TORRENS VALLEY SOCCER CLUB

 

Torrens Valley Soccer Club is based in Birdwood and its' junior teams (ranging from Under 7's to U17's), play within the Adelaide Hills Junior Soccer Association at locations ranging from Murray Bridge to Strathalbyn.

 

Junior teams, mixed and girls-only league, play on Saturdays, during our winter season from April to September. TVSC also fields a senior team (over 17), that play within the South Australian Amateur League.

 

Torrens Valley Soccer Club is also a friendly club, that prides itself on its record for fair play and good sportsmanship.

Our definition of success:  If our players turn up to play again next year then we know we are succeeding.

TVSC targets are:

·        To provide an enjoyable environment where everyone can develop their soccer skills;

·        To ensure everyone with all abilities are given a fair chance of being involved;

·        To help youngsters develop social skills;

·        To ensure we all develop a love for the game;

·        To develop the skills of the coaching team on a continual basis;

·        To have fun!

We also need to help our players understand:

·        The need to respect the coach, the club and each other;

·        That not everybody has the same ability;

·        To always try their best;

·        To respect the laws of the game and the referee;

·        To respect the opposition and be gracious as both winners and losers!

The role of our coaches is to ensure everyone has fun. Their success (and the clubs), will be defined by the number of players who turn up next year and not by the number of games that have been won.

The role of the club officials is to support coaches in developing and implementing the required values and goals.
