Introduction

Welcome to the Warriors NXT 2013-14 team page. Here you will find information we share about how we play and soccer in general. Each week during the season the News Update section will be updated with what has changed on the page. The Weekly Training and Weekly Keeper Training sections will be updated each week. And, randomly through the season other parts of the site will be updated and then the News Update section will reflect that. The page is maintained by Coach Sam with input from the entire coaching staff. 

New Updates

Update the Week 1 training. 

Culture

The B6 cohort has multiple teams with a tremendous range of players with a diverse relationship with the Beautiful Game. Our goal is to make all of them welcome while creating a culture that enables all of them to reach their soccer goals. Additionally, the coaching staff firmly believes that we are developing more than just soccer players. We are developing future citizens and leaders within our community and the values  they develop on the soccer field are critical in their development as young men.

Warriors NXT Values

  • Respectful – we treat everyone with dignity
  • Focused – when we are at practice or a game we are talking and thinking about soccer
  • Supportive – we support each other as players and people
  • Growth Mindset – we strive to get better
  • Warrior Spirit – we play with intensity and we always strive to win and never give up
