MISSION STATEMENT

The Genesis Elite FC philosophy is based on providing an affordable organization in North Texas for competitive soccer that focuses on long-term player technical development and training. The skills and development programs are initiated in our Academy teams at a young age and expanded to intermediate and advanced levels across all club teams. All teams have standard structured training programs with similar skills, tactics and playing formations.

The club is out to field competitive teams in all North Texas leagues, but will not sacrifice winning over long-term player development. The Genesis Elite Futbol Club works within the collegiate coaching ranks to prepare our players for the next phase of their athletic lives after High School. All coaches are certified at a “D” License Level or above and are evaluated annually on their overall performance and knowledge. Our Coaching Education, Training, Evaluation/Advancement Programs are managed by the clubs Director of Coaching. The Director of Coaching confirms that all GEFC coaches are trained and performing up to the level of their capabilities.

He also maintains and guarantees that all coaches conform to the club’s Code of Conduct in their communications and actions towards our players, parents, referee’s and league officials. All Club Coaches, Directors and Representatives are driven to make our club the Premier Player Development organization in North Texas.

PLAYER EVALUATIONS

Every player and their skills will be evaluated twice a year by their team coach and the Director of Coaching. After the evaluation the player will receive a written evaluation of their skills showing the areas of strength and areas in need of improvement. The player and their coach will design a training program that addresses problem areas and a plan for improvement.

Since all teams and players are in the same training program, players can train with other players with identical skills and advance to their individual performance level and potential.

COACHING EDUCATION/EVALUATIONS

The Education, Development, Advancement and Retention of our coaches are core club philosophies for the Genesis Elite Futbol Club. The ability to have our coaches’ start out teaching with our Academy level teams and gain the required experience, education and knowledge to move up into our competitive division teams is a key to the overall growth of our club.

The focus of our coaching training & development program will begin with the implementation of two separate training sessions that will actually be contained within the club tryouts. The Director of Coaching will direct the sessions, but he/she will be assisted by the club coaches as they participate. The focus of the two training sessions will be Phase #1 Training. The first session will cover basic technical training for all players at all ages. The second session will include the progression of Phase #1 Training to more advanced training within this phase. Each training session will cover three separate 2 hour sessions and will include a curriculum for the coaches identifying and explaining the following:

- Phase #1 Basic Training (Drills and Exercises)
- Phase #1 Advanced Training (Drills and Exercises)
- The Importance of Training Players and Teams within a System of Play

The Director of Coaching will continue to coordinate with all of the coaches and players moving forward into the start of the season. Additional plans will be developed concerning recruitment of players and coaches, based upon the needs of the club and teams. The focus will always stay on the development and growth of the players and coaches. Other areas include:

Coaches Growth Plan- Players need to have feedback on their performance, written and verbal. It is equally important that coaches have some type of direct feedback on their performance, otherwise how can they improve and grow in their responsibilities as a coach? A written growth and evaluation plan would also be put together for each coach that would involve the Director of Coaching providing feedback in a one on one format. The Director would provide additional learning opportunities to coaches within the club through coaching sessions and clinics. These would begin to change as the club and players began to transition from Phase #1 Training to Phase #2 Training. All coaches would be required to attend at least two (2) sessions per year (once during tryouts when it is done with players from an age group that is trying out for a team, and another time as organized by the Director of Coaching. There would be more than one opportunity for a coach to attend a session, just in case schedules do not permit.
