It is important to understand that AUFC is a very different organization from any other soccer club in the City or the State. All other clubs are essentially loose confederations of coaches. The individual coach has control of his or her team and has the ability to set the standards, training and direction of that team. Clubs provide some additional resources but do not have the organizational structure, the resources or desire to provide a unified, comprehensive program for education and development of the sport. As such there is great disparity in philosophy, policy and quality of training from team to team in all other clubs.
AUFC is structured as a corporate entity. It has ownership, a Board of Directors, and a Management Team with an extensive number of paid professionals. With support from its volunteer coaches, AUFC is developing and implementing an organized, comprehensive system for the training and development of our players.
