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.
News Update
No new update at this time. The page is under construction for the Fall 2025 season.
Team Overview
Warriors NXT 2013-14 is a cohort of 3 6th grade soccer teams from the Brookline Soccer Club. Our teams are Fulham, Porto, and Roma. We play 9v9 games with a size 4 ball within the Boston Area Youth Soccer league. You can find our schedules in BAYS from this page by looking for your team under the Brookline Soccer Club Teams section.
Our Vision
Provide a fun and rewarding developmental soccer experience for 5th and 6th grade boys that progresses them towards their soccer goals whether that ranges from playing at Brookline High School or creating a life-long love of the Beautiful Game.
Game Model
During the 2024-2025 the teams successfully trained and played games using our Game Model as the framework for how we approach the game. Sam and coaching staff created the Game Model (combination of philosophy and framework) for that training year and have updated it for this season. It is a living document that will be updated throughout the season to reflect our understanding of how we play.
We will share the most current version of our Game Model here. It lays out everything from our vision, culture, style, and more. As part of this I want to highlight the culture we have built and will maintain.
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.

Weekly Keeper Training
Keepers do this additional training. To be a good keeper you need to be good with your hands AND your feet. That often means you need to put in twice the time as field players because you need to have the foot skills of a field player and the hand skills of a keeper.
