Constance Smith, is the Fever United Club Director of Operations. A native of Clermont, FL, Constance began Fever United in 2007 with the hopes of one day operating as a youth academy that now features multiple boys and girls youth teams playing at a competitive levels of soccer in various local, regional and national leagues.
Fever United FC Club Director Constance Smith said, "Joining the UPSL will create a pathway to professional soccer for all players who graduate our club program or that return from college.
This will give them somewhere they can play locally and give them a chance to further their soccer development and national exposure. It's going to be great for us to be a part of UPSL, a national league."
Fever United FC girls and boys select teams compete in various local, regional and national leagues. Fever United FC is planning the UPSL side in coordination with the return of several former Fever United FC youth players from current collegiate commitments and other talented players from the Tarrant County area.
"There have been several clubs around the Dallas-Ft. Worth area that continuously get invited to exclusive leagues to help develop their respective players. By in large part, independent clubs are routinely overlooked for these player development opportunities”. Smith said, “We needed something for the returning college players as well as the players that are still in the area wanting to continue their soccer playing career and further develop from the club soccer experiences. That's why we're looking to be an integral part of the UPSL. This will give us the platform for those players and our coaching staff to get to the next level."
