Dear DCSM parents and friends,

I hope this email finds you well. We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership between First Coast Futsal Academy (FCFA) and Garra Soccer Academy with Duval Charter School at Mandarin.

This partnership is set to create exciting opportunities for the students at Duval Charter School by integrating soccer into their school experience. Starting in August of 2024, students will have the unique privilege of practicing on campus during school hours and participating in tournaments alongside FCFA and Garra Soccer Academy.

Here are some key highlights of the partnership:

1. On-Campus Practices: FCFA and Garra Soccer Academy will provide on-campus soccer practices during school hours. This allows students to engage in skill development, teamwork, and physical activity right at their school premises.

2. Tournament Participation: Duval Charter School students will have the chance to showcase their talent by participating in tournaments organized and played by FCFA and Garra Soccer Academy. This exposure not only enhances their soccer skills but also fosters a sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship.

3. Professional Coaching: Students will benefit from the expertise of professional coaches from FCFA and Garra Soccer Academy, ensuring high-quality training sessions and mentorship.

4. Pathway to High School and College: One of the primary goals of this partnership is to build a clear pathway for students interested in pursuing soccer at higher levels. By providing a strong foundation at the school level, we aim to guide students towards opportunities in high school and college soccer programs.

5. Streamlined Commute for Parents: With on-campus practices and events, parents no longer have to worry about shuttling their children between school and soccer clubs. This partnership simplifies logistics, making it more convenient for parents and enhancing the overall experience for both students and their families.

We believe that this collaboration will not only enrich the students' educational experience but also pave the way for their soccer aspirations beyond the school years. Soccer has the power to instill discipline, teamwork, and a sense of achievement, and we are excited to bring these values to the students at Duval Charter School.

We look forward to witnessing the positive impact of this collaboration and the growth of soccer enthusiasts at Duval Charter School.

Best regards,
