Club Statement
The accomplishments and success of this club are well
known. The number of State, Regional and National Cup titles are
certainly important, but there is more to our club than just
Championships.
We instill a love for the game in our players and cultivate that passion
as each athlete matures. We create an atmosphere that allows each
player to experience the thrill of competition and participation, and the
challenge of development. The Michigan Wolves-Hawks Soccer Club
takes pride in the growth of club members as players, students, and
responsible young men and women.
Youth Statement
Our youth development program is a vital factor in our club's continuing
success. As coaches and educators, we are well aware of the
importance of providing a solid foundation for young players. The
future development and success of a young player depend on receiving
correct and relevant information at an early age. We have designed a
curriculum that emphasizes age-specific technical skills combined
with tactical decision-making to ensure the right information is received
at the appropriate age level. In the coming season, we have
strengthened our coaching staff to make certain our club leads the state
in this essential area of player development.
This fall, the Michigan Wolves - Hawks Soccer Club will introduce a new
component to their nationally ranked club program: the Wolves -
Hawks Academy, the club coaches will have the ability to pass on their
knowledge and passion for the game to the very youngest players.
