CLUB TEAM COACHING PROFILE

The Franciscan Soccer Club believes that most children who play soccer competitively do so because they want to aspire to become better players. Franciscan believes that in order to help a young player reach their fullest potential they should provide qualified coaches for them. A Dutch Youth Professional coach once said, "There are many good soccer athletes in the U.S., but very few good soccer players". This is due in part because of the lack of qualified coaching at the youth level in the United States.
