            On Friday morning, our SCU staff arrived on site to assist with tidying the grounds by plucking weeds, brushing leaves, picking up trash, and power washing the sidewalk areas. These tasks helped give the facility a brand new refresh to help support people who may use the services offered at Family Promise.

            - This December our 2007/08, 2009, and 2010 GA Girls team traveled to Norco, California where they competed against top talent at the Girls Academy Winter Showcase. At this showcase there are +100 college coaches ranging from Division 1 to Division 3 schools where players are looking to show off their skills to hopefully continue their athletic career, and play at a university.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The showcase kicked off, December 4th, with our 2009, &amp;amp; 2010 girls hitting the fields first. Our 2010 girls competed against Sporting City Soccer Club's 2010 GA team, where they came out on top defeating Sporting City 5-1. Goals were scored by Vera Creager, who found the back of the net twice, Avery Bryant, and Aubrey Baker.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            On Day 2 of the showcase our 2007/2008 team took the field, playing against SDSC Surf's 2007/2008 girls GA. They were able to walk away with the first win of the showcase in a tight match against SDSC, coming out on top with a 2-1 win. Hailey Thibodeau had a stellar game, finding the back of the net twice.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Day 3 was a busy day for our girls as all three teams hit the field to continue their great start. Beginning the day bright and early, our 2007/2008 GA girls hit the field first at 8AM PST going against Rise Soccer Club 08/07 GA team. Shortly after, our 2010 GA team went against Tulsa Soccer Club at 9:45am PST, and our 2009 GA team went at 11:35 am PST. Battling til the final whistle our 07/08 girls were able to walk away with a tie against RISE soccer club, 1-1, with a header goal from Bella Bolin. Our 2010 GA girls came out on top defeating Tulsa Soccer Club 3-0. Callie Kuehner had herself a day, scoring 2 goals, and Aubrey Baker adding to the score with one goal.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Day 4 our 2009 GA girls faced Michigan Tigers FC 09 GA, and our 2010 GA girls went against Washington Rush 10 GA girls for their final day. Ending on a high note our 2010 girls defeated Washington Rush 2-0, and our 2009 girls CRUSHED Michigan Tigers 4-1, making this a successful trip and a relaxing trip back to the east coast.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            On the final day of the showcase our 2007/2008 girls hit the fields early at 8am PST facing off against RNY FC Youth 08/07 GA girls team finding the back of the next three times, and walking away with their second win of the showcase, 3-2.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Our 2007/2008 had such a successful performance while in Norco, that the girls finished the showcase at the top of Group K! Overall this showcase was a success trip for our GA teams, and led to a lot of exposure to college coaches for our players, and the club!

          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    
          irls Director Joey Messina, and Boys Director Vince Laleau, are no strangers to furthering their education in the coaching world, and this past year they embarked on their US B License course at our very own home fields, Viera Regional. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            This will not be the first coaching license that our directors have gotten before while coaching at Space Coast United. Six years ago, Joey, and Vince went across the pond to Wales, with our Foundation Director Nic Nazon, where they were set out to get their UEFA B License over the course of a week. While on this trip our directors were faced with learning the Welsh Way of soccer and how to appropriately plan and execute practice sessions. Crafting their own practice sessions, giving depth and reasoning as to why and where they would run certain position specific drills, and small sided games. They also learned about various soccer interventions and how to correctly use them during practice sessions so it would allow for players to have a high ball rolling time, and still understand the message from the practice. This course allowed for our coaches to bring back what they learn and implement with our coaches, by crafting what our clubs game model looks like, and what their practices would look like for coaches who come to the club.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            This coaching course is a prestigious achievement for our coaches considering the time that is takes to complete it, the rigorous class work that is completed at the in person sessions, and online, rigorous classwork that is to be completed, time commitment that it takes, and the small selection of coaches that are selected for this course. After six years out from their last course, our coaches have had years to prepare for their US B Course. This course spanned over the course of 6 months where they had to create a 6 week practice plan, 2 in person week sessions, +80 hours of coursework, and mentor meetings.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Our coaches wrap up with this course over December 21st, and we are excited to see and hear all that they have learned so they can bring it back to Space Coast United, and make our clubs even more elite.
           &#xD;

          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    
          fter nearly a decade of growing the game from the ground up, Joey Messina, Nic Nazon, and Vince Lalaeu are stepping into higher leadership roles at Space Coast United – and there’s never been a more exciting time for the club.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           All three directors started their SCU journeys as young coaches, grew through the ranks, and never left – proving that dedication, passion, and belief in a shared vision can drive real transformation. From coaching on local fields to traveling to Wales together to earn their UEFA licenses, their story is one of growth, grit, and lifelong commitment to the SCU family.

            Known for "coaching his daughters into a pair of centerbacks" – maybe a joke, maybe not

           Joey has seen it all on the girls' side – from humble beginnings in GCF, to breaking through into ECNL-RL, and now competing at one of the highest levels of club soccer: the Girls Academy. A massive credit goes to Scott Armstrong, our clubs director, whose vision and relentless effort were instrumental in bringing Girls Academy to SCU.

          &#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           With Joey, Nic, and Vince leading the way – and nearly a decade of shared history behind them – SCU is ready for its next evolution. These three leaders have seen how far the club has come, and they’re more fired up than ever to take it even further.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           From the grassroots to the global stage — the future is bright at Space Coast United.

      Girls Academy
    
  
  
     is one of the top-tier soccer leagues in the U.S., designed to help girls grow as athletes both on and off the field. With a focus on elite training, competition, and creating pathways to college and professional soccer, it’s the ideal platform for aspiring players.
  

    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
    
  
    For Space Coast United, this partnership is a major milestone. As part of the GA, the club’s top girls’ teams will now compete against some of the best teams in the country. The added exposure and higher level of play will provide players with the chance to showcase their talent on a national stage, making it easier for college scouts to spot them.
  

  
                  &#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
    
  
    What does this mean for the local community? It’s a huge win. Not only does it put Brevard County on the map for top-tier youth soccer, but it also gives local girls the opportunity to stay in the area while pursuing their dreams. They no longer need to leave the county to train at an elite level, making high-level soccer more accessible to families in the area.
  

  
                  &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
    
  
    The impact goes beyond the players. Local businesses will see benefits as families travel to Brevard for tournaments and matches, boosting the local economy. But the real story here is how this will inspire young girls in Brevard County and surrounding areas to dream bigger and push harder in their own soccer journeys.

          After three transformative years with Spacecoast United Soccer Club, Haris Memisevicbids farewell to the club, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, excellence, and leadership. As the Boys Director, Haris had become a cornerstone of the club’s development, overseeing both junior and senior boys’ divisions and maintaining the highest standards of play. His influence extended beyond just training; it was about shaping the future of soccer both on and off the field.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          During his time at Spacecoast United, Haris wore many hats. His most notable role was as the U14 Boys ECNL (Elite Clubs National League) Coach, where he mentored and developed some of the club’s most promising young talents. Under his guidance, the U14 team flourished, seeing not only improvement in their technical skills but also a significant leap in their understanding of the game. His tactical knowledge and ability to push players to achieve their potential were evident in every training session, and the results spoke for themselves, with the team achieving impressive performances on the national stage.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          In addition to his work with the U14 team, Haris was also the U12 Boys DCL Academy Coach. The DCL (Developmental Club League) Academy was designed for young, high-potential players, and Haris excelled in creating an environment where these boys could grow and refine their skills in preparation for higher levels of competition. It was clear that Haris was not only coaching the game but also instilling valuable life lessons of discipline, teamwork, and resilience.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          One of Haris’s standout roles at Spacecoast United was as a
          &#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           FAW Welsh Federation Coach Educator
    . In this capacity, he was responsible for teaching and evaluating coaches on the methodologies and techniques necessary for obtaining their UEFA coaching licenses. His expertise in coaching, combined with his extensive experience, made him a respected figure among fellow coaches. Through his mentorship, many coaches were able to achieve their UEFA certifications and elevate their coaching careers, a testament to his passion for soccer development at every level.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          As if this wasn’t enough, Haris is also pursuing his
          &#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           2025/26 UEFA A/Elite Youth A License
    , a prestigious qualification that will further solidify his standing as one of the top coaches in the world. His ambition to continue learning and growing in his profession is a reflection of his character—a constant drive to improve and offer the best for his players and peers.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Throughout his tenure at Spacecoast United, Haris not only trained young athletes but also took the time to invest in the next generation of coaches. He conducted numerous training sessions and workshops, sharing his knowledge with coaches at all levels. His approach was always collaborative, fostering a community where everyone could grow together. His philosophy was simple: if the coach grows, the player grows. And if the player grows, the club grows.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          But as with all great journeys, Haris’s time at Spacecoast United has come to a close. His departure is bittersweet for both the players and coaches who have had the privilege of learning from him. His leadership, passion, and dedication to the development of the club will not be easily forgotten.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          While it is a time of transition, Haris leaves with a sense of pride and fulfillment. The foundations he laid, the relationships he built, and the talent he nurtured will continue to have an impact for years to come. His next chapter is waiting, and the soccer world will undoubtedly continue to benefit from his vision and expertise.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Spacecoast United, while losing a key figure, is poised to continue building on the legacy that Haris helped establish. As for Haris, the road ahead is wide open, and whatever new ventures he embarks on, there is no doubt that his influence on the soccer world will continue to be felt—on fields, in coaching rooms, and in the hearts of players who had the privilege to work under his guidance.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Thank you, Haris, for everything you’ve given to Spacecoast United. The club will forever be better for it.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;

                    Honorees were chosen by conference awards committees, which included technical representatives from each of the ECNL Boys’ 12 conferences.

  Space Coast United Coaches Take Part in Foundation Division Training Session

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
                    Space Coast United’s Foundation Division coaches participated in a valuable in-house learning and training session designed to enhance how practices are run for our youngest soccer players. Led by Foundation Director Hugh Cousins, the session focused on ensuring that all coaches are aligned with the club’s curriculum and equipped to deliver high-quality, engaging practices for the players.
                  &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
                    During the training, coaches had the opportunity to walk through some of the core practice drills that will be used in the Foundation Division this season. The hands-on approach allowed coaches to experience the drills firsthand and understand the key elements of each exercise. This process is essential in helping them break down the drills and determine how to effectively run them in real-world scenarios.
                  &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
                    By participating in these sessions, coaches gained a deeper understanding of what is expected during training: how to clearly communicate the drills to young players, create a fun yet educational environment, and manage the timing and structure of each drill. The controlled environment gave coaches a chance to evaluate whether any drills needed modifications, ensuring that every session is appropriate for the age group and skill level.
                  &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
                    “We want to make sure that every coach knows exactly what they’re doing when they step onto the field,” said Hugh Cousins. “By taking the time to run through the drills, we’re ensuring consistency across all teams, which will ultimately help the players improve on a daily basis.”
                  &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
                    Sessions like this are vital to keeping coaches on the same page and aligning everyone with Space Coast United’s vision. The goal is simple: to provide a structured, enjoyable, and developmental experience for every young player, so they can continue growing as soccer players while loving the game.
                  &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
                    With all coaches now on board and ready to implement the training curriculum, Space Coast United is excited for the season ahead and confident that its players will benefit from the collective knowledge and preparation of the coaching staff.
