Our player development philosophy.

  • We are committed to teaching players the skills and tactical insights necessary to play an indirect, possession-style of game.
  • The success of the player development process will be measured by quality of play rather than "winning."
  • Players will play and train in an environment that will encourage decision-making and creativity.
  • Decision-making by players on the field will require parents to quietly observe rather than "direct."
  • When choosing leagues, team rosters and tournaments, we will always place players is a competitive playing and training environment where there will be a balance between success and challenge.
  • Our training sessions will be tactically oriented, with players learning technique in the context of the game.
  • Our training emphasis will be on speed of play.
  • Our coaching hierarchy will be to teach team shape, roles and functional techniques in whatever formation the team is playing.
  • Players will learn the strengths and weaknesses of different formations and how to attack and how to defend out of each formation.
  • Coaches will concentrate in training on the phases of play.
    1. Attacking-Counter-attack; build-up from the back; attacking in the front third
    2. Transition-From attacking to defending and from defending to attacking
    3. Defending-When to press; when to drop; when to choose a deep line of confrontation.
