About ISLAND CITY FC

Club Vision and Philosophy

To produce players who are technically and tactically strong and who enjoy and play the game to the highest levels of their ability

ISLAND CITY FC recognises the huge impact that football can play in the lives of those who participate – it is so much more than a game! Our intent is to develop all players and teams holistically, to realise their full potential and to become the best version of themselves.

We believe that through quality and age/ability appropriate coaching we can grow future generations of fine footballers and teams who play attractive football and with the spirit and morals expected by our club.

Our Training Methodologies

Developing Every Player

At ISLAND CITY FC we believe that a player will best develop when they are with the right coach, in an environment that is positive and with a style of play with which they are familiar.

The Club hold a firm belief that players should experience playing in a number of different positions, not only to find their own preferred one but also to gain an appreciation of the different roles and responsibilities that are expected of each.

Individual Development Plans

All ISLAND CITY FC Players will be assessed at regular intervals throughout the year and written feedback will be given to the player and their parent/carer.

Players will be responsible for setting their own targets and devising strategies for ensuring that they are achieved. Coaches will assess against the four key areas of football which ISLAND CITY FC believe to be: Technical, Tactical, Physical and Psychosocial.

Team Team Principles

ISLAND CITY FC firmly advocate the fundamentals of being a TEAM TEAM.

We are TEAM TEAM because we are better than just a team. We are 2 teams. We are a team within a team, which creates a solid core foundation which makes us stronger than our opponents. We are better than our opponents because we are 2 teams and because we live and play by the TEAM TEAM way.

Everything we do we do it together!
