The mission of the Soccer Association of Columbia - Howard County (SAC HC)
is to provide boys and girls from age 4 to 19 with both instructional
and competitive youth soccer opportunities that will build character,
enhance community, and promote an appreciation of the game of soccer.
The vision also emphasizes the core values of self-esteem, confidence,
teamwork and respect along with support for the inherent benefits that
physical exercise brings.
SAC
HC’s goal is to achieve technical excellence in all of its soccer
programs. To accomplish this goal two objectives must be met:
-
Coaches in all SAC HC programs (Jr. Strikers, clinic, recreational and
travel) must be provided with consistent, high quality and appropriate
education so they can learn and train their players in all aspects of
soccer.
- Player development must be
constantly emphasized-specifically the development of individual player
skills under pressure of time, space and an opponent. The objective is
to increase the player’s technical speed in a progressive training
environment that concentrates on the player with the ball and his/her
immediate surroundings. As players advance from Jr. Striker to clinic
to recreational to travel, skill development is encouraged through
clinics and technical training.
