4. THE FOUR ELEMENTS OF SOCCER These are the building blocks of our program: 1. Fitness: strength, speed, endurance, and agility (core of S.A.Q.) 2. Technique: ball control, types of passes, shooting, receiving, dribbling, fainting, throw-in, heading, etc. 3. Tactics: individual and group- offense/defense, team-organization, set plays, offensive/defense strategies and decision making 4. Psychology: development to overcome and control stressful situations, mental toughness, conduct, build self-confidence, being unaffected by “mind games”, learning to focus, positive attitude of team first and doing everything possible to not let the team down including staying grade eligible and supporting players on the field

5. THE STUDENT ATHLETE Grades are of great concern to the coaching staff. We must always remember that we are dealing with students and that their progress is paramount to anything extracurricular. Soccer will demand a great amount of time. It is therefore important that parents and coaches communicate openly about any concerns affecting academics / grades. Let’s always work together toward the academic progress of each athlete. Soccer can be a motivating factor to improve grades. It requires maintaining of a minimum G.P.A. and good organization of one’s time. Any student staying at school before training/game should be studying and doing homework in the field house, or they should be with a teacher for tutoring
