Coaches Philosophy
My philosophy for coaching is that first and foremost we are playing soccer to have fun. Although there is an expected schedule and commitment for practices and games, I understand that other commitments are important. I have a more casual approach to the required time commitment from each player and I will be flexible based on individual needs. I have been coaching with FPYC for the past 8 seasons. I have played soccer my entire life. I played organized house, travel and club soccer as well as on the collegiate level for the University of Maryland. GO TERPS!! I focus my training on individual skills and how it relates to team play. I strongly believe that soccer should be fun and a game first and if we are having fun than everything else will come together.

- Although we are a travel team, we will have 4 games at a Home location in Fairfax and 4 Away games in the No. VA area.

What Type Of Players Are We Looking For?
We are looking for players who have a willingness to learn. The desire to learn is more important than skill level. We want players who love to play soccer and want to improve on their skills. We want players who are competitive and are always trying their best but are also willing to play for a hard working team in a fun filled and positive environment. Is this you?
