026 FC

“More than a soccer club”

026 FC is not a typical soccer club. It is “more than a soccer club.” It is a collection of independent teams working together and supporting each other to further the development in, and enjoyment of, the game of soccer for a bunch of great kids.

The mission of 026 FC is to help athletes continue to develop their skills and a love of the game of soccer, through high quality and age appropriate training, a positive development environment, and maintaining a fun, enjoyable experience. Our mission is to provide a professional, safe and positive soccer environment while developing talented youth players. Focusing on the players first, each individual should have strong fundamentals, confidence, and creativity to carry them to their highest potential. Our organization believes it starts with quality coaches who are passionate, supportive and exemplary role models of sportsmanship. We aspire to be an outstanding educational-athletic organization that provides a high-quality experience for the athletes. A high-quality experience is one in which every athlete: is coached in a positive manner, has fun playing the game, feels like an important part of the team regardless of performance, learns “life lessons” that have value beyond the playing field and learns the skills, tactics and strategies of the game and improves as a player.

As coaches, we firmly believe that the playing field is an extension of the classroom and sports are an extremely important part of the education process. They help players become well-rounded individuals. They not only help players develop a sense of competition and teamwork, but also facilitate positive peer interactions and a sense of community. We believe that, as coaches, it is not only important to develop the skills that will make the players successful in soccer but will also help instill in the them a strong sense of fairness, competition, respect, responsibility, determination, and discipline in life as well as on the field. Through experiences derived from playing competitive soccer, we strive to help players mature as people and will encourage the development of important life skills such as good sportsmanship, teamwork, goal setting and fair play.
