Overview & Philosophy                   

Philosophy

The Albion Hurricanes FC's philosophy is to develop youth soccer players both technically and tactically in a possession and attacking oriented game. Our goal is to teach players to have the ability to adapt and play different positions as well as different systems of play on the field. Preparation for the next and highlest level of play includes serious and committed players who are students of the game and passionate about our sport. When we say next level, we're talking State team Olympic Development Program ("ODP"), Regional team ODP, National team, College and Professionally. We desire our style of play to be visually different from most clubs, a style of play that stands out. Our vision is to make Albion Hurricanes FC (AHFC) one of the best in the nation through mastering the fundamentals. By doing this we will prepare players for the next level and set the pace that transforms our club into National Champion status.

A full service club, AHFC offers all levels of play for Boys and Girls including Division 1, Super 2, Division 2, Recreational and Developmental teams from 8 - 19 years of age.  All AHFC teams train at our Campbell Road complex or our Sping Woods Middle School complex.

Consistent training methods are maintained at all levels of the club.  Any players who desires to move up to play at a higher level within the club will have the opportunity to advance. Our goal is for all of our players to have a passion and undeniable love for the game whether or not they aspire to play beyond high school.  We, as a staff, continually work to embrace this philosophy in order to make AHFC one of the best clubs in the nation.

College Placement

The Albion Hurricanes FC has a network that reaches all levels of collegiate soccer. One of the strengths of our college placement program is the contact the club and staff have at topnotch colleges and universities all over the country. Our club has established a tremendous reputation with college coaches and is known as one of the top clubs nationally because of the student athletes who have gone on to play at the college level. Our players are performing at all levels of collegiate soccer from top twenty NCAA programs to programs at Division 1, 2, and 3, NAIA and Junior college levels. AHFC continually seeks out the highest level of competition and exposure throughout the country. Our Boys and Girls teams perform at top tournaments and showcases across the nation. We personally invite coaches in town to watch our players perform. The AHFC feature a yearly college night to help educate our players in the recruiting process.  Our college bound player info can be found on a special website: collegebound.albionhurricanes.org
