Timbers-Thorns North FC

Club Mission Statement

"To provide a positive atmosphere for players to develop their soccer skills both technically and tactically as well as to develop positive off-field characteristics such as sportsmanship, dedication, honesty, commitment, respect for others, a strong work ethic, and sense of self-worth."

History

Developed in 1985, Coeur d'Alene Sting began with a group of parents who wanted to provide a positive atmosphere in which their children could learn and develop soccer skills.

​

In May 2016, Sting Premier Soccer Club became the second club in Idaho and the ninth in Northwest to join the Adidas Portland Timbers Alliance and Sting Timbers FC was formed.

​

Two years later in May 2018, Sting and another local North Idaho team, North Idaho Inferno FC, merged to become Timbers-Thorns North FC with 34 teams and 680 youth participating in U5 - U19 age groups and developmental programs.

Coaching Philosophy

  • We are educators. Our first priority is to make sure that they kids have a good time, second is learning the game, winning doesn't come until third.

  • We believe that ball control is the fun part of the game. The ball is everything, this is how we score; this is also how we keep them from scoring. 

  • We will encourage thought behind every touch on the ball and play defensively as a unit.

  • We are open coaches and will discuss our thoughts, ideas, and choices, however, we require a grace period before and after games or practice. 

  • Life lessons carry over from soccer lessons: time, attention to detail, and discipline and character.
