Our Mission: 

(I "borrowed" this statement from another team.  If you like, we can keep it as is or make up our own.  We don't even have to have one but it appears that other clubs have one so I didn't want us to be left out.  Comments are appreciated--Jim)

The Shoals Soccer Club was established by involved parents from the Shoals area for the specific purpose of

• Developing a competitive youth soccer program whose goals are to achieve state, regional, and national soccer championship titles,
• Developing players capable of receiving college scholarships based on their playing ability and academic achievement. 

The realization of these goals must be accomplished within the proper framework by instilling character, self-esteem, confidence, and sportsmanship within the youth athlete.

Achievement of these lofty and worthwhile objectives within the appropriate environment can only be reached through the mature behavior and the exemplary conduct of the coaches, parents, and officials of the Club.  Their relationship with the players must be of the highest ethical and moral standards and be based upon just principles that ensure that equitable treatment prevails in all circumstances.

An aggressive desire for victory combined with the procedural and graduated development of soccer skills through exceptional coaching and advanced training techniques is of paramount importance. Nevertheless, realization by all that soccer remains only a game is an inherent aspect of the philosophy of the Club that must always be recognized.

The Shoals Soccer Club and coaching staff strive to attract players and parents with these common interests:

• Promoting the game of soccer in the local area
   
• Create an environment in which players can reach their full potential and achieve the self- confidence and positive self-esteem necessary to be successful both on and off the soccer field.
   
• Developing individual skills, and team tactics to enable players and/or teams to compete at the state, regional, and national level.
