Kernow Storm FC is a full service soccer organization. Storm FC has practice locations throughout the south of the Metroplex (I20 and south) and west in Weatherford. The club was registered as a non proďŹ t 501C3 entity in 2004, Our objective is not only to instil a love and passion for the game, but to encourage a family feel atmosphere to create memories and learn within a positive, safe environment. Storm FC offers our families and their players the opportunity to grow with us, as we prepare the young athletes for their next chapter in life, whether that be playing in college, trying to make it in the profession as a player, making sure they can navigate through the college process or to join the work force. Would you like your child to grow in a positive environment? To think of others? be active in community affairs and projects? Opportunities to improve their decision making and make better choices? Learn to live a healthy lifestyle? Be responsible and have good manners? Learn to not give up? Gain social skills and make life long friends? To be a good student? And most of all to become great citizens as they navigate life, with integrity, honesty, faith, high self esteem and conďŹ dence in their own ability and life? We take pride in what we do best and watch our players and families grow into fantastic young men and women. We hold centrally an age appropriate curriculum with a solid belief in our long term player development model but to combine our soccer organization with producing the complete person by the time they graduate our club. We hope to see past players return to the organization in a coaching or administrative capacity at a later date.
Storm FC way
Creating value through our behavior of positive and safe experiences
Storm FC is a responsible and caring organization. It takes pride in preparing youngsters for their career post Storm FC, whether that be in Soccer, college or directly into the working world. We take pride in preparing these players to be outstanding, proud and responsible citizens. Parents are a much valued part of our success. parents have a vital role to play in the development of the players, something we recognize and incorporate within our approach. Remember Storm FC has a responsibility to provide the very best education for your child, from coaching to developing character, leadership, values and a positive experience.
Confidence
We deliver an age appropriate curriculum which helps in developing confidence. “The difference with Storm FC is that they have a true calling to serve others. Thats what makes us special” ~Susan Strnad
Sustainable Value 1. Character Development 2. Social Growth 3. Communication Skills 4. Leadership Skills 5. Team Building Skills 6. Risk Aversion
Creativity
We want our players to be in charge of their development & urge thinking to find solutions to problems and situations.
Character Our driving force at the center of every practice, event, game, & club activity builds character on the basis of Faith, Honor and Respect (FHR). Members who embody character development will succeed with self belief, willing to serve others, discipline, pride, work ethic, loyalty, respect and leadership qualities.
Emotional Connection

Our approach to this leads to players staying longer which in turn allows the club to better teach the long term goals and players goals to create success in both their soccer careers and beyond graduation from Storm FC.
Competence Competence in not only individual soccer skills but also learning team competence and instilling positive social actions such as, decision making, interpersonal skills, as well as health, which includes developing good habits for nutrition and exercise to maintain fitness.
Storm fc Model
A player centered approach incorporating all aspects for youth development of life skills
Storm FC, as mentioned previously, believes that the popular pyramid model doesn’t put the SOCCER PLAYER at its core, but rather, continues promoting the “take the best and drop the rest” message. Our mission is to grow a love for the game for ALL players and keep families engaged in the sport for life. Our player and team development models are still our core business, after all we are a soccer club! but we do approach our soccer activities in a different way. We incorporate a family environment teaching sustainable values such as, leadership, communication, team building skills and community volunteer projects to work on.

Our aim is to provide the best possible platform for all players and their individual needs with our support to develop into both knowledgeable, technically efcient, good decision makers and of good character. The Player Development Pathway Model (PDP) has proven that on delivery of an age appropriate curriculum we can develop our young players the correct way. Our focus on long term development over short term gains and an “instant winning” mentality, has shown that at the key ages of 12/13 years old, our teams show good decision making, understanding of principles of play, roles and responsibilities within systems and much more. Combining values, discipline, respect, faith and condence, players become successful in life and not just on the soccer eld. The model shows how each player can navigate through programs to reach their desired outcome. The PDP doesn't follow status quo, but has programs that benet players individual needs, for example, the age determined by most leagues for post 10 years old, is that players must make a decision to play competitive or return to recreational teams. With the help of US Club Soccer we extended the academy age to 12. This helps players not ready for competitive play to still develop under the academy program, through th SCDL. In 2019 Storm FC was accepted into the UPSL (United Premier Soccer League), allowing us to complete our PDP model. A platform for players to have a clear pathway to professional Soccer, available for players 16 years and older. The roster will include two (2) roster spots for “Club Academy Homegrown players”. This inclusion allows players currently in the youth division to experience mens training and game speed. With a partnership developed with USL league clubs, we are able to have a clear pathway for players to compete at UPSL Professional Development leagues, who can then attend USL Professional combines for a chance to get selected, USL teams then have a mission to promote their players to the MLS Combine or draft.

development LEAGUE
Investing in our youth in a holistic approach is our passion, motivation and our key responsibility.
Storm FC has partnered with US Club Soccer to create a Southern Clubs Development League (SCDL) for players and teams 5-12 Years old. This matches with our long term development player pathway in which we can continue the development of players in the way we believe is right according to our club playing philosophy, instilling a knowledge of the game that will create players with good decision making, understanding of roles and responsibilities within a system of play within various phases of the game. The SCDL will be managed by Storm FC and a dedicated team of board members to insure players in the league have the best experience possible. The league will be played at both the Storm FC training facility in Waxahachie, and Cedar Hill SA.
Fig. 2: Typical models of player development from the majority of local soccer clubs.
Most local clubs have copied professional organizations in showing a pyramid development model. In our opinion this shows intentions that they are only looking for the best to keep, Here at Storm FC we care about every kid and that our job as coaches is to coach and improve the players and teams over their career with us.

FUNdaMINI’s
Having fun in a safe environment
Our Kickstarter FUNdaMINI’s program is designed for 18 months through Under 6 players. Our kids in this program are learning movement and fundamental body skills, such as eye hand coordination and improving motor skills, all while learning through a fun age appropriate curriculum. The program has a practice once a week followed by a non coached scrimmage/game. Teams from each week may change according to an attendance and no scores are kept. The parents are involved at the end by making a perimeter for the “pitch” and let the ball rebound back into play to maximize the time for the kids to touch the ball.
Our aim is to keep the games to 3v3, our older players participating in our volunteer program give their time to the program each week. Storm FC starts the process of instilling core values from our FUNdaMINI KickStarter phase of the PDP. Sign ups and practices are available throughout the year. Each session is once a week and combines a 30 minute “Practice followed by a game of about 15-20 minutes. Maximum participation for players and their individual needs is paramount. Parents are encouraged to participate with their child, even making up the perimeter of game fields so they can touch balls back into play for maximum touches. Goal scoring from the earliest age is promoted in any goal (we may setup for a game numerous goals for maximum success) and we aren't worried about direction, as the players improve and they get older so we will apply more soccer orientated rules. First and foremost we want the players to acquire a love for the game, and to be successful.
Storm FC’s mission is to create a love for the game through learning and by having a curriculum based Long Term Player Development Pathway from the moment they join our organization to the time they graduate. The EDP targets our phase 1-3 on the Player Pathway Model, (PDP) this is the fundamentals stage through training to train stage. The program focus’ on developing motor movement, coordination (eye - hand - feet), correct bio-mechanical movement of basic soccer skills, leading to developing skills enhancing an affinity and comfort for players to be creative and condent on the ball. Storm FC’s FUNdaMINIs program is the fundamental stage to the EDP initiative, The FUNdaMINIs program is held at various EDC’s (Early Development Centers) and will eventually be available in every community that we have a presence in. Other EDC’s incorporating our EDP curriculum are local schools, day cares, mother days out, nurseries and churches. EDC’s will host EDL’s (Early Development Leagues), Where 3v3 leagues are encouraging the use of skills attained. These that be in

Jr. Academy Introducing core skills and principles for ages U5-12 to increase conďŹ dence
The program for players aged Under 5 through Under 12 is called our Storm FC youth academy. Players in this program may choose to continue to play recreational soccer in addition to academy or choose to play academy only. Players 5U, 6U, 11U and 12U that wish to play academy plays in our SCDL development league giving them the necessary tools to move to competitive teams. The difference between recreational play and our academy programs is that players may be selected to be on an academy team opposed to having to being drafted. Players in the academy program will have organized structured practices led by professional coaches with years of experience, many of who coached in European professional club systems. Players can join at any time if there is space on their age teams roster. Seasons are similar to recreational leagues with the fall season starting around labor day and ending around Halloween. Spring season starts typically in early February. Academy teams practice continuously throughout the year and often compliment league play through weekend tournaments off season Storm FC has an age appropriate curriculum to guide young soccer players through their academy years in preparation for competitive play. Academy games can be on either Sundays or Saturdays depending on the league and whether teams want to play more than one game on a weekend. Registration takes place in July of each year, players must get an academy form signed twice a year by North Texas SA and|or US Club Soccer depending on their league (there is a fee for this by those organizations that Storm FC has no authority over. All programs are open to boys and girls.

On our 15th anniversary, Storm FC completed the PDP program by agreeing to join the professional development league, UPSL. The United Premier Soccer League has been growing across the nation for a number of years and acts as a springboard for players to pursue their ambitions of playing professionally. Storm FC is committed to players and their personal and soccer development, the ability to add another layer for our players post High School graduation was key to completing our PDP model. 2019 will see the inaugural mens team compete with the ladies competing in 2020. The mens program will be run as professionally as possible. Storm FC has built partnerships in clubs competing in the USL leagues showing our commitment to providing a clear pathway to pro and continue “Now I have the opportunity to our support and investment into these players continue playing at a high level and maintain my college eligibility� who have graduated from our youth program. ~ Raymond K.

CORE 360 PRogram
Individualized CORE training. phase related attainments to produce the total 360 player
Our 360 CORE player development program was created out of the individual needs of our players. In most cases teams practice twice a week for up to 2 hours, 48 weeks of the year and we can quickly see that a player without any additional work has between 96-144 hours invested (based on between 1-1.5 hours of actual touches on ball per practice). Coaches cannot possibly cover all of the needs in that time, most will have to pick one or two areas to work on. Our 360 CORE covers the 3 areas you will need to be the complete player. 1. Technical - ball condence & SAQ (Our TPPT - Technical Players Performance Training) 2. Tactical - Understanding principles of play and systems (our IPD - Innovative Player development) 3. Skills - how, when and where to beat players one on one. (our Skills 11 program) Coaches from other clubs may just work on one of those areas. We believe all the areas are important. We have camps, programs and online resources to help our players achieve the necessary “complete player”. We complete the program with our Storm FC Street 5v5 program. This program has no coaching, encourages parents not to coach and is completely player led. Players select the teams, when to start and how they will play. This encourages freedom of play, decision making and instills a love for the game. This program is a 6-week program typically in the winter period.

Creating players with ball confidence and mastery at a pace that suits each player
The 360 CORE player program was created out of the individual needs of the player, to assist in expression and decision making, exploration of creativity through street style non systematic coaching. The program as a whole focuses on phases 2 through 4 on our PDP model. TPPT, part of our 360 CORE player development program is our Technical Players Performance Training module. This module concentrates on a number of key attributes required by modern players: 1. SAQ - speed, agility and quickness. Position specic training, working on coordination, body shape, improving biomechanics for improvement of speed and off the ball movements. 2. Ball manipulation - helping players become comfortable on the ball through repetitions of ball moving exercises using both feet. Lots of touches using various parts of the foot. “Storm Skills 11 Move” program is an online visual aid tool helping players to become comfortable on our CORE ball manipulation exercises. 3. 1st Touch - improving receiving of the ball through repetitive training exercises to become comfortable on receiving with various parts of the body and in various situations.

The 360 CORE other two modules are IPD (Innovative Player Development) program and the Skills 11 program. The IPD module concentrates on a number of key understandings required by modern players: 1. Principles of play - providing players with a good understanding through principles of defending, possession, attacking and creating an understanding of transition between the principle phases. Each principle is simpliď€ ed and built up depending on the individual or teams needs 2. Roles and Responsibilities - understanding roles and responsibilities within a system of play, on both sides of the ball. Understanding why and how to play in differing systems of play, what the advantages and disadvantages are.

Skills 11 - the third part of the program teaches players 1v1 moves. Players understand the why, when, how and where to perform 1v1s. 1. Face to Face - 1v1 moves attacking defenders head on 2. Side to Side - 1v1s with opponent on players side 3. Diagonally - 1v1s attacking or defender is diagonal 4. Back to goal - 1v1 with goal or opposition to players back
BIO BANDING SYSTEM
Staying at cutting edge coaching methods and modern techniques sets us apart from other youth clubs
Storm FC’s Bio Banding program is at the forefront of our PDP program beginning at phase 4. This level is where growth differences are the greatest. Bio Banding also monitors phase 3 players within our PDP model. Bio banding is conducted in 6 week blocks throughout the year. Players are grouped according to growth and maturation stages opposed to chronological age. Methods used to group players are either using current height, weight and PHV, the other is predicting PAH using the Khamis-Roche Method, although this way is not preferred. In layman’s terms players are matched based on physical attributes and maturity, this will allow players to develop greater condence with the ability to compete with similarly matched players. This helps in skill training such as aerial ball winning, typically like for like pace competition and players not getting bullied of balls due to size. We have found teams constructed using the new USSF mandated calendar year guidelines can have very different biological age differences (for ex. strength, height and speed) this can last for several years, at which a player that is later in maturation suffers through regular team training and competition. This program utilizes the CORE 360 Program by having station skills followed by a small sided tournament style games (5v5, 6v6, 7v7 depending on numbers in program). Future plans include holding a club and local community BioBanded festival that would match players according to maturation and not calendar year.
BIO BANDING PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
College tools
Creating ways to highlight our players in preparation and identiďŹ cation
College recruiting tools such as showcase tournaments have become a very crowded space. We have seen showcases become super tournaments with over 200 teams. How many players are watching these players in a weekend? the cost to the teams for these tournaments can be well upwards of $1200 per tournament. Storm FC believes attending the right showcases can be of a beneď€ t, especially for those players connected with a preferred college coach. But in many cases the number of coaches able to watch all the showcase games are slim. Storm FC has selected tools that allow players to be proactive even when playing in their Storm FC or City FC environment. HUDL - is an online program that allows media content to be trimmed into highlights. Those highlights can be sent to college coaches with schedules. This tool is also used by our coaches for post game analysis and periodization planning. Field Level - another online platform, this one aims at connecting athlete with college coaches. There are many platforms available that pinpoint athlete recruitment. Field Level separates itself by connecting players and the club coach. Club coaches give player recommendations about their players to interested college coaches inquiring. Storm FC College Series - 3 part series in the fall season helping families and players navigate ď€ nancial, club tools and coaches panels questions or concerns. College Selextion - a tool provided by our uniform partner XARA soccer. Using the database from the Sport Source, this tool helps all players regardless of intent to play in college or not. Next Level College Combine - Hosted by Storm FC, this event is completed in the spring season. Next Level connects seniors and juniors with motivated college coaches with immediate roster needs for their program.
COACHES Our coaches experience and knowledge are key our organizations PDP (Player Development Pathway) model
Storm FC has coaches with experience from some of the best leagues in the world as well as coaches that are club home grown. Our coaches invest thousands of hours over the lifetime of each team, with our Player Development Pathway model ensuring that the club coaches are teaching the club philosophy, playing style and player understanding of the game. The organization encourages our players to return as coaches from college as they understand the “Storm FC Way”. We currently have three club home grown coaches that have shown great understanding with their teams and insure improvement each year. Our coaches invest in the value in our club philosophy & the player development pathway & curriculum all of which creates fantastic coaches and teachers of the game. We have coaches who have coached at the very top of the English and Scottish Pro league youth academy teams. These coaches have a responsibility to help our club coaches with their personal coaching growth. Our coaches are all licensed either through, The FA (England) Scottish FC (Scotland) USC (United Soccer Coaches) USSF (United States Soccer Federation) & LaLiga (Spanish). Storm FC’s Technical Director, Antony Penna, has over 25 years of professional coaching experience, his understanding and playing philosophy has been collated over the years from his experiences into a coaching manual only available to our club coaches. Our organization is very active in supporting our coaches to further their knowledge and understanding by encouraging them to attend coaching courses, seminars and club continued education led by the Technical Director, Antony Penna.

We have also had Karl Fellows also with the womens team. Rangers saw Alan Kernaghan (Rep. of Ireland and Manchester City Defender), from Partick Thistle, Head of youth Scott Allison and Joe Malcomson of the Thistle Weir Academy.
Glasgow Rangers FC camp offered the chance for our players to be selected to visit the Rangers FC Training facility in Glasgow. We have sent four players over the past years to experience what it’s like to train as a professional or academy player in the Scottish premiership. We have a partnership with both Rangers and Partick to send our coaches over for a week long coaching experience along with a boys team who will train at the centers and compete in the Glasgow Cup.
