Blueprint for Development

Since Bainbridge Island FC (BIFC) was established in 1983, we have been helping young players develop in the game of soccer around Kitsap County. Much has changed over that time. BIFC has evolved from a solely recreational soccer program to a primary soccer provider for hundreds of young female and male players. This evolution moved forward with the inception of Select Soccer on the island in 2000.

At the time of this document’s publication, approximately 1000 youth players are looking to BIFC for their primary soccer instruction.  This instruction ranges from 1-3 training sessions a week plus a game.  That responsibility has forced BIFC to continually examine the quality of instruction and developmental approach that underlies the organization.  The Blueprint for Development is essentially a culmination of that self-examination over a number of years.

As this review is ongoing at the club level, the Blueprint for Development will be an organic document that matures as the organization evolves.  We encourage you to read this blueprint to better understand the developmental approach taken at BIFC.
