How is Travel in keeping with the Dynamo Philosophy?
Even with the increased competitive nature of the Travel League, Dynamo continues to emphasize development of fundamental soccer skills, knowledge of the rules of soccer, and good sporting behavior. We want our players to learn the game, to build character, to set objectives and to strive toward them, to gain personal confidence and pride, and to have FUN. The winning of games is the focus of the play not the measure of success. Our primary objective is to teach children how to play soccer. The US Youth Soccer Association also advocates this philosophy of developing players while having fun. It is a philosophy that takes the long view – and that is to encourage players to continue to play soccer throughout their lives. Players who enjoy the game will stick with it through their teenage years and, hopefully, into their adult careers.
