Developing the whole person, not just the athlete

The four corner development model places the player at the center of the development process with soccer experiences that meet the four key needs of

the player

The RHSC Philosophy is rooted in ensuring players’ success both on and off of the soccer field. We embrace the Long Term Player Development Model to produce an attacking brand of soccer.

We emphasize strong technical ability and proactive decision making-skills to dominate the game by keeping possession of the ball, and consistently seeking to penetrate and play through all areas of the field.

This philosophy places heavy importance on leadership amongst all players, and ensures they understand and maintain a healthy active lifestyle.

Philosophy

Pool Programs, Not Teams

Players should not be thinking in terms of making or not making a team.

• Players will practice in both large and small groups• Players will be directed to the practice group that meets

their level of ability at said moment in time• “Teams” are only necessary for leagues• Players will be moved as the coaching staff feels

appropriate (may be week to week)• Games are looked upon as a learning opportunity not

win/lose. (we set developmental goals for players)• The player pool structure is modeled on Global Football

Best Practices

• Committed to continuous development• Work together as a group• Deliver consistent principles and content• Positive and player centered • Independent and objective look at all players
