VAlues
  • Stow Soccer Club strives to provide an opportunity for all children in our community to play soccer. If a child in our community wants to play soccer, there is a place for them in our club!
  • Player retention is critical to the continued success and growth of the club. This philosophy was written with the goal of retaining as many players as possible, in hopes of developing a large pool of players prepared to contribute to the greater soccer community at the high school level or beyond.
  • The focus of the first two years of competitive/travel soccer (U9 - U10) should be on player development and building a love of the game. All decisions made regarding these age groups (i.e., building rosters, playing time, practice plan design, bracket selection, etc.) should be made in accordance with this principle.
  • While player development and building a love of the game are still priorities in the competitive/travel program at U11 and above, in these age groups the club will also aim to provide a differentiated training and game environment to best meet the individual development needs and goals of our players.
