FC Lake County - Background
FC Lake County (Est 2014) is an organization formed through the combination of the Warren United and Grayslake Galaxy soccer programs. After reviewing both organizations positives and challenges, both boards agreed that merging the programs would create a greater opportunity to fulfill many of the goals and objectives for both clubs. The 2014-15 soccer year was the inaugural season for our new club.
Mission Statement
The mission of FC Lake County is to provide age and skill appropriate instruction to all soccer players through a tiered curriculum that addresses a variety of learning styles presented by highly qualified trainers to advance both their technical and tactical skills. FC Lake County will help players develop a passion for soccer while cultivating positive relationships between players, coaches, and the greater soccer community.
Player Development Philosophy
We recognize that when children play soccer, they are primarily interested in four things: action, personal involvement in the action, close scores, and opportunities to reaffirm relationships with friends.
Our goal is to develop creative, freethinking players, who have the understanding of the game to know when, where and why to take each action and have the technical ability to execute these actions.
The training sessions will be designed around the four pillars of the game: Technical, Tactical, Physical and Psychological and will incorporate the following development criteria:
Intelligence
Technique
Speed
Balance
Power
