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 results.

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 functional 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.

• Attacking—Building from the back; maintaining possession in the midfield; being adventurous and creative in the attacking third; counter-attacking when the game dictates.

• Transition quickly from attacking to defending and from defending to attacking

• Defending-When to press; when to drop; when to choose a deep line of confrontation.
