Culture

Philosophy

South Bay Football Club believes in player development as the approach to building the soccer club and individual teams, while always maintaining a club atmosphere. We use a standardized curriculum that keeps the entire program operating together and developing the players in the same fashion.

As we develop our younger players and teams with a concentration on technical training and possession, the players will eventually graduate through the program year by year to a greater level of tactical training, where movement off the ball and decisions on the ball become extremely important.

Our focus will always be on player development and through our own curriculum, we seek to advance our players onto the college and professional level. The structure of South Bay FC allows our philosophy and curriculum to be fully executed giving the players the best environment to develop and succeed.
