Date: May 20th, 2019

Pacesetter Soccer Club is proud to announce an addition to the structure for the upcoming 2019-2020 season. The new addition will allow for more oversight over programs and provide a solid pathway from small sided to the 11v11 game.  As part of the change we have been evaluating and redesigning our curriculum for the U7 – U12 age groups. 

We are also pleased to announce that Carl Francazio will be stepping into the role of U7 – U12 Boys Director. Carl has been with the club for 3 years as a coach and has currently been serving as an intern.  Carl is from Virginia Beach, VA where he played for Beach Soccer Club, he represented Virginia in their ODP program and played for Virginia Beach FC (NPSL) Youth Academy. Carl has a bachelor’s degree in Sports Management.  Carl will officially start June 15thbut will be overseeing tryouts for the U7 to U12 Boys. 

Danny Fisher Executive Director “We are very excited about the addition to the structure and the direction in which the club is going. Our goal at the Youth level is to provide solid technical training to our players and support to our coaches, both Dan and Carl share the same vision for the youth side, and I am excited for them to start working on the next generation of Pacesetter players. Ella and Greg have been at the club for several years and their knowledge of the game will be critical for our u13-u19 players and teams. They both have a wealth of experience in the college game to help with the recruiting process”

Pacesetter Soccer Club Press Release March 22nd 2019 

Pacesetter Soccer Club is proud to announce that it has been accepted into the Boys Elite Clubs National League (Boys ECNL) for the 2019-2020 season. Pacesetter will be the only boys’ soccer club in Northwest Ohio to compete in this prestigious league. We will be joining other elite clubs; Ohio Premier (Dublin, OH) and Ohio Elite (Cincinnati, OH) to represent the state of Ohio.  

Boys’ teams in the U14 – U18 (The Boys ECNL is considering adding a U13 division) age groups will be participating in the league. 

The Boys ECNL is the flagship league for club soccer on the national scale.  Pacesetter Soccer Club will now compete against the upper echelon clubs in the Midwest Region and across the United States.  

Participation in the ECNL will allow more exposure and benefits for players in the older age groups. In order to be accepted into this league, the club’s past history and current performance were examined thoroughly.  

Pacesetter Soccer Club Executive Director, Danny Fisher quotes: 

“This is an exciting time to be a member of Pacesetter Soccer Club.  Earning the privilege to compete at this level is a reflection of the progress that Pacesetter has made over the past several years.  Performing in the national spotlight will provide our players with an opportunity to display their talents to a larger pool of college recruiters.  Our entire staff, players, and parents should be exhilarated as we take on this new frontier together.”

More details will be communicated throughout the following weeks.  We will also be hosting a Pacesetter Community Meeting to answer questions regarding ECNL on a date to be determined.  For more information about what ECNL is and what clubs compete in the league, please visit http://www.boysecnl.com/about-boys-ecnl/.

We are currently awaiting the Girls ECNL to review our application.
