  1. The Vision To build a fundamentally-based club focusing on player skill development and creating a positive environment for players to compete and grow while becoming students of the game

  2. Gaston United Soccer Club Philosophy • GUSC coaching focuses on the improvement of both individual skills and small team group play, which is essential at the 6-12 age groups. • GUSC believes that the game of soccer is made up of a series of movements and plays linked together by a small number of players (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, etc.) in different parts of the field. It’s these small group plays that bring out the beauty in the game of soccer! We don't want to discourage team play but rather: • Focus on individual player skill development • Play small-sided games in recreation/challenge/classic until U13
