Virginia Beach Travel Soccer Inc. (Beach FC) Mission:
Virginia Beach Travel Soccer Inc. (Beach FC) is a volunteer-based organization providing a competitive soccer program to boys and girls between the age of eight and eighteen. Beach FC is organized as a non-profit corporation under the laws of the State of Virginia. Beach FC’s mission is to deliver an expanding program to all youth, providing them with a rewarding soccer experience that allows them to develop to their full potential on and off the playing field. Recognizing the importance of developing well-rounded youth, we will seek to develop not only motor skills but also leadership skills, self-confidence, team and social skills.
Beach FC and NYSL Purpose:
Our goal at Beach FC is to encourage youth to develop a love of soccer that results in active, life-long participation in the sport by providing a competitive training and match environment. Beach FC will work closely with our affiliate, Neighborhood Youth Soccer League (NYSL), to deliver an expanding program to all youth ages 3 ½ - 18. This includes helping NYSL deliver a rewarding soccer experience that allows ALL players to develop to their full potential. We seek to provide this environment to players throughout their club soccer experience so as they grow as adults, they may continue to participate as players. This will encourage them to give back to the sport by developing the next generation of youth soccer players.
Beach FC Strategy:
We will seek to develop youth by providing them with a challenging and enjoyable soccer program. Players will develop soccer skills and friendships as well as interpersonal skills while emulating appropriate role models. A strong select program is provided for Beach FC players who choose to play at the highest competitive levels. A TOPSoccer Program will be developed and implemented for the purpose of providing athletes with special needs a fun and safe soccer environment focusing on the player’s abilities, not his/her disability. All Beach FC Select Coaches are coaching professional who hold coaching licenses at the State and National level. Coaches with the highest skills and values are sought and developed. All Recreation Coaches are required to hold a coaching license consistent with the ages that he/she coaches. These guidelines are set by our State governing body, The Virginia Youth Soccer Association (VYSA).
