our Player
The Individual Player is always at the center of our decision making process. Every decision reflects a desire to facilitate each and every player in reaching their own personal best, in soccer and life. To that end, coaches and parents are charged with the responsibility of teaching players in an individualized way that will get to the core of how that particular player learns and grows.
Coaches in particular must be willing to empower players to make decisions on the field that will allow them to explore the limitations of their abilities, in spite of the possibility this may make winning a specific game more difficult.
The player too has responsibilities. A player must realize that she or he represents themselves, their family, team and club every time they are part of any club function, game, practice or meeting. Players must show respect to each other, as well as, opponents, and coaches. Behavior is expected to not only be appropriate but to convey a sense of common courtesy and friendliness always but particularly on out of town tournaments.
Finally, a player must take personal responsibility for getting better. Without hard work and practicing on their own a player will likely not advance at a favorable rate. With dedication to getting better a player can find his or her own game within.
