Club Benefits – Irish Soccer Club

Alton Fighting Irish Soccer Club

A Disciplined Training Approach - Our players benefit from certified coaches and trainers who take training and skills development seriously. Our trainers are former college and/or professional players who know what it takes to succeed at all levels.

By challenging our players to improve each training and practice session, we instill in them a desire to achieve their full potential. We believe all players are capable of constant improvement."Give your best effort" is a phrase we live by, and an expectation we instill in our players.

We are confident our training process will produce players who are achieving their highest potential. While every player is different and unique - each player can get better when they combine their own dedication with our high quality training and skills instruction.
