🚨 **A NEW CHAPTER FOR EFA WEST TEXAS** 🚨
We are excited to officially announce that **EFA West Texas is merging with EP Juventus for the upcoming club season.**
After months of conversations, planning, and consideration, we believe this is the right step for our players, families, and the future of our program.
Since EFA West Texas was founded, our philosophy has always been:
âš˝ **50% Soccer. 50% Values.**
We believe developing players is about more than winning games. It is about helping young athletes become confident, creative, disciplined, respectful, and committed teammates.
Our four core values will continue to guide us:
**DISCIPLINE • RESPECT • TEAMWORK • CONFIDENCE**
By joining forces with EP Juventus, our players will have access to a larger club structure, additional coaching resources, more training and competition opportunities, and a stronger pathway for continued development.
But while the structure may be changing, **our mission is not.**
We are not abandoning what we have built at EFA West Texas. The relationships, coaching philosophy, expectations, and culture that have been developed over the years will continue to be an important part of who we are.
Our mission remains simple:
**Develop confident and creative soccer players while teaching them values they can carry with them for the rest of their lives.**
We are incredibly grateful to every player and family who has believed in EFA West Texas and helped make this journey possible.
Now, we are excited to begin this next chapter with **EP Juventus** and see what we can build together.
**The name may change. The structure may change. But the mission remains the same.**
âš˝ **50% Soccer. 50% Values.**
đź’Ş **Discipline. Respect. Teamwork. Confidence.**
**The journey continues.**
— **Coach Ricardo Lara**
