STINGERS GIRLS COMPETITIVE PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY:
Engage, Educate, Empower. We will surround players with inspired, passionate coaches, foster a positive, enthusiastic environment, hold players accountable to clear standards of excellence, and use peer models to encourage outstanding individual player development. Every day we will grow. Every day we will compete. Every day we will have fun. We will produce young women capable of playing at the highest level of soccer: great individual players, terrific competitors, empowered young women, championship teams.
FOCUS ON DEVELOPMENT:
At Stingers Girls Soccer, we focus on individual technical skills development at younger ages with a progression of tactics introduced at appropriate ages and levels. In Stingers girls competitive soccer, winning is important, but it is not the measure of success; we have a long-term goal to develop soccer players to compete at the highest level possible. Should they choose, Stingers girls are introduced to a high level of play and coaching at a young age. Every Stingers competitive girl has the opportunity to be trained by the Girls Director. Stingers competitive girls are placed in either the Elite Program or the Advance Program.
COMMITMENT:
U11 - U14 Stingers girls competitive teams play two seasons: fall (July-November) and spring (February-May). High school girls U15-18 teams play club soccer in the summer and fall (June-November). Most Stingers competitive players choose to participate in additional skills clinics, camps and training.
