The Literacy Project
Fort Worth, Texas • AGES 5-11
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.

Develop and improve soccer specific skills through a customized training program designed to suit players current skill level. Each session is tailored to meet individual technical needs and improve decision making capabilities. You can have a full hour of detail and reps from Coach Merola for $70 and we have two turf locations we use in Haslet and Saginaw.
What are people saying about Coach Merola?
“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.”
“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.”
“Tony Merola coached my son and with his positive coaching style and leadership, he re-built my son's confidence and restored his love of the game. His ability to connect with individuals with his passion for the game is hard to find.”
“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.”
“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.”
“In addition to improvements in his technical skills, our son's football IQ has flourished since he started working with Coach Merola. He's not only a smarter player, he's having more fun on the pitch.”
