Meet Your Newly Elected Director of Coaching, Chris (Shep) Shepard
As the new DOC, I want to change the way we approach training at Fair Oaks Soccer Club. The best players in the world understand the game on a level uncommon in our country. My time in Barcelona was eye-opening. I witnessed American academy players whose speed of play and mastery of time and space was beyond anything I’ve seen here. Across the training pitches of FC Barcelona I witnessed a unified methodology introduced by Johan Cruyff which has produced some of the greatest players in the world. Modern research in cognitive development and pedagogy supports this methodology as does the consistent success of FC Barcelona. In my personal experience with club and high school teams, the results are measurable and the resultant playing style is unique and entertaining. I am excited and grateful for the opportunity to serve and look forward to an exciting future for Fair Oaks Soccer Club.

FOSC FIELD UPDATES AND EFFORTS
As a community club, one of our main efforts have been working with the community school district (SJUSD) and Fair Oaks Park District in order to significantly increase the quality of our playing fields. These efforts include integrating our club members into park events, partnering with area organizations and working closer with the school district board to ensure our concerns are not only heard but met.
Our challenges include and increase love for the game of soccer, Fair Oaks has limited space offerings and the amount of volunteers willing to assist is not increasing with the popularity of the sport.
HIGHLIGHTED FIELD ACTIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
FORPD will be redoing the irrigation at Phoenix Park to modernize the park irrigation and begin working on each field individually. FOSC will be instrumental in providing volunteers, funding and continued support of these improvements. This work is scheduled to begin this year.
FOSC has held multiple meetings with SJUSD to increase the irrigation, seeding and maintenance of Andrew Carnegie. As a result, they have released our ability to assist in these efforts and opened the opportunity for us to maintain the fields under our permits. This is a HUGE step because we are not reliant on the district any longer. As a community club, it is imperative that we step up and get this field where we expect it. More to come on this throughout 2020, as we will be requesting volunteers assist in the maintenance. If you are interested in learning more or volunteering , please contact us at comments@fairoakssoccer.org.
