Learning from the NSA motto:
"Strive for Excellence, Enjoy the Process, Good Results will Follow"
SRS staff will instill a competitive mentality in all of our players, but we do it using a positive teaching, player-centered approach. Winning is not the be all and end all. We place more importance on the process than the short term outcome. Player performance is more relevant to our goals than game results. Success on the field is a byproduct of good coaching and quality programming. We believe the winning will come naturally.
This is not to say that our teams will not play to win. The game is designed so players compete. However, at a young age, it is criticial to enable players to develop the tools required to compete. SRS staff do not wish to sacrifice your child's enjoyment and development at a young age for a game result.
