"Newton Youth Soccer aims to create a player-centric program that instills a lifelong appreciation of the beautiful game."

The tenets of our program are:

1. Competency: Soccer players must be confident with the ball at their feet(both of them). They need to learn to make decisions in attack, defense and transition. This is a time-on-task endeavor and we seek to give each player as much time with a ball as possible so that each can master the technical aspects of the game.

2. Confidence: Acquiring technical ball skills develops confident players that look to actively participate while on and off the ball. We recognize that soccer is a "players' game" in which coaches and parents should have appropriate levels of direction and control, especially during games, so that players can learn by doing, including making "mistakes". We want to develop players that have the confidence to learn from mistakes, and to embrace competing with total effort.

3. Community: Our organization serves the entire Newton community and is dependent upon youth participants and adult volunteers at all levels of abilities, on and off the field.
