[quote=Anonymous]FCB parent here. I will give some examples of what makes it different from my experiences at other clubs. Note that all of this falls outside of the arguments about training styles tournaments results. Some of it will seem trivial or silly even but I have learned to appreciate the value

At the end of practices and games, players may not leave until the coach makes visible contact with the adult picking them up.

Players arrive early for practice and gather in a designated place (bleachers) so they can all enter the field together, as a team. When practice is over the team all helps with equipment pickup and exits the field together.  During water breaks the team goes to the sideline together and returns together. Message: don’t leave anyone behind, a team sticks together. It’s great for kids who are less outgoing or new to the team.

Uniforms must be worn or no practice. No exceptions. Wrong color socks, sorry. Forgot your goalkeeper gloves, sit out and watch. Need a winter hat, better be the right color and never in a game.  Attendance is recorded. Teaches responsibility

Before games the team lines up at the center of the field and applauds the spectators. Just like on TV! Kids love it.

The technical director and coaches seems to know every kid by name.  Hundreds of kids, a dozen coaches.

Any discussion of players is done with the TD not the coaches.

Discipline, respect, hard work. It’s similar to how martial arts practice. But less formal and still fun for kids.

General manager works full time for FCB. No parent team managers playing favorites.

Regular parent surveys to get feedback and make improvements.

Twice a year written report card for each player on technical skills, concepts, progress

As I said these are maybe very small gestures but it is different than other clubs. The professionalism and organization has been wonderful. I only hope it continues as the club grows
