HC Soccer Club
Recommended Coaching Curriculum
The HCFC Player Development Model is based on a combination of U.S. Youth Soccer which advocates age-appropriate instructional models and continued development for coaches. Below you will find a recommended coaching plan for Zone 1. Most of our players fall into the Zone 1 category and, therefore, will be the main focus of our instruction. ALL HCFC coaches should follow this curriculum to help ensure a safe, effective, and enjoyable soccer experience for all of our players. To download the curriculum, please select the following link:
