At Stockton TLJ FC, our focus is on the four tiers of player development.

Technical Proficiency

Ball mastery is inherent throughout all aspects of training and match play. For a player to compete at the highest level in the modern game they must be able to control the ball in all situations. Our focus in the formative years of player development is technical ball mastery.

Tactical Understanding

Tactical understanding and awareness is crucial at all levels of the game. We teach our players their role, positional awareness on the field, and the ability to make good decisions during the four moments of the game.

Physical Fitness

We seek to develop speed, agility, balance, and coordination in all players in addition to a strong work ethic and integrity. At the same time, we place great importance that the player enjoys practice, games, and social interaction with the team.

Psychological Advancement

We promote a positive approach to the game both inside and outside the sidelines. We strive to foster a strong work ethic and integrity in every player. We encourage players to train and play with joy. We place emphasis on players to practice respect, discipline, and commitment to their family, the game, and the community at large.

Stockton TLJ FC teaches our players to play and act like champions on and off the field.
