Our coaches subscribe to the CEFC coaching curriculum and philosophy, which emphasizes teaching players technical skills and tactical awareness. Players will always look to play forward. The pattern of play will be to play out from the back, through midfield and into the final third. The goal is to mold players who understand and demonstrate the best decision making on the soccer field in all situations.
