MISSION

The Valrico Youth Soccer Club was founded in 1996 as a Competitive Soccer Club and will remain as such. The D-League is the foundation of fun and growth for the Soccer Club as our players desire to progress into Competitive soccer.

The goal of the Valrico Youth Soccer Club is to enhance the knowledge of the player, coach and parent in the game of soccer and ensure that fun and excellence are the priorities of the club. Mastering the games' techniques and tactics through the training methods provided by the training and coaching staff and adhering to the VSC program is our goal. Part of this mission is to also teach the values of being a good sport.

Coaches should be mentors to our youth and build up character, fun and athleticism for all walks of life. Skills will be taught on how to conduct oneself in a competitive environment (emotional discipline), teamwork (corporate association), physically and mentally working hard (work ethic), punctuality (personal responsibility), learning to give and receive instructions (leadership), to have respect for others and nurture lifelong friendships (sportsmanship); we should be gracious in defeat and humble in victory.

Why do we gather around this game? The answer is simple and that is to witness our young children/ players excel at the game of soccer. The focus of winning only has it's attention on glory and not on the achievements of the players or team. Excellence has to do with the method of achieving success, so be on the lookout for excellent soccer skills and hard work, rewarding it with the praise it deserves whether the team wins or loses.

To critique without understanding is negative and destructive, but knowledge can build one's confidence to compete with excellence while having fun. Our coaches lead and instruct, our players are the only ones involved in playing the game and our parents are to encourage. It is the responsibility of all members to learn what our goals and procedures are at the Valrico Soccer Club and apply them.

We are a club that develops players first and foremost and while trying to win is the premise we all take to the field when competing, we cannot put that above the development of the player and the team. As the team and players get better so does the win/loss record. Winning is not first, it is the product of excellent coaching, training and players who learn to execute techniques and tactics on the playing fields.
