The Literacy Project
Fort Worth, Texas • Under 8 - Under 13
The Wrexham Texans Football Academy (WTFA) Literacy Project is a program created to support local Elementary and Middle schools using football (soccer) as a vehicle to promote reading and writing levels in both boys and girls. The project has and continues to be implemented throughout the City of Fort Worth Parks and Rec Department during the summer months at community centers across the city. To date, almost 200 children have had access to the project which has elevated reading levels while also improving physical activity levels using the game of soccer to enhance this.
What are people saying about Coach Merola?
“Whilst playing ECNL under Coach Merola he helped me develop my game as an offensive minded player which helped open up pathways for me to play in England. The knowledge he has of the game and experience of working with all kinds players makes him an excellent coach that anyone would be lucky to play for.”
“Coach Tony was such a positive influence on my son and his team. At the beginning of the season they looked like they were 1 level above bumble bee soccer but by the end of the season were using the entire field and playing positions properly. He connected with the kids through their passion for soccer and helped them continue to love the sport.”
“It has been great to see Tony's pathway take him from Wrexham FC to the US. I got to witness his work last year in the NPSL on the training ground and on matchday. His passion for the game and compassion for his players shone through. I wish him well into this new venture and I wish him every success.”
“Tony is hands down one of the most passionate and compassionate coaches I have had the privilege of working with. I have seen first hand his training methods and he is one I fully trust to train my groups.”
“Having known Tony for 35 years through footbalI, family and work, I can honestly say his passion for life and our beautiful game is second to none. Seeing him continue to coach in the game after his playing days shows his passion for the game and I was pleased to see him achieve his UEFA A licence through the Welsh FA and take that learning over to the United States. I had no doubt that Tony would go on to be a top coach and would recommend him to anyone who wants to develop within the game.”
“I've had the privilege of playing for Tony and he truly addresses all aspects of the game in the principles he has developed. His wealth of coaching experience in the UK and US shows. He connects with players on a personal level, helping individuals and teams improve and to perform in competition whilst making every session enjoyable. From youth grade to the professional player, I highly recommend working with Tony.”
