 About Overlea Evolution FC

OEFC is a competitive travel soccer program for youth players.  Our teams play year round, both indoor and outdoor, against other travel teams in or near the Baltimore Metropolitan Area, and they also participate in local tournaments.   OEFC teams are formed through a competitive tryout process, and players will be expected to make certain commitments to their coaches, their team, and themselves if they are selected for one of our teams.

 Mission, Vision, and Guiding Principles

Mission

The Mission of OEFC is to develop successful, well-rounded individuals who exhibit good sportsmanship, ethical and moral behavior, and good citizenship; both on and off the soccer field.

Through the game of soccer, we teach the core values and guiding principles necessary to promote ethical, responsible, and well-reasoned life decisions.

We promote sportsmanship by winning with humility, accepting criticism with poise, learning from our mistakes, and growing from our failures while fostering an environment that allows players to reach their full potential and love for the game of soccer.

Vision

Our vision at OEFC is three-fold:

1. Recognition - To be recognized as one of the top youth soccer programs in Maryland; constantly improving the proper balance of development AND competition at all times.
2. Development - To consistently develop and produce top-level soccer atheletes who are fully prepared for success at whatever level of play they aspire to reach (club, high-school, collegiate)
3. Training and Support - To provide the best training and support available for our players, coaches, and parents.

Guiding Principles

The OEFC Travel Soccer Program is geared to be a positive and instructional athletic experience for all participants.  In this program, learning to play well and fairly is the essence of the game.  Everyone should remember their attitude is contagious.  The other team is our opponent, not our enemy, and thus, should be treated with respect.

All participants in the program should adhere to the following at all times:

1. Coaches should not be openly or directly criticized before, during or after games.  Bear in mind that the coaches are volunteers.  Any questions or comments regarding coaches shall be addressed to the program coordinator.
2. Only positive sideline support will be tolerated.  Cheering at all games should be within the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship, regardless of the outcome of the match.
3. Best efforts will be made to teach the players to become students of the game.
4. At each and every match, players should display good sportsmanship by shaking hands with their opponents and coaches as well as the officials, without regard to the results of the match.
5. Coaches and players should strive to be on time and prepared for every practice and match.  Players who are unable to attend practices or games must give prior notices to their coach or team manager.
6. Improper behavior at a match, practice, or other Evolution FC sponsored activity may result in the participant being asked to leave the field or the event.  Continued improper behavior may be grounds for dismissal from the program.
7. The coaching should be left to the coach(es) during the match.  Parents must refrain from giving their children instructions during the match.
