Our Commitment

WE BELIEVE …

  1. Soccer unites us. We embrace and celebrate our differences because the game makes us one.

  2. Character first. We honour, teach and develop the core values of honesty, loyalty, responsibility, selflessness, compassion and discipline.

  3. The rule of fun. Fun is the lens that can make every soccer player a success. Fun takes many forms and always concludes with “I want to do it again”.

  4. The game is the teacher. We are all responsible to ensure that soccer teaches the skills of a well-lived life. Teamwork, leadership, hard work, communication and creativity are just the beginning of its lessons.

  5. Well-being. A safe, healthy, welcoming experience in body, mind and spirit is the right of every soccer holder.

  6. We are family strong. Family in all its forms- team, club, community, relatives- is the greatest asset that soccer has. Take time to connect and appreciate.

  7. Soccer is the player’s game. Soccer is a personal journey for every player. It is for the player to see, decide, create and win or lose. It is their game.
