Puma FC GROWTH AND EXPANSION
Puma FC is proud to present Wayne Evans and Daniel Stevens as new members of our soccer family.
May 14th, 2012. Overland Park, KS:
In order to provide only the best opportunities for our talented soccer players, Puma FC proudly presents Wayne Evans and Daniel Stevens as new members of Puma FC. Wayne and Dan will be a very important part of our soccer family continued growth. Their tremendous playing and coaching experience will be a great addition to our already established coaching staff. In order to strengthen our club structure we believe there are two very important steps that need to be made. First, is to expand to other metropolitan locations and second is the creation of an Academy Program that will provide additional higher level training opportunities for youth soccer players in the Kansas City Metro area and beyond. With the addition of Wayne and Dan, we are on the path to both of those efforts.
Wayne Evans is a former professional soccer player for Manchester United for 9 years, which included 4 years as a full time professional. He has played and practiced with some of the best players in the world, such as David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Michael Owen. During that period Wayne was also coached by the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson and former England national team coach Steve Mcclaren. As a coach himself, he has trained over 50 NCAA D1 players and 2 current English Premier League players. Wayne will hold the position of Director of Player Development within Puma FC. It is also very exciting to say that Wayne is the founder of the Evolution Soccer School, www.evolutionsoccerschool.com where players can commit to improving individual skills in a highly intensive practice session.
Dan Stevens is a former Collegiate goalkeeper for Penn State, and a founder of KC Core Soccer Club. Dan has a combined playing and coaching experience of over 30 years. His expertise in goalkeeping practices is something that not too many coaches in the KC area can offer, we are very excited that Dan has decided to join forces and share his soccer experience with Puma FC and his strong and dedicated following of teams, players, and parents from KC Core Soccer Club. His knowledge and passion for teaching the game in the way that boosts confidence, dedication, respect, and fun is the best way to guide young athletes. Dan will serve as the new Director of Operations for Puma FC. We are very happy to have him as part of our Puma FC family. Dan also brings an additional coach and some teams and players from the Lawrence, KS area to Puma FC. We will all work very hard to provide a quality club atmosphere to the families just west of Kansas City who will be training locally and playing in the Heartland Soccer League as of the fall of 2012 and competing under the Puma FC shield.
As a player and family oriented club Puma FC is devoted to providing a competitive and recreational soccer development program for girls and boys of all ages. Creating a positive experience and a fun atmosphere among players, parents, and coaches is an essential emphasis that guides us to develop young athletes. Our program provides a unique opportunity for soccer players to maximize their potential through progressive exercises that are individually challenging, but yet appropriate for the age group and ability of each player.
Starting June 2012, Puma FC is opening a new chapter in the club’s history, and we welcome all interested families to join the fastest growing soccer club in Kansas. Come join us and become part of our soccer family! We are Soccer, We are Puma FC! www.pumafc.org
