Coyotes FC becomes newest member of NPSL Lone Star Conference
Coyotes FC has become the latest expansion club to join the NPSL, the league announced Tuesday.
The Temple, Texas-based side will compete in the Lone Star Conference in the league’s South Region beginning this year.
“We are pleased that Coyotes FC have decided to join the NPSL,” said NPSL director of membership development Dina Case in the release announcing the addition. “The NPSL has seen tremendous growth in the state of Texas over the past few years. It was a goal of the league to continue its strategic growth in the state of Texas by penetrating more centralized markets. Adding a strong ownership group in Temple will help the league achieve this goal and we look forward to Coyotes FC experiencing great success in the NPSL.”
Coyote FC’s home pitch is Holy Trinity Catholic High School in Temple. Integral figures at the club include founder and general manager Manuel Velasquez and director of coaching Rolando Gonzalez.
“We believe the NPSL has participated in many successful club stories and beginnings,” Gonzalez said. “We also believe that this platform will give our local players a wonderful opportunity to expand their talents in a higher level and may even open other doors for them.
“Our team will bring good competition and experienced players to the conference. We will also bring the community of Central Texas that supports local soccer.”
The NPSL Lone Star Conference, as one might infer from its name, features an all-Texas lineup. Coyote FC joins the ranks of Midland-Odessa Sockers FC, Laredo Heat SC, Denton Diablos FC, Fort Worth Vaqueros FC, Austin United FC, Katy 1895 FC and FC Brownsville.
The NPSL boasts 90-plus teams for the 2020 season.
