About Us - Phoenix FC
Welcome to Phoenix FC!
We've proudly been Sherwood Park's Soccer Association since 1976! In that time, we've involved the residents of our community as players, coaches, fans, and more!
We believe in the power of positivity, and the joy that comes through the process of discovery and human development. All of our programs are built with these core tenets in mind...
Our 4 Pillars of Coaching:
- Players Experience FUN by working hard & trying their best,
- Players connecting through Positive Team Spirit (doing things together, "igniting the furnace of human connection"),
- Players demonstrating growth through Positive Coaching, and
- Increased Player commitment through frequent Learning and Improvement.
Our Youth Program Offerings:
