Welcome To The Phoenix Website
     The Phoenix is a premier U-13 travel soccer team for girls born after August 1, 1994 sponsored by Chantilly Youth Association Soccer and coached by Cristian Linte a Romanian Soccer Professional and Assistant Coach Mike Mirda in Chantilly. The Phoenix team is made up of exceptional young players who train and play at a very competitive level. We play Washington Area Girls Soccer League (WAGS) which is comprised of advanced teams from Northern Virginia.

Coaching Philosophy-  Emphasizes Player and Team Development over winning at all costs. By focusing on teamwork and sportsmanship, the girls will take away skills that will allow them to be successful throughout their lives whether in school, at home, or at work. The team atmosphere will promote a sense of family amongst the players. We emphasize that the success of the team is based on a cooperative effort between all players. If we work together and try our best, we will be successful. At this age, the correlation between winning and the development of a soccer player is often very low. The entire emphasis of play will be on learning and the development of skills. If this is done properly, players will be more technically skilled, more tactically sophisticated, and better prepared for the stresses of high-level competition. Winning will take care of itself.

This close-knit team trains and plays hard, but has fun on and off the field.  We teach possession style of play, concentrating on strong technical and tactical skills development. We also supplement our program with speed and agility training from Hakim Alston's Triple Impact Program (www.tifitness.com) to enhance our players' athletic performance and minimize soccer related injuries.
