Carolina FC

Carolina FC fully endorses the Trainer System. Why? Because we know it works! The Trainer System is a result of many years studying the local soccer scene, evaluating the coaching resources, and determining the needs and wants of the player. The conclusion is that there are simply not enough qualified coaches available in the immediate area to satisfy the demand. The Trainer System nullifies this issue by maximizing the return on the quality coaches presently on the CFC Staff. The Trainer System allows every player to be exposed to the many qualified coaches at CFC - not just one! The game of soccer is not a science; therefore, the unique styles and personalities of each coach will help educate and foster a greater understanding of the game. The results speak for themselves!

The CFC Way!
Posted: Wednesday, May 14 @ 8am
The CFC Way is all about you! CFC is a Family Club - we are more than just soccer! Achieving success on the soccer field is a goal of the club, the teams and every player! However, it is the intangibles that make us different, make us special, and in many cases make us better!

The 1000 Touch System is a simple concept. BUT - there is nothing simple about its implementation and execution! Its success is in direct correlation to the coach’s ability to teach and the player’s determination to learn and develop good habits! At the Academy level, the 1000 Touch System is utilized for over 50% of a player’s training experience. Why? Technique! A proper understanding and execution of the fundamentals of the game increases a player’s ability to learn and excel at the beautiful game of soccer! Try it! It works!

Getting a Jump on the Future!
The success of CFC’s Academy Program can be easily evaluated by its continued growth. Our present registration numbers show an increase of over 25% for the 08 - 09 season. But the success of this program is not about numbers, it is about leadership, coaching, organization and most importantly -- the PLAYER! The Academy Program concentrates on individual player development and very little emphasis is placed on team results! Every Academy player is exposed to the 1000 Touch System and begins to learn the CFC Way! So, if you are serious about becoming a better soccer player - register today! Academy Evaluations continue through Saturday!

This is Why CFC is Different!
Two Words! Casey Bolduc! Casey joined us at the age of 12 when she became a member of one the most successful girl’s teams in the history of Carolina FC: the CFC 89 Girls! Since then Casey has represented South Carolina at the State Select (ODP) level, she has coached for CFC at the Micro Soccer and Developmental Program levels, and she has even served as a manager for her Select team! This year Casey capped off her youth soccer career by being selected to the SCISA All State team and leading her Oakbrook team to their first ever SCISA State Championship! (See Article). We thank Casey for defining the CFC Way and we wish her all the best as she enters her collegiate career with the Charleston Southern Lady Buccaneers (See article).
