Philosophy


The mission of the Wheaton Wings Soccer Club is to allow each player to develop the skills necessary to achieve their maximum potential by providing a quality training program which focuses on all parts of the game: technical, tactical, physical, and psychological aspects. We are strong believers in the importance of foot skills.

The Wheaton Wings Competitive Soccer Club has contracted the training services to one of the top training organizations in Northern Illinois, the Future Pros Inc. The Future Pros training organization has adopted the player development curriculum of US Soccer. It is our goal to use the guidelines outlined by US Soccer to develop individual players. Our trainers bring their extensive experience of playing and coaching in Europe and South America to the players of the Wheaton Wings Soccer Club. Our goal is to create a challenging practice environment where the player is stimulated and mentored to reach higher levels of the game according to his or her abilities. The training sessions are age appropriate and focus on skill development as well as tactical preparation for the games. Our trainers create sessions to cover the main principles of the game:

Attacking:
  • Develop individual foot skills
  • Learn how to use these skills with speed as an attacking principle
  • Develop passing skills with changes in movement to beat pressure
  • Transition
  • Positioning and awareness
  • Finishing

  • Defending:
  • Marking
  • Develop defensive awareness
  • Transition
  • Develop pressure concepts as a defensive tool
  • Develop defensive strategies
  • Pressure , cover and balance (individual and group)
