Red Dragon Soccer Academy hosted its first ever
golf tournament at The Dunes Course of Sandridge GC on April 22, 2006. The
tournament was a fundraiser for IRSA’s U13 boys team coached by Jim Paige and
trained by Dylan Lewis. The team embarked on the trip of a lifetime in July,
2006, as it traveled to Wales & England to compete against local teams, got a
coaching session at Manchester United FC, toured Manchester Utd FC and
Liverpool FC, and explored Wales & England with numerous day trips.
Double Honor for Lewis
Dylan Lewis, Director of Red Dragon Soccer Academy, was recently
inducted into both the Florida Tech Sports Hall of Fame and Sunshine State
Conference Hall of Fame for his outstanding contribution to the Florida Tech
Panthers' 1988 and 1991 National Championship winning teams.
Sunshine State Conference press release:
The only Florida Tech men’s soccer player to have his number retired, no. 3,
Dylan Lewis was also the only Panther to contribute to Florida Tech’s 1988 and
1991 NCAA Division II National Championship teams. The best defensive player
to ever wear the crimson and gray, Lewis was named the Adidas/ISAA Player of
the Year in 1991, as well as the NCAA Division II Championship Defensive MVP.
Originally from Wales, Lewis was a big part of the Panthers’ success in making
it to the NCAA Division II Regional every year from 1987-94. Florida Tech
claimed the Sunshine State Conference championship each year Lewis was on the
team from 1988-91, as he garnered All-American honors in 1991, All-South
Region in 1991, All-State FISCA in 1990-91 and All-SSC in 1989-91. The 1991
team MVP’s biggest game came his senior season when he recorded a hat trick to
defeat Virginia Tech and win the Florida Tech Tournament. Lewis found the back
of the net 18 times in his career and is tenth in the Panther record book for
career assists with 31. He graduated with honors in applied mathematics in
1991 and went on to play professionally for the Orlando Lions. Lewis was a
member of the 2003 SSC Silver Anniversary Men’s Soccer Team and is now
teaching at Vero Beach High School. Lewis becomes the third Florida Tech men’s
soccer player to join their coach, Rick Stottler, in the SSC Hall of Fame.
Red Dragon Soccer welcomes “Hot Shot”
In a competition conducted at Hobart Park, our mascot for the
younger age groups was named. The winning entry belongs to Lauren Kenney who
named our little Red Dragon “Hot Shot”. Congratulations to Lauren who attended
the Christmas Clinic free of charge while wearing our newly designed t-shirt
with Hot Shot’s image on the front. All of our younger campers at Red Dragon’s

The Step Over
The Step Over
The step over, or "Rivelino" (named after the great Brazilian star of the 60's
and 70's), is a great move to create space for yourself. Remember, practice
makes perfect.......
Step 1: fake to kick the ball
Step 2: instead, step around it, and....
Step 3: ......plant the foot on the other side of the ball, turning the hip
for best effect.
Step 4: then push the ball in the opposite direction with the outside of the
step over foot and accelerate away.
