Goal One: We will create an environment that allows players to express themselves, take risks, and be challenged. We will foster a growth mindset in our players so that they see challenges as a way to learn.

We instituted a Coaching Clinic for all of our coaches to introduce them to novel techniques utilized by top coaches around the world. This was done in hopes that they would become better leaders for their players on and off the field. We taught them: -Creativity and expression in individual play in 1v1 situations and group and team play through combinations and positive possession -Technical execution linked to superior awareness and intelligent-decision making -Positive mentality -Outplaying the opponent at all times -Exceptional work ethic -Ability to take ownership in all situations both positive and negative -Team-first outlook. “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” -Consistent and constant communication -Always having a growth mindset -Playing without fear, with passion, and a smile. -Always hold the values of RCFC in high regard: Passion, Dedication, Respect & Growth

During the COVID-19 pandemic, all of the area soccer leagues were canceled. Additionally, the county restricted access to players and fields, so all in-person practices were canceled for an entire year. We adapted by implementing a completely 100% online training portal for our players and their families. This was done in two ways: 1. We had bi-weekly Zoom meeting sessions with children from individual age groups. In these sessions we had discussion ranging from mental health checks to brief activities. 2. We organized a Youtube channel where our coaches uploaded training sessions that players and families could watch and then do on their own in the comfort of their own backyard. These were incredibly well-attended and resulted in a 100% retention of all of our players and families. It was so popular, that we kept the Youtube videos online and have since added to them.
