SOCCER PHILOSOPHY
HCYSC implements a possession-oriented attacking style of play. Building out of the back, maintaining possession while playing through the lines, using every player on the team, and creating scoring opportunities are essential to our playing style. In transition, we expect and demand an instant reaction to the loss of possession to recover the ball quickly, by pressing and making the field smaller.
On and off the field, sportsmanship, commitment, dedication, nurturing, and developing a winning and professional attitude is important to us. We want the soccer experience to not be defined by wins, goals, championships, etc., but rather by the impact we leave on people that will hopefully last a lifetime.
