Our Mission
Mission Statement
To bring out the very best in competitive youth soccer by:
- Playing attractive, skillful, high level, possession soccer – that is fun to play and enjoyable to watch
- Helping to develop the player as a person – by building character and learning life skills.
LMSC, as a youth soccer club, has a special responsibility to our players, the community of Lamorinda and the sport of soccer to provide a soccer training and playing environment in which players:
- Receive a positive experience
- Develop and exercise the habits of good character (instrumental, social, and moral character)
- Learn to play fluid, creative, imaginative, high-level possession soccer.
Vision
LMSC has a deeply-held conviction and commitment to teaching high-quality possession soccer. Our vision is to achieve a level of play in all of our competitive age-group teams that sets the benchmark and earns our teams the reputation for this style-of-play locally (Northern California), regionally (West Coast), and Nationally (USA).
Values
The LMSC Technical Development Program is player-focused. It is not a program where coaches build their reputations at the expense of player development. The game belongs to children who play it. It’s their game, and players should think for themselves to solve soccer situations rather than being instructed by parents from the sidelines. The Technical Development Program is designed to provide players with a level of preparation, training, practice, and competition (based on players’ ability in each team) that will enthuse, challenge, and motivate them to further improvement and to a lifelong involvement in soccer.
Skill and character will be developed through quality training, sportsmanship, and team spirit. Teamwork, hard work, fair play, enjoyment, friendships, and creating a safe environment are some of the priorities of our club and its player development program.
Lamorinda Soccer Club’s style of play consists of passing the ball between teammates as the basis of tactical play on offense – i.e., a series of short-range passes between players to avoid challenges to the ball and to advance it towards our opponent’s goal area.
