commitment to play at the highest level can receive the advanced and
competitive playing required to compete successfully statewide, regionally and

to reach their full potential. Provide a training environment that is
age-appropriate, challenging, motivating, enjoyable, encouraging, stimulating
and realistic to the game. Provide an ideal game environment that is age/ability
appropriate against teams that will push the players to their maximum
capabilities, where players receive “fear free” playing time and are encouraged
to keep possession goal to goal. Have
Directors of Coaching who have the education, background and vision to fulfill the
club and program mission statements. Provide a player identification system
