Ajax of Arlington is a premier U12 WAGS team and is always willing to consider dedicated, talented, competitive players with the work ethic, discipline, athleticism, and desire to play at the highest levels. Ajax will compete in WAGS and several premier elite tournaments in the 2008-2009 seasons. We offer a positive and fun, yet highly competitive player development Academy-style environment for our players. Please contact Coach Chris for a tryout or to join the girls as a guest in training or competition.
Ajax is professionally coached and trained by Chris Smith (NSCAA National and National Youth diplomas, USSF National Youth License, USSF C license, Head Coach VYSA ODP North District Girls Academy) and supported by the Arlington U12 Girls Academy staff.
Ajax is also trained by several distinguished professional coaches including 2005 VYSA Coach of the Year -
Gayle Smith Wilson (USSF A license) and 2003 New Mexico State Coach of the Year -
Ann Cernicek (USSF A license).
As part of the Arlington Travel Soccer Club,
Ajax have a wide-range of resources at our disposal. We play on the best fields in Virginia where Arlington features the highest concentration of premier Field Turf surfaces per capita in the US. The availability of these fields allow us to stage several scrimmages and friendlies throughout the year, several camps throughout the summer, and in-season functional and technical training with our club’s most experienced coaches. We train through the winter at our local indoor Field Turf facility as well as at Marymount University where a comprehensive futsal program is available to us. We host the
Arlington Spring Invitational Soccer Tournament (ASIST), a SILVER rated [GotSoccer] event which serves as a warm-up to the Jefferson Cup. [In 2007, the ASIST was the only event that played its entire schedule uninterrupted in spite of heavy snowfall, which cancelled nearly every other event in the region.] Lastly, we get to work with a first-rate coaching staff featuring several professionals with ODP, college, high school, and USSF A license coaching experience.
Please contact
Coach Chris to make arrangements to join
Ajax for a training session or for consideration as a guest player in competitions.
