1. Develop skilled, confident, creative and smart players.

Autonomous players with a positive approach in attack/defense.

Focus on proper technique, especially in the formative ages (U6-U12).

• good skill in 1v1 situations

• ability to finish and create goal scoring opportunities

Focus on good decision making/insight into the game, more and more as players get older.

Developing “thinking” players who can quickly solve tactical problems on the field.

2. To value winning - but not more than character or performance.

Winning with attractive football.

When we have the ball:

• Score many goals

• Create many chances to score goals

• Take the driver’s seat of the game – have lots of possession.

When they have the ball:

• Try to get the ball back quickly

• Try to get the ball back with the intention to attack again

Maintaining good character and promoting a fair competitive spirit throughout all competitions.

Focus on long-term development (U18) over short-term results.

3. To create an environment that fosters hard work and ambition to improve.

For players – “serious fun” – a combination of positive environment and challenging practices that generate internal motivation and effective learning

For parents – openness to learn to be a good supporter of your child’s development throughout his/her time at CFC

For coaches – ambition to improve individually as well as collectively as a team of staff coaches
