The JSC is run by coaches and parents who believe that you don't have to do soccer 5-6 days a week, 12 months a year to be successful on the field. We field competitive teams without an over-emphasis on soccer …. and without forcing lifetime choices at too young an age.

Some clubs will candidly admit that "soccer comes first (or only)." Others may suggest otherwise, but then pressure your child to emphasize soccer to the exclusion of other sports. Talk to parents currently on the team to make sure you are getting the "real" story.
