REFLECTIONS

FC Storm Vice President Jessica Buringrud and Director of Coaching Anthony Doherty took time out recently to reflect on the Fall Season.  

HIGHLIGHTS

As we wrap up the fall season and head to winter training, we reflect on how grateful we are to our teams, coaches and families who call FC Storm home.  The past seven months have been a busy and productive time in FC Storm.  A few of the notable highlights:

• • FC Storm has grown to 60 teams
  • Expanded  programing to keep pace with the growing needs of our teams
  • Continued progression of teams competing at higher levels
  • Full implementation of a club-wide curriculum that is creating consistency and improved outcomes of  training across all  teams
  • Coaches and staff’ commitment to player development and serving in a way that is genuinely making an impact on and off the field.

DRIVEN BY CORE MISSION AND VALUES

Many of clubs have mission statements and core values, but unless actions bring them to life they are not impacting its players.   FC Storm is committed to Growing, Training, Serving and Laughing; developing important and impactful life skills through the platform of soccer. Thank you for your commitment to FC Storm and the perspective that so much can come from what we learn though play. Every moment matters on and off the field and we are committed to equipping our players for soccer and life.
