STERLING FC: Golden Philosophy
Sterling FC Golden Philosophy
Our Team's Golden Philosophy is to help your child reach his full potential as an advanced soccer player in a fun and competitive environment and develop a love and passion for the game of soccer.

We will strive to develop a premier soccer team, but not at the cost of enjoyment for our players. We will teach "possession" and not "direct" (sometimes called "kick-ball" or boom-ball") style of play. Although "direct" soccer gives you quick results, a team well versed in "possession" soccer will almost always beat a team using the "direct" style of play. Give and go passing, overlapping runs, laying the ball back, moving with the ball to space, moving without the ball to create space, and proficiency with the weak foot take much more time to teach and master. These are the skills required to play competitively at the state and national levels and what is referred to as a "premier" level of soccer.

The player who is interested in learning how to play "possession" style of soccer should understand what is required. Speed, agility, physical fitness, coachability, intelligence, unselfishness on the field, and commitment are extremely important traits. Equally important is patience, by the player and parents, as it takes longer to learn "possession" soccer. The team may not win all of their games the first couple of seasons, but over the long term, both the players and team will be more successful with this approach.

Remember, "The Game is the Best Teacher".
