MISSION STATEMENT

To produce hard working, skillful, technical players employing the following three phases: Foundation, Development and Advancement.

The purpose of the mission statement is to promote a culture of excellence which drives both our staffs’ and players’ thoughts and actions. The ideal environment is created to develop young players through experienced experts working together to produce an outstanding multidisciplinary support program where players can thrive.

As such, the elite environment is designed to service players with exceptional work ethic by encouraging creativity and individual excellence. An understanding of the player as a person beyond the capabilities demonstrated on the pitch is a driving factor. This allows for individualization of support and creation of development plans providing the player with the optimal opportunity to achieve their potential.

VISION

Our vision is to create a world class, successful, soccer club for all the communities and platform levels and abilities we serve. In addition, our ambition is to create the best “youth to pro” soccer club in the US, with clear links and connection to our community.

COLLEGE PLACEMENT

AHFC has a network that reaches all levels of collegiate soccer. One of the strengths of our college placement program is the contact the club and staff have at topnotch colleges and universities all over the country. Our club has established a tremendous reputation with college coaches and is known as one of the top clubs nationally because of the student athletes who have gone on to play at the college level.

Our players are performing at all levels of collegiate soccer from top twenty NCAA programs to programs at Division 1, 2, and 3, NAIA and Junior college levels.

AHFC continually seeks out the highest level of competition and exposure throughout the country. Our Boys and Girls teams perform at top tournaments and showcases across the nation. We personally invite coaches in town to watch our players perform. AHFC features a yearly college night to help educate our players in the recruiting process. Our college bound player info can be found on CaptainU.
