ORIGINAL MISSION STATEMENT DRAFTED 1998 BY JUDGE GORDON MCALLISTER, WSA'S FIRST PRESIDENT The mission of the West Side Alliance soccer club is to provide a competitive soccer experience to boys and girls who desire to compete at an elite level of soccer. West Side Alliance will create a safe, first-class environment which allows kids to learn teamwork, responsibility, self-motivation and self-discipline while experiencing the joy of the game of soccer. The experience will be available to players irrespective of financial hardships. This will be done by keeping costs at a minimum, providing need based scholarships, keeping travel costs reasonable, and by having coaches, who because of their love of the game and desire to teach, will work without expectation of extravagant fees. Teams will be formed at a young age and coaches will remain committed to building and developing through both failure and success.
