Mclean Destiny is a rising U-18 girls team that plays in WAGS in both Fall and Spring seasons.

Destiny’s core values are player development within a team framework, sportsmanship, and respect for all people involved in the game – teammates, opponents, referees and coaches.  From its start, Destiny has been a team that emphasizes friendships among its players and the involvement and support of parents.

Destiny believes that the game is the best teacher and that the coach’s role is to guide players to learn from playing and enjoying the game.  In training, players are put into situations that require solving problems and making decisions.

Destiny is a team for serious soccer players.  It requires a commitment to soccer as your primary sport, and it requires maintaining a schedule that avoids or handles conflicts in a responsible manner.  Players are treated as adults and encouraged to communicate their needs to the coaching staff.  Destiny encourages its players to participate in high school sports on the understanding that their commitment to the Destiny is balanced equally and fairly with the commitment to a high school team.

Destiny will enter college showcase tournaments over the next year to allow those members of the team who are interested in playing college soccer to be seen by college coaches.  The coaches will guide and help players navigate the college recruitment process.

Destiny is coached by Trevor Parker.  Trevor played professional soccer in England for 16 years, where he scored 204 goals in 560 appearances as a forward and midfielder.  He played for a number of clubs in his career, including Tottenham Hotspurs.  Since coming to the United States, he has become a director of coaching for MYS and is considered one of the finest coaches in the area.

Trevor has earned a number of UEFA and NSCAA licenses, including the NSCAA National Diploma with a Distinguished Pass.  He believes in developing each individual player’s technical and tactical ability to enable the team to maintain ball possession and break down the opposing team’s defense with accurate passing and penetrating runs.  His training sessions focus on first touch, speed of play, passing, shooting, 1v1 attack and defense, and the mental and physical requirements of playing at a high level. He establishes a standard of excellence through positive reinforcement and specific instruction.
