Tennessee Soccer Community:

Just South of Nashville, in Middle Tennessee, sits the small and thriving community of Mount Pleasant. Situated about 30 miles southwest of Franklin, Mount Pleasant is home to three schools (Elementary, Middle, and High School) that are adjacent to one another creating the potential for a soccer powerhouse on one campus in one very supportive and very enthusiastic community. The Middle School and High School both have school grounds/fields that are ready to be used, school administrators that are ready to take their athletic programs to the next level by building both boys and girls soccer programs and cultivating an appetite for success that envisions future championships. The elementary school is a Reward School that has created a perfect scenario for kids soccer teams to flourish and feed directly into the middle school before stepping onto the pitch in high school, thus creating a pipeline of soccer dominance for many years to come. An adjacent community center is led by a community member who is ready to begin a kids league to support the sport and the future middle school and high school programs. Mount Pleasant schools are a part of Maury County. Maury County Public Schools have seen an increase in involvement in "the Beautiful Game" with new residents contributing to the growth in the community in recent years.

Here is what we need:

1. Any unused soccer goals willing to be donated

2. A coach who is ready to partner with stakeholders to build quality student-athletes resulting in state champions in a community ready to embrace this sport and benefit from the citizens the sport of soccer produces. 

If anyone knows of soccer goals ready to be donated, please email Timothy Drinkwine, Ed.D. at tdrinkwine@mauryk12.org 

Any interested individual who is ready to come to Mount Pleasant and help begin something special needs to also email Dr. Drinkwine (email above).

    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd... 
    • yeah money aint right there anymore
    • I suppose you are correct but from my understanding it was going to be a situation of the HC saying yay or nay to every play
