CAPITAL FUTBOL CLUB

Club Philosophy

Our club philosophy serves as a guiding principle for coaches, players, and parents. At Capital FC, we seek:

 

1. To develop skilled, confident, creative, smart players

  • Autonomous players with a positive approach in attack/defense
  • Focus on proper technique, especially in the formative ages (U6-U12).
    • good skill in 1v1 situations
    • ability to finish and create goal scoring opportunities
  • Focus on good decision making/insight into the game, more and more as players get older.
    • Developing “thinking” players who can quickly solve tactical problems on the field.
    • Complete soccer education by the time they leave at U18.
 

2. To value winning but not more than character or performance

  • Winning
    • Our aim is to have our top team for each age group finishing in the top four of the state competition every year
  • Winning with attractive football
    • When we have the ball:
      • Score many goals
      • Create many chances to score goals
      • Take the driver’s seat of the game - have lots of possession.
    • When they have the ball:
      • Try to get the ball back quickly
      • Try to get the ball back with the intention to attack again
  • Maintaining good character and promoting a fair competitive spirit throughout all competitions
  • Focus on long-term development (U18) over short-term results
 

3. To create an environment that fosters hard work and ambition to improve

  • For players - “serious fun” - a combination of positive environment and challenging practices that generate internal motivation and effective learning
  • For parents - openness to learn to be a good supporter of your child’s development throughout his/her time at CFC
  • For coaches - ambition to improve individually as well as collectively as a team of staff coaches
