What’s up everyone 👋
My name is Coach Eric, and I’m the founder of True Grassroots Soccer (TGS).
I started my journey with just a ball, a few kids, and a vision to build something real from the ground up. No big funding, no connections—just consistency, passion, and a commitment to developing players the right way. Today, I run a growing soccer academy in the Dallas area, working with multiple teams, coaches, and families every week.
TGS is built on one belief: you don’t need everything to start—you just need to start.
Inside this community, my goal is to help you do exactly that. Whether you’re trying to start your first team, grow an academy, or become a better coach, I’m going to give you the real game—not theory, not fluff, but what actually works.
We’ll cover everything:
⚽ How to get your first players
⚽ How to run effective practices
⚽ How to build your brand
⚽ How to manage parents and payments
⚽ How to grow and scale your academy
This is a space for builders. Coaches who want to create something of their own and make an impact in their community.
I’m here to guide, support, and grow with you—but most importantly, I’m here to keep it real.
If you’re serious about building something from scratch… you’re in the right place.
Let’s get to work 💪
