ABOUT ALSC

Amarillo Lightning Soccer Club was started in the Fall of 2001 by Rodney Carnes and Brant Spencer along with the Lightning '91 girls team to provide a competitive soccer alternative to the club structure which existed at that time. The club started with the Lightning '91 team and one Coyotes boys team.

In the Fall of 2003, the club was joined by the Thunder '93 girls. In the Fall of 2004, the Phoenix '94 boys, the Lightning '94 girls, and a second Coyotes team joined the club, bringing the total number of current teams to six.

ALSC's philosophy from the beginning has been and continues to be:

Amarillo Lightning Soccer Club (ALSC) was established to develop those soccer players that are interested in training and competing at a higher level of competition and to work toward state, regional and national soccer titles.

Realization of these goals must be accomplished within the proper framework; by instilling character, self-esteem, confidence and sportsmanship within the youth athlete. Achievement of these objectives can only be reached through the mature behavior and exemplary conduct of the coaches and parents.

An aggressive desire for victory combined with the procedural and graduated development of soccer skills is of paramount importance. Nevertheless, the realization by all that soccer remains only a game is an inherent aspect of the Club that must always be recognized.

North Texas Soccer is a Texas non-profit, 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Corporation formed to promote, foster, and advance the cause of soccer for youth and adults within its territory. Click here to find out more...
