The TRFC Tournament-Team Philosophy | We Don't Take Players. We Make Players.
All TRFC programs are designed to supplement players' soccer skills and experience, not take them away from their club team. ("We don't TAKE players; we MAKE players!") We give them skills, experience, knowledge, and confidence to improve their performance and experience with their current club team, while exposing them to new experiences and new levels of competition.
Our season runs from January to July, includes weekly training and at least four tournament opportunities. We keep our rosters small to maximize individual attention during training, and playing time during tournaments.
While winning is always part of the goal, our primary focus is on teaching players age-appropriate, individual soccer skills, while providing the soft skills and experiences that help them develop into better tacticians, decision-makers, and teammates. We value challenge and improvement over easy accomplishment. We take our teams to tournaments that will test their progress, not assure them of a trophy.
All Select Tournament Teams:
- Train weekly from January to July with a National D-licensed, former college head coach, and an experienced, knowledgeable, passionate coaching staff.
- Travel to at least four (two indoor, two outdoor) tournaments throughout the Northeast.
- Develop advanced individual skills, a deeper knowledge of the game, and a strong work ethic you can take back to your club
- Enjoy a club culture built on passion and RESPECT for the game and each other
- Develop lasting relationships with players, coaches, and families who love the game as much as you do
