The Elite S.C. Way:  The Elite S.C. Way player development curriculum enables your children to reach their highest levels of competition, while playing in a club that values developing great kids who are great soccer players. The Elite S.C. Curriculum utilizes the US Soccer Federation Best Practices and USYSA “Player Development Model” as the guideline for club wide player and team development.  

The Elite S.C. Way provides every player, regardless of their skill level or competitive desire, the opportunity to maximize their potential and play at the highest level possible or as high as their dreams and ambition will take them.  

The Elite S.C. Core Values are Effort, Learning, Integrity, Teamwork, and Excellence.  These values are instilled in the players on and off the field.

Long Term Development Approach:   Elite understands that it takes years for players to develop the technical and tactical skills required to be great soccer players.  As a club we are committed to this long-term process and provide a structured player development pathway from the early introduction of soccer through to the ELITE level.  Our structured player development pathway includes:
