A Word About Winning

Finally, please do not judge our travel team coaches by their won/loss record. Travel teams participate in extraordinarily competitive leagues. Moreover, the level of playing talent among travel teams varies substantially. A team may win frequently one season and lose frequently the very next season after promotion to a higher division. Does this mean that the coach was a success one season and a failure the next? Of course not.

Teams and travel team coaches that provide their players with opportunities for fun; stress good sportsmanship; help players to improve their self confidence; teach the skills associated with soccer and teach the lessons associated with team membership; and provide camaraderie and a positive social outlet are successful teams, regardless of their won/loss record. Judge our travel coaches by these enduring and important achievements and not by the win/loss record.
