PHILOSOPHY

The club believes in identifying and developing players at an early age. The club will be responsible for identifying players of intelligence, personality, athleticism and skill. The club believes in developing players through small group play at the youngest ages and progressing to large groups and team play in the older age groups. Players will be exposed to a variety of coaches to encourage their development and understanding of the game. A
comprehensive curriculum will be followed for each age group. Each age group curriculum is progressive, based on all the technical, tactical, physical and psychological information
available.

AZFC has the benefit of having a number of talented nationally licensed coaches on staff. There are currently four ''A'' licensed coaches. The staff also includes coaches with their USSF ?“B,?”''C,'' and National Youth Licenses, and coaches with their NSCAA National and Advanced National Diplomas. AZFC coaches and players have earned over 20 USSF National ?“D?” licenses in the past year. Many of the AZFC staff have been Arizona State ODP Staff Coaches, ODP Head Coaches, and Region IV Staff Coaches.



Additionally, AZFC provides its teams with instruction from Regional ODP coaches, USSF National Staff Instructors, U.S. National Team coaches and professional coaches from Major League Soccer. Bob Gansler, former U.S. National Team Head Coach and current Kansas City Wizards Head Coach (MLS Cup Champions), has worked with the players of AZFC for several years. Jay Entlich, U.S. National Staff & Clumbus State Coach, is regular guest staff member. Alex Hernandez, former Arizona Youth Soccer Director of Coaching and current National Staff coach, works with AZFC teams annually. John Dewitt, former University of New Mexico and Region IV Age Group Coach and current Director of Coaching for F.C. West, trains AZFC teams regularly.
