nominated by fellow coaches, current players, parents, and team managers for this prestigious award, a true reflection of the incredible impact she has made on and off the field. Here’s what some of those who nominated her had to say: “She has confidence in my daughter and knew exactly how to pull the game out of her.” “She’s not just a soccer coach, she is a life coach to these girls.” “Her coaching style emphasizes growth, sportsmanship, and mental well-being, making her a role model who goes above and beyond to support the team.” “For Lindsy, coaching is more than a role, it is a calling — and you can tell she takes that calling seriously.” “I feel very proud that my daughter is part of her team.” “Her influence will be felt long after the final whistle, making her more than deserving of this recognition.” Director of Soccer, Jake Roberts, shared: “Congratulations on a very well-deserved award! I can think of no one that puts their blood, sweat, and tears into the girls that come through your teams more than you. You inspire a generation of athletes to be their very best, whilst also making them feel seen and heard. You've produced so many success stories for girls both on and off the field, and I can confidently say that there has not been a single girl who has bought in and not had their life transformed for the better.” Here’s to you, Lindsy! 👏🖤💜 #PRAASoccer #couragecommitmentcommunity @nc_youthsoccer @union_academy_charter

Reposted from @jasonasousa Most sports parents say the right things. But they say them at the wrong time, in the wrong way. The car ride home is not a debrief. It is a recovery window. What you say in those 10 minutes shapes how your child shows up next game, not your halftime pep talk, not your training schedule. 5 phrases that remove pressure instantly 👇 Save this. Your athlete needs you to remember it on the hard days. Share it with every sports parent you know #PRAASoccer #couragecommitmentcommunity

Huge congrats to Adair Cardenas! ⚽️🏆 We are incredibly proud to announce that Adair has been officially invited to join Phase 3 of the @charlottefc Discovery Program for the 2025-26 season! Adair is the definition of a "homegrown" talent, and his journey through the ranks has been a joy for our community to watch. His story with PRAA Soccer began all the way back in U8 Rec, where his passion for the game first took root. From those early days, he progressed steadily through our Academy program and climbed every rung of the ladder through NCYSA’s Classic divisions. This spring, that dedication has taken him all the way to the Elite League, proving that hard work and commitment to the pathway truly pay off. This invitation to train at the Atrium Health Performance Park is a well-deserved milestone in his development. We are so excited to see Adair represent the Porter Ridge spirit on the big stage with Charlotte FC this summer. Go get 'em, Adair! 👑💙💜 #PRAASoccer #Couragecommitmentcommunity @nc_youthsoccer

Reposted from @playmetrics Another big announcement coming your way: @nc_youthsoccer is the latest state association to move their membership and competition operations over to PlayMetrics! We’re excited to work with the team and their member clubs to build a better future for NC’s youth soccer community.

The Womack family has been part of the PRAA Soccer family for 5 years and their passion for the game shows every time they step on the field! Jayson Womack serves as a U11/U12 head coach and also supports our younger players as a U8 assistant coach. His dedication helps shape players across multiple age groups, building both skills and love for the game. The next generation of Womack players is just as impressive - Jayce and Jaxon play on the U11/U12 Fury team, Brady plays for the U8 Rhinos, and Riley playing on the U6 team. If they’re not at Porter Ridge, you can probably find the Womacks putting in the work at Hemby Bridge Elementary—practicing up to 5 nights a week! That level of commitment is what makes our soccer community so special. Their enthusiasm, dedication, and team spirit truly embody what our association is all about. 💜🖤 #PRAAsoccer #soccercommunity #WeArePRAA
