At RPB Strikers, we tailor coaching assignments to align with both anticipated player enrollment for specific age groups and the actual number of players who join our club. This flexible approach allows us to create the most effective team dynamics and coaching matches.

As a club-based program, RPB Strikers prioritizes the development of all players within the club framework. This means that when your child joins, they become part of the broader club community, not just a specific team or coach. Throughout the season, players and coaches may move between groups to ensure the best fit for everyone's growth and development. These decisions are thoughtfully made by our Director of Coaching, considering factors such as each coach's strengths and each player’s skill level, commitment, and attitude, aiming to foster a positive and competitive environment.

We also keep our teams open for new players to join throughout the season, welcoming fresh talent and energy to continually enhance our community. We invite you to become part of our club, where we are committed to nurturing young athletes in a supportive and dynamic soccer environment.
