NEW MEXICO CLASH SOCCER CLUB OFFICIAL STATEMENTS
February 8, 2008

Mission Statement:

The New Mexico Clash Soccer Club is a youth-player and community oriented institution that serves the greater Albuquerque and Rio Rancho area by integrating the game of soccer, education, and sports performance research, while celebrating the attributes of childhood and recognizing the importance that positive, encouraging and constructive participation in sports has on the healthy development of children. -- We achieve this by a club-wide focus on age appropriate, player-oriented activities and instruction with a special focus on apposite communication practices, positive feedback, and enjoyment of the game of soccer.

The New Mexico Clash Soccer Club clearly perceives that its success depends upon appreciation of the confidence that parents place upon our staff in regards to the physical, emotional and psychological well being of their children. The Club, therefore, imperiously emphasizes the importance of the gradual development of individual technical skills, tactical and strategic knowledge, within the context of playing the game, and the understanding that winning is much more a process of development than merely the outcome of a match.
