Total Demize Soccer Club

Club Model

Total Demize Soccer Club is committed to providing the most unique soccer club experience in southwest Missouri. In addition to 15+ youth teams playing in leagues all over the midwest, the organization is capable of taking players all the way from early childhood through the semi-professional level of play in the United Soccer League (USL, Premier Development League (PDL).

Total Demize Soccer Club (TDSC) and Total Demize Soccer Academy (TDSA) is committed to developing great people and enhancing the community through soccer. TDSC will prepare young players how to play soccer both technically and tactically, in a safe and constructive environment while also participating at the highest level of national and international competition.

The club is also committed to preparing players to be successful scolar-athletes in high school and college. This will be accomplished through education on healthy lifestyle choices and the college recruiting process. TDSC and TDSA will be recognized as a community leader in player participation in club sponsored outreach programs and as the sponsor of an annual soccer tournament, the Friendship Cup.

Mission

TDSC and TDSA were established for the specific purpose of developing a competitive youth soccer program whose goals are to achieve state, regional, and national soccer championship titles, as well as developing players capable of receiving college scholarships based on their playing ability and academic achievement. However, realization of these goals must be accomplished within the proper framework by instilling character, self-esteem, confidence, and sportsmanship within the youth athlete.

Achievement of these lofty and worthwhile objectives within the appropriate environment can only be reached through the mature behavior and the exemplary conduct of the coaches, parents, and officials of the Club. Their relationship with the players must be of the highest ethical and moral standards and be based upon concern and just principles that ensure equitable treatment prevails in all circumstances.

An aggressive desire for victory combined with the procedural and graduated development of soccer skills through exceptional coaching and advanced training techniques is of paramount importance. Nevertheless, realization by all that soccer remains only a game is an inherent aspect of the philosophy of the Club that must always be recognized.

TDSC and our coaching staff strive to attract players and parents with these common interests:

creating an environment in which players can reach their full potential and achieve the self-confidence and positive self-esteem necessary to be successful both on and off the soccer field.
developing individual skills, and team tactics to enable players and/or teams to compete at the state, regional, and national level.
preparing and assisting college bound players in obtaining playing opportunities and scholarships.
guidance of prospective college student-athletes and young professionals.
promoting the game of soccer.
