Chelsea SC provides players a fun, safe, competitive environment for youth soccer. We strive to develop individual skills as well as team excellence. Chelsea SC employs the highest qualified coaches available to allow each player the best opportunity to reach their full potential. Chelsea SC creates a unified and dynamic soccer organization that will continue to thrive and give back to the local community.

The Chelsea SC objectives and philosophies are simple:

• To help each player grow physically, technically, tactically, intellectually and emotionally through his/her participation in competitive soccer.
• To work with and develop each player and team to their full potential through measurement of their growth on the soccer field.
• To help each player/team learn about and develop their character as people, athletes, and teams through the understanding of the four "D's" of self-improvement:
  • Dedication
  • Discipline
  • Desire/Determination
  • Development
• Through experiencing these principles and applying them in everything we do, one learns to overcome the difficult, adverse challenges that we may be faced with throughout our lives.
• To build self-esteem and confidence through positive reinforcement, support and the understanding of how mistakes are a part of growing, learning, and developing. Through this, we develop the confidence and knowledge to achieve almost anything we commit ourselves to do.
• To help all players achieve their personal goals, whether they are to be competitive at the Club, High School, Collegiate, or Professional level.
• To instill upon all the principles of fair play and good sportsmanship. Winning is only a goal to strive for. Sometimes you achieve it, sometimes not. The process for achieving that goal is much more important - learning, growing, being stimulated or challenged and having fun. Those are the true rewards of participation.
• To create passion and loyalty to the game of soccer, JUSA, and the Chelsea Soccer Club.
• To provide "value" to all for the time, energy and financial resources committed.
• To give back to the club, our community and to soccer, that which each has gained.

Chelsea SC is a development-based club.

It is our goal to teach and develop players to their full potential, not simply coaching them to win games. All Chelsea SC coaches are required to implement a teaching program that follows the basic principles of development in soccer:

• Fundamental Skill Development (Technical)
• Decision Making (Tactical)
• Speed, Fitness, Agility, and Flexibility (Physical)
• Mental Growth Development/Education (Psychological)

Through this approach, player development occurs/is taught at certain states in a players growth (also known as "age/developmentally appropriate" activity):

• Under 9/10: Fundamental skill and game play development/education in a fun, stimulating environment
• Under 11/12: Continued fundamental skill and game play development/education through fun, stimulating/challenging environment.
• Under 13/14/15: Emphasis on tactical, physical, and psychological aspects of the game. Continued technical development.
• Under 16/17/18/19: All components of play - technical, tactical, physical, and psychological

Chelsea SC has established similar developmental guidelines for the position of Goalkeeper. Through specialized teaching and coaching, all players who play goalkeeper are taught and coached by the Chelsea SC Goalkeeper Coach.

All Chelsea SC coaches are required to carry a minimum of a State Level "D" On-going training/teaching of Chelsea SC coaches is done and promoted by the Technical Director. All Chelsea SC coaches must pass a thorough interview/evaluation process that demonstrates their knowledge of the game of soccer, their ability to work with and communicate well to the gender/age of the players they are to coach, and model in a positive manner the principles of fair-play and good sportsmanship.
