Our Coaches
We're coaches who think like educators.
F.C. Horizon coaches are trained professionals who have a passion for youth development - and the beautiful game of soccer.
Our coaches put players first. We create an encouraging, empowering environment and we challenge our players to "go for it" on the field. Our coaches set their egos and winning aside. We use guided discovery to allow players to solve problems and learn from each decision.
Our coaches are educators who value education for themselves. We have regular coach training sessions where we read, watch, learn and grow - which we then pass along to the next generation.
Our coaches lead in the spirit of our philosophy of coaching.

You may have heard a bad story or two about a child being told they're "not good enough" to make the team. Club soccer (among other sports) has gained a bad reputation for only serving the most athletically gifted players in their communities.
Our mission is more than serving only the genetically strongest players. Our mission is to develop players to reach their own maximum potential. We recognize what science teachers: that players can peak at different ages, and that success is the result of many life factors, many of which we can improve throughout a youth sports career.
We get creative with team rosters, age groups, extra training sessions, and event selection to make sure our players are right where they need to be developmentally. Some of our teams are extremely competitive, high performance teams that compete in the strongest event divisions. Other teams play in lower divisions, but still focus on the technical development of each individual player so they can reach their maximum potential.
A successful youth soccer experience requires collaboration between the club, player and parent. We all have an important role to play. F.C. Horizon players are committing to do their part: to train with their best effort during practices, to work hard outside of team practices, and to compete with intensity during games. If your player can make those commitments, we will do our part to find the right place for them within the F.C. Horizon club family.
TRAIN TODAY,
WIN TOMORROW.
