We aim to provide a positive and nurturing environment for soccer players of all levels to develop their soccer ability and human element, with all players having the opportunity to be a club member no matter the socioeconomic situation.
Every age group has an age appropriate curriculum, which is appropriate to the needs of the characteristics of the players age, in a seasonal format periodized by the playing season and phases. Our coaching process starts with the technical breakdown of the player mechanics, transitioned in to the skill acquisition and performing the soccer specific action under the game situation through small sided games. There is no better teacher of the game than the game itself.
Vision
Fremont YSC is committed to providing a long term development plan for players from 4 to 18 years old.
Through innovative pedagogical methods, players will be addressed as an individual element, made up of complex systems, to advance not only their soccer playing ability, but also their development as a human being. Youth soccer is an individual journey within a team context, where the ball is always the focus and point of reference throughout the learning of soccer.... Players will be encouraged and nurtured to be creative, and problem solvers, using the environment they are in to find solutions to the problems they face.
Fremont YSC is more than a collection of age group teams, but a club with members, where we are all together as one club, with it’s single identity for all players, parents, and coaches to be proud to be a member of.
Philosophy
An holistic approach to all round player development. A development program where players can learn in an environment free from pressure of outcome, but a focus on process and performance. The mindset developed in the player is open to making mistakes and learning from their experiences. Fremont YSC encourages players to be creative and to play without fear of mistakes.
Core Values
The holistic approach takes into consideration how the pillars of a players development are all connected and contribute to the whole person. It is also a connection between the individual, the club, and community we serve, and these shape the behaviors of all club members.
Empathy, Community, and Inclusivity
Fremont is a collection of 5 individual townships; Irvington, Niles, Centerville, Mission San Jose, and Warm Springs. Originally coming together through the Washington Township, Wally Pond in 1956 was the leader who brought the districts together to form the City of Fremont. Modern day Fremont is culturally diverse, and Fremont is the home to the largest concentration of Afghan Americans in the United States.
Creativity, Innovation, and Empowerment
Fremont’s Niles district became the earliest home to California’s motion picture industry. Charlie Chaplin filmed several movies in the Fremont area, most notably The Tramp. In the late 1990’s, there was a boom in Fremont’s high-tech employment, especially in the Warm Springs District, linking Fremont to the famous Silicon Valley brand name. Apple’s first Mac computer manufacturing plant was located in Fremont. Approximately 750 high tech companies opened their offices, headquarters or production facilities in Fremont. Tesla Motors is the largest employer in Fremont, and an innovator in Green Technology, making Fremont home to the future of clean tech.
