CLUB PHILOSOPHY

HCSA programs are designed to compliment one another to form a player development progression from U4 to U18.  A player development philosophy means our programs are developed in the best interests of developing individual soccer players technically, tactically, physically, and mentally to reach their full potential.  It is the belief of HCSA that a player development approach to our philosophy is in the best interests in growing and developing the game of soccer and improving the overall quality of players.

The concept of player development is essential to the long-term growth and improvement of the player.  Player development demands that "the player is central" to all decisions made regarding training and competition. 

The chart below provides a guideline to HCSA’s focus on development versus match results at various ages through the player development progression.
