SILVER SPRING, Md. – On the heels of a tremendous turnout for the Monarchs' Second Open PDL Tryout on a balmy New Year’s Day, Real Maryland FC is pleased to announce the addition of Val Teixeira to the 2012 PDL Team as a player and coach.
Pending League and Federation approval Valdimar Teixeira will re-join the Monarchs for a second season in a row as a player and in a new role working within Coach Silvino Gonzalo’s coaching staff. During the acquisition of Teixeira in the latter half of the 2011 PDL season, the Monarchs saw resurgence and made a run for the playoffs only to narrowly fall short.
Teixeira has played and coached from the youth ranks through the professional ranks. He currently serves as a Volunteer Coach with Goucher Women’s Program, is assisting at Loyola Blakefield High School Boys Soccer Program and is assisting and heading the U15 and U16 Girls SAC United Teams.
In addition to his current positions, Teixeira has directed camps for almost every professional club he has played for over the past decade that include clubs such as Crystal Palace Baltimore (USL Second Division), Chesterfield Football Club (English League 2), G.D. Sanjoanense (Portugal 2nd Division), Rhode Island Stingrays (USL Second Division) and S.L. Benfica Juniors (Portugal).
“I think Val will continue to add value to the PDL team no matter what position he is playing or coaching in," said General Manager David Noyes. "Val Teixeira brings class and professionalism to the game both on and off the pitch.”
The Monarchs are looking for another positive season in the USL PDL South Atlantic Division. The South Atlantic may have some new friends this season so it should be a fun one to follow.
Real Maryland FC’s Super Y-League Academy will also have its second round of tryouts on Monday, January 23, Wednesday, January 25 and Thursday, January 26. After four positive seasons with many players and teams achieving many accolades, preparation for the 2012 Season continues on all fronts.
Real Maryland FC is a proud member of the United Soccer Leagues where it participates in the USL PDL and the Super Y-League. For information on how to become part of Real Maryland FC, please visit www.realmaryland.us
