The Hawthorn Woods Elite Soccer Club (U8 - U19) philosophy emphasizes discipline, hard work, integrity, responsibility and honesty as the fundamental building blocks to success in soccer and most importantly, in life. We also believe our High School players should enjoy their school experience including participation in their High School soccer teams. Accordingly, Hawthorn Woods Elite is not a year-round program for High School aged players. They train and play in their high school off-season, and return to their schools as team leaders with improved skills, tactics, confidence, and most of all, experience gained from high-caliber competition.  U8-U14 players have a Fall, Winter, and Spring season with 8 games for each with a tournament in the fall and spring.  Well-run elite soccer clubs can be magnets to college programs, and Hawthorn Woods Elite Soccer Club will be no exception. We will prepare players and their parents for their player's future and how to navigate their continued progress.  Over the years Coach Tom's players have been placed in college programs earning more than $1 million in scholarships thanks to their start at Hawthorn Woods Elite Soccer Club. 

Our Club believes in Family first, Education second, and Commitment to your teammates third.
