Nationals Canada - Parent Communication

November 7, 2017

- ECA report on Youth Academies in Europe

“Nurturing talent and future players should be

the main role of a club. If each club has its own

traditions and if there is no single recipe for

success. The case studies clearly show that the

most effective Youth Academics are those

which pursue their vision and their objective with

perseverance. It is not only a question of size; it

is a question of spirit and belief.”

- Pep Segura, La Masia

“It is the identity of the youth system that should

define the identity of the first team, not the other

way round.”

our mission

“The TSC is committed to lead the development,

promotion and administration of the game of

soccer while providing quality service,

communication and education to our members.”

our vision

“To be a highly recognized and respected

soccer club in our town, district and province

which develops our members to the best of their

ability while exhibiting sporting values and

integrity and maintaining community identity.”

values

• The needs of the Player will be put first in all decisions.

Developmental Needs of the player will guide decisions, especially in

Talent Identification and Selection and ongoing scouting.

• Strong foundation in Participation starting from bottom up. Lowering

Barriers to participation, especially in the early development stages.

• Importance of Balance - Retention and Pathways for all (Player,

Coach, Referee and Administration). Consistency and Alignment

throughout the club, cognizant of economic, geographic and general

time constraints on members.

• Ongoing Communication and Education is critical at all times.

why?

• We believe in a player-centred approach, whereby young athletes are guided through their learning and

playing experience. TSC Coaches encourage and inspire creativity, allowing players to make their own

mistakes and learn from them.

• We believe in an inclusive environment that allows players of all levels to participate and learn at their

own pace, understanding that the same league/intensity is not right for all, but also that everyone should

be given the same opportunity.

• We believe that soccer players must train to play soccer and when they are done, train some more.

Canada is playing catch up - so are we.“On-Ball” time & training is available year round in a 44 week

development model. If a young player has a conflict due to another sport or wholesome activity (that is

ok, we support a balanced lifestyle) he or she has the opportunity to make that session up on another

night or weekend, so as not just to miss out on training/playing!

• We believe in providing the highest level of play for players who need/seek out opportunities at the next

level, while understanding that cost/travel barriers must be overcome and alleviated at young ages for

all families.

• We believe in a committed, collaborative & qualified technical staff. TSC identifies, appoints and unites

coaches who believe in the development of all players within the club.

why?

“Every move we make is based on three

things: The PLAYER, the PLAYER, the

PLAYER”

“Those are the three things that we care

about”

player development pathway#UltimateGoal

TSC #UltimateGoal

• The #UltimateGoal of Tecumseh Soccer Club is to be a lifelong vehicle for the growth, development, inspiration &

maturation of your child. There shall be no greater success than the opportunity to guide a player from 8 & younger through

to 18 & older, at any and all competitive levels, within the pathways and opportunities provided by TSC.

• Examination, evolution & modification of our pathways is essential to provide a safe, comfortable and competitive

environment for each and every person in our program. The more comfortable and safe your child feels in their environment,

the more confident they will be in playing, learning & performing the skills necessary to be the best version of themselves,

on and off the field.

• We ultimately value the PERSON over the PLAYER. We will actively guide the individual PROCESS and work to help shape

each child’s picture of PROGRESS, though their soccer experience.

• Sport is a phenomenal opportunity to develop character within each and every club member (coach, player, parent &

volunteer). We are honoured that you chose us to assist in shaping and developing the potential within your child.

Inspiration to learn and play the game must come from within. We hope to ignite that fire and help it grow!

• We do not set out to be the environment full of the best footballers, we work to build the best of all environments for the

footballer. An ultimate environment helps develop athletes of all levels into players of their desired potential, keeping them

“in the game.” This includes those striving to be elite in sport, those here to best develop their skill set in the game and those

here for the social component of “being a part of the team.” The #UltimateGoal is to build an environment which transforms

our athletes into complete soccer players, our children into contributing citizens of character, our current leaders & role

models into future coaches/educators and our countless volunteers into integral parts of our community organization today

and for the many future days to come.
