The Mission of Overlea Soccer

Overlea soccer's mission is to promote the ideas of Sportsmanship, Responsibility, Community Pride, and Physical Fitness, without discrimination, to boys and girls of all abilities. To provide a supervised and safe environment, free of adult ambition, to learn the fundamentals of soccer. To encourage children's participation in soccer as an exciting, satisfying and rewarding social activity.

Sportsmanship: Learning to win and lose with pride and dignity. Not becoming overwhelmed with the emotions of the moment or to impact others negatively. Conducting oneself with integrity. Showing respect for other players, teammates and opponents, coaches, spectators and officials. Maintaining your sportsmanship through the victories and defeats, the good times and the bad.

Responsibility: Making and keeping a commitment to your team. Understanding that Soccer has a priority, and from time to time that priority needs to be assessed. Striving to help yourself and everyone around you reach their potentials. A true champion wins with regard to fairness and safety for all.

Community Pride: Taking pride in Overlea Soccer, in your community, in your state, and in this great country, The United States of America. Understand the privilege and tradition of playing for Overlea Soccer. Appreciating the unselfish hours donated by many parents and volunteers. Volunteering your time. Making a commitment to your program, your team, and your friends.

Physical Fitness: Understanding the importance of physical fitness. Setting realistic fitness goals and achieving them. Finding your strengths and weaknesses and building on them. Realizing that not everyone has the same abilities. Helping those less fortunate than yourself.
