Overview

Mission

Windsor Warriors Athletic Football Club is a Youth community soccer club that is intended to provide a low cost high quality soccer experience for our area, as well as work to educate our student athletes on the positive aspects of life. Hard work, networking, and creating goals are keys to achieving success. The goal is to have a positive impact and to help successfully direct its player's lives. In addition, our coaches work with the student athletes in developing self-confidence and how to exhibit leadership through participation on the team that is highly competitive with a strong emphasis on academics and community service.

What it reported doing in 2025

WE CURRENTLY SERVICE APPROXIMATELY 510 YOUNG STUDENT ATHLETES. WE OBSERVED TREMENDOUS DEVELOPMENT IN THESE YOUNG INDIVIDUALS AND WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE NOT ONLY IN ATHLETICS BUT ALSO IN THEIR EDUCATIONAL SKILLS. IN 2025, WE WERE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN SEVERAL TOURNAMENTS, ESTABLISH PLAYER STATS AND CERTIFY COACHING. WE HAVE GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY AS MANY STUDENTS WERE TRAVELING TO FORT COLLINS, HOWEVER, NOW THERE IS A COMPETITIVE CHOICE IN WINDSOR. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TOWN OF WINDSOR. THE TOWN RUNS ONE OF THE MOST WELL RESPECTED RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS IN THE AREA AND IS RECOGNIZED AS SUCH STATE WIDE. THIS RELATIONSHIP WILL ALLOW US TO ORGANICALLY GROW AS THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF WINDSOR CONTINUE TO TRACK POSITIVELY FOR YOUNG FAMILIES MOVING TO THE AREA.IN ORDER TO BETTER EXPLAIN OUR VALUES TO PARENTS AND OUR STUDENT ATHLETES, WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR VALUES: What we do, at its core, is really just about people and relationships..the beautiful game of soccer is simply a vehicle for the growth and development of both! Promoting trust and connection with the players and their parents is at the center of our coaching - we want to create strong bonds with these kids and treat them as unique individuals. The TEAM provides the scaffolding for individual player development..and like Rudyard Kipling wrote in The Jungle Book, The strength of the wolf is the pack, and the strength of the pack is the wolf. Enjoyment is our priorityits that simple. We believe that if our kids truly enjoy their experience and time with our Club, then the likelihood of them continuing to be involved in sports during their lifetime, in one form or another, is significantly increased! We cant wait to see our kids playing adult soccer and one day coaching the next generation of young players! As such, we hope to create the ripples on the pond! We want our Club to help redefine notions of success and failure in youth sports. As the late great John Wooden once said, Success is peace of mind in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming. Therefore, the only real failure is that of not bravely trying your best! We want our kids and coaches to relearn their ABCs and Always Be Curious. We give them the support and freedom to lean into their mistakes as this is how we learn. There is no perfection, only progress! As our TV hero Ted Lasso once said, Be a goldfish and quickly learn and move on from errors. Character is everything. We are working to instill a Warrior Spirit in our young people. Central to this are concepts of resilience, effort, competitiveness and accountability. One of our mantras is that The score is always 0-0.....on the pitch and in life. Just keep going!?? As a Club, we are striving to achieve World Class intangibles! The reality is that the Windsor Athletic FC may not end up producing World Class players but we can work to create a special culture renowned for our excellence in regards to IPC - Integrity, Positivity and Connectivity. Further to the above, we support our opponents. We applaud their effort, brilliance and positive play! We compliment their players, coaches and supporters! This might sound unusual but this is the epitome of sportsmanship and we want to be a model club for promoting and encouraging the growth and excellence of ALL young players - even if they are not yet our players!! Our Club supports our match day officials. Referees are essential for our sport so we appreciate, honor and respect them. We are committed to helping improve the shortage of referees in the sport of soccer nationwide by being a leader in our behavior towards them and in our efforts to grow the refereeing talent pool locally. We are a united, grassroots and community oriented soccer Club, not just a collection of separate teams siloed off from one another, and our Windsor Athletic culture, beliefs and values will always win the day.
