Illinois Futbol Club

Role of the Coach and the Club:
It is understood that the role of a coach in the Little Illini Soccer Club is to develop an atmosphere of enjoyment for the players and at the same time keep the training environment as competitive as possible. At LISC, we focus on the development of our players first and foremost. Once the players get older and we start developing certain position/roles of players then playing time will become more of an issue for some. For tournaments and State Cup, playing time for the older age groups (U15 and up) could be less for some players with the hopes of having those players gain more experience in league games or tournaments in which the time arises for those players to play more. Since we are a competitive club we have to balance that fine line and make sure that each kid is developing but at the same time we need to keep the team’s goals in tact as well as offering the best product for those kids who wish to play at a higher level. For more information on how we would envision this process to work then please visit www.liscsoccer.com and look under the policy manual section located on the left navigation bar of the web page.
