| ABOUT |
----------------------
 |
Through our affiliation with Young Champions of America (YCOA), we are able to offer soccer to anyone regardless of age or ability. YCOA offers a full range of youth coaching from beginner to advanced from age 4 years upward to U 19s. South Mountain Village F.C. then becomes the adult side from U 19 upward. Most of our coaches at YCOA now play in our adult club, something we at SMVFC think is very important. It's difficult to correctly demonstrate the techniques needed if you yourself are not doing it under pressure. Our vision as a club along with YCOA is to become the standard to which all other clubs, junior or senior, aim. |
