FC Brandywine Mission Statement:

To promote and develop soccer players from the community.

We use the sport of soccer as a tool to teach life lessons to our players and as an avenue to achieve a healthy lifestyle where good decisions can be made.

We will focus on the players’ development with a base structure and path of the 5 pillars of the game of

soccer.

Each pillar (Technical, Tactical, Physical, Psychological and Character) will be built through a positive and fun

environment.

“All coaches talk too much about running a lot. I say it’s not necessary to run so much. Soccer is a game that’s played with the brain. I want players to learn how to think fast. I want them to learn how to run little, but run smart. You need to be in the right place at the right time, not too early, not too late.”

- Johan Cruyff, Barcelona and The Netherlands
