Elle Durham #2

Elle’s soccer journey has been one of patience, determination and perseverance. After her family moved from Dallas to East Texas in 2019, Elle has made the 4 hour round trip to practice twice per week, first for FC Dallas 08 ECNL, and recently joining Sting Black ECNL. Elle is left footed, though uses both feet well. She plays all attacking positions, and though she is a natural finisher and has a knack for scoring, she can also control the pace of the game, exhibits a natural touch with her passing, and plays the ball well into space for her teammates. Elle is coachable, eager to learn and improve her game, and loves to win. In her free time she loves to spend time with her family, play Pickle Ball, and hang out with her friends!

As a freshman and sophomore, Elle started every game as a Forward for the Lady Cougars varsity team at Grace Community School in Tyler, TX. The team made it to the first round of playoffs her freshman year and they went on to win the TAPPS Division 11 State Championship her sophomore season. As a freshman Elle earned Freshman of the Year, 1st team All District, Honorable Mention All State, and All State Academic Team. As a sophomore Elle was a captain and earned 1st Team All District, 1st Team All State, All State Academic Team, and State All Tournament Team.
