The overall philosophy of Chelsea Piers Soccer Club is centered on the belief that following an athlete’s journey and understanding how to motivate a developing athlete is critical to his or her long-term success, both on and off the field. In accordance with this, coaches meet weekly in order to identify the additional needs of both players and teams.
“A developing athlete benefits greatly from having consistency in his or her coaching staff,” commented Dave Flower, Director of Coaching for Chelsea Piers Soccer Club. “We pride ourselves on hiring coaches that excel teaching the game on and off the field, bring playing experience and are also dedicated to building a career with us. We offer coaches an extensive array of support, including off-surface cross training, injury prevention and sports medicine resources. Our high-level coaches offer youth players many of the resources that traditionally are only available to a collegiate or professional player.”
Chelsea Piers Connecticut launched the Soccer Club one year after opening. Since then, the program has grown from three teams to 12 teams, ranging from U8 to U15 for both boys and girls.
