A Friendly Reminder to all Families and Fans!
Please remember the TVSC “Code of Conduct” that clearly requires that there be “No Coaching” from the sideline at any time!
To a credit to all of our families, the behavior on the sidelines this season has been very good. However, recently there has been an increase in the instances of parents giving or shouting directions to their children during games. This behavior can be very detrimental to the development of all of the children and often results in indecision and distraction for the players on the field.
Please respect the TVSC Code of Conduct by encouraging your children, not directing or coaching them! Leave the coaching to the coach and all will benefit!
Thank you for your support of this policy!

Tri Valley SC U10 Boys Team Inter Wrap Up Spring Play!
New beginnings are usually filled with hope and promise, and the formation of the 2009 Under-10 boy’s team, Tri Valley SC Inter, is no exception. Comprised of players who share a passion for the game, the Inter roster represents a variety of nationalities and unique blend of cultures, that have helped create a magnificent environment on and off the field.
The club has been successful in providing Team Inter with a training environment that emphasizes a strong technical foundation and creativity. Players are continually improving and demonstrating their skill and creativity in training and games. As the summer and fall seasons approach, lifelong friendships will be forged, skills will be improved and games will be won and lost, while the team continues to build on its success from spring.
While players and coaches are ultimately accountable for a team’s development, much of this team’s success can be attributed to the Inter families and their support of the club’s player development philosophy. It is rare that an entire parent group understands and agrees with the process of true player development versus the win at all cost mentality. This support helps foster an environment that truly focuses on long-term player development and is in the best interest of each player.
If the steady development Team Inter has seen over the first few months of training is any indication of future play, there is no doubt that the boys will exceed expectations for years to come.
