COACHES
Our coaching team combines educational best practices with soccer expertise to create the ultimate environment for youth development. Every coach is trained to think like an educator, prioritizing individual player growth, skill development, and personal connections with players and families.
Our Coaches
We're coaches who think like educators.
F.C. Horizon coaches are trained professionals who have a passion for youth development - and the beautiful game of soccer.
Our coaches put players first. We create an encouraging, empowering environment and we challenge our players to "go for it" on the field. Our coaches set their egos and winning aside. We use guided discovery to allow players to solve problems and learn from each decision.
Our coaches are educators who value education for themselves. We have regular coach training sessions where we read, watch, learn and grow - which we then pass along to the next generation.
Our coaches lead in the spirit of our philosophy of coaching.
