- 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.

• Playing Philosophy

• Goals

• Objectives

• Making this a reality

• Pre season plan and full season plan

• Player Development Plan

Vision for TSC

• To produce technically

excellent and innovative

players, with exceptional

decision making skills

• The mastery of technical

ability, awareness and

creation of time and space

must be a priority

Vision for 2005 Girls

• Team is most important thing

• The team is more important

than the player (individuality)

Coaching Philosophy

• To develop an environment in which players are

encouraged to be creative and expressive

without the fear of failure

• To provide a solid foundation of technical skills

combined with game understanding

• Make sessions appropriate, challenging,

educational and enjoyable

• To develop players into expert decision makers

who can ultimately provide the creativity and

individual brilliance to change games at the

highest level

Team Playing

Philosophy• We strive to play football with a possession based approach,

where pass quality combined with intelligent and timely support

and movement lead to progression and penetration through the

thirds of the field leading to goal scoring opportunities, IF

counter attacking possibilities are denied

• To defend effectively: a team should show a controlled,

calculated and assertive approach where all players contribute

and have a clear understanding of the tactical objectives being

used to regain possession of the ball

• 1-4-3-3 or 1-3-5-2

Style of Play

• Attack (Possession)

• Transition to Defence

• Defence (Recover Possession)

• Transition to Attack

• Tecumseh DNA

Attack (Possession)

• Player must always be in a position to receive the ball

• Look to play forward, positive build up play

• Width and Depth

• Possess through the thirds of the field, (construction, preparation of creation,

creating opportunities, Scoring) in particular to get the ball wide and get the

ball into the box or to penetrate through the middle

• Encourage creativity and positive 1v1 scenarios in the attacking third

• Speed of play (control the tempo, slow or quick at the right times)

• Most important aspect is to Score and create opportunities

Attack (Possession)

Transition to Defence

Upon losing possession:

• Nearest player presses the ball

• Collectively win the ball back as fast as possible

• Everyone else recovers quickly and get compact

• Press in groups (defensive overloads)

Transition to Defence

Defence (Recover

Possession)

• Understand how to defend as early/as high up the field as possible, with

control and an intelligent intensity

• Recover quickly to organise a compact defensive block

• From this position players should aim to:

• Minimise number of opposition entries into penalty area in defending half

• Protect space behind the back line and in front of GK

• Secure space in front of back line and behind the midfield defensive line

• Stay connected (team, unit, individuals)

Defence (Recover

Possession)

Transition to Attack

• On winning of possession of the ball focus should be:

• To counter attack with speed, control and directness

• Look to play forward quickly

• Establish width and depth quickly

• Secure possession with a simple pass if counter attack is

not on

Transition to Attack

Final Thoughts

• “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear

is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our

darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to

be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you

not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not

serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so

that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all

meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest

the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in

everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously

give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated

from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Thoughts to take Home

you feel? Does it give you perspective on anything or

approach to your life?

meaning/purpose behind it?

do you think I see it relating to you, your team, the

coaches & our commitment to one another.
