Our mission at Staten Island United Soccer club is to provide a positive atmosphere and implement a means of development for coaches and players. Our players will embrace such values as positive character, self worth and physical well being while engaging in the competitive soccer environment. We are focused on the overall development through training, team experiences and social interaction. Learned life concepts will be a tremendous asset in helping our players attain their goals both on and off the field.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

To create a fun and safe soccer environment that is both age and ability appropriate for all players. The focus is on the development of our players, and not the short-term goal of winning a game or medal. We aim to provide a standardized and structured support plan to our players, coaches and parents to implement this player-centric programming at every level of the game.

OUR CURRICULUM & TRAINING

We have developed our own curriculum, which all our coaches will follow. Each year our curriculum will build upon the prior year and it is important to cover all the material or the essential building blocks will not be in place. Our coaches will be able to go about their work knowing that the preparatory work has already been done.

The responsibility and goal of Staten Island United is to develop every player so that they may maximize their potential. Winning will be a by-product of this player development strategy and not the primary goal in and of itself.

Each training session will cover four key areas:

1.Technical

2.Tactical

3.Fitness

4.Psychological
