Development of each child's basic soccer skills, sportsmanship, teamwork, and physical condition. (Rules & Regulations I-C-1)

Horham Soccer was founded on the following 3 principles:

• Learning and playing should be fun
• Team success is secondary to individual player development
• Every player, regardless of his/her skill level, should be provided an environment conducive to his/her skill level

The coach is the organization’s primary representative whose principal role is as a teacher with the primary goal to provide a positive learning experience for each child.Coaches are encouraged to:

• Measure success on the ability to develop individual players to the best of their ability rather than on wins and losses
• Expand and refine his/her soccer knowledge on an ongoing basis
• Pursue state or national licensing through EPYSA/USYSA
• Recognize that each child is an individual and to inter-act with each child on a one to one basis
• Educate team parents that coaching from the sideline is counterproductive to the education and training of a soccer player
• Educate players and parents in the proper behavior afforded teammates, opposing players, and referees, and make it clear that abuse of teammates, opposing players, and referees will not be tolerated
• Act in a professional manner
