The Shenandoah FC Elite 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. Our entire coaching staff gets trained on the "Elite Way"; a system geared to train and develop the player and teams in the most progressive manner. We expect every player in the club to master the “Core Curriculum" of Shenandoah FC allowing all of our players to have the best foundation to play the game and exhibit some of the best technical skills in Virginia.
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.
We believe in out of state competitions and travel to develop the players and teams to compete with other Regional and National soccer clubs. The players learn how to travel and prepare for competition away from home and they will face different playing conditions and styles of play. Our focus will always be on player development before results and through our "Elite Way" curriculum we seek to advance SFC Elite player’s onto the college level and beyond. The structure of SFC Elite allows the philosophy and curricullum to be fully executed giving the players the best environment to develop and succeed.
