DAPHNE STRIKE SOCCER CLUB IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT SEEKS TO INSTILL RESPECT AND ENHANCE CHARACTER AND CONFIDENCE IN ALL MEMBERS.

RECREATIONAL SOCCER IS A PROGRAM THAT IS PRIMARILY DEVOTED TO THE ENJOYMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF SOCCER PLAYERS WITHOUT THE EMPHASIS ON TRAVEL OR HIGH LEVEL COMPETITION. THE PURPOSE OF RECREATIONAL SOCCER IS TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PARTICIPANTS TO HAVE FUN, LEARN THE SPORT AND DEVELOP LIFE SKILLS INCLUDING A LIFELONG LOVE OF THE GAME. WE WILL STRIVE TO INSTILL A LOVE FOR THE GAME IN OUR YOUNG PLAYERS AND CULTIVATE THAT PASSION AS EACH ATHLETE MATURES. WE WILL LOOK TO BUILD PRIDE IN OUR INDIVIDUALS, OUR TEAMS, AND OUR CLUB. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT THAT ALLOWS EACH PLAYER TO EXPERIENCE THE THRILL OF HEALTHY COMPETITION, PARTICIPATION AND THE CHALLENGE OF IMPROVEMENT. THE DAPHNE STRIKE RECREATION PROGRAM TAKES PRIDE IN THE GROWTH OF CLUB MEMBERS AS ATHLETES, STUDENTS AND RESPONSIBLE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN.
