History

The Windsor Wheels was granted its National Soccer League franchise in 1985 with the aim of promoting soccer at the highest possible level in Canada.

After eight successful seasons the Windsor Wheels took a step forward to the Canadian National Soccer League, and made every effort to pursue these objectives.

Other than wining the Canadian Championship in 1987, the Windsor wheels have taken part in many tournaments and international matches, both in Windsor and elsewhere. Wheels have among other, hosted: Argentina Juniors, Team Canada, Palermo of Italy, Red Star Belgrade of Yugoslavia, Italian under 20 Nationals, etc.

The Wheels have traveled as far as Europe (Junior Wheels) to take part in International Tournaments. In 1990 Wheels played a friendly match against F.C.Karpaty of Lviv, Ukraine.

COACHING STAFF FOR 2011

 

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Player Conduct
The Windsor Wheels Soccer Club has a long and respected history at both the local and provincial soccer levels and the club expects its players to represent themselves, their parents, their teammates, their coach and the club with dignity and good sportsmanship.

Player conduct falls into four categories:

1. Conduct Towards Teammates
A true team player will learn to respect and appreciate the abilities and talents of his teammates and will support his teammates, especially during a game. Different players have different skill levels, different personalities and very often these differences can lead to conflict between teammates, especially on a competitive team where the desire to win and succeed is high. But this is wasted energy. As teammates you have a common set of goals and your time and energy is better spent finding ways to achieve these goals together. It is okay to make your opinions known on certain situations and the play of your teammates - this is what leaders do. But true leaders are also prepared to be unselfish and help their teammates by working to find solutions to problems while being respectful of your teammates.

2. Conduct Towards Opponents
Players should always try to demonstrate class and superior sportsmanship when dealing with opposing teams. We understand that this is not always easy. Many times the other team's players or coach or even parents on the sidelines can be abusive. Sometimes play can be dirty at high levels. But there are ways to still play tough, stay within the rules and show that you have the better character. Also show sportsmanship when opponents are injured during the game. The proper thing is to kick the ball out of bounds to stop play and let the player get attention.

3. Conduct Towards the Referee
A player needs to show respect for referees and linesmen at all times during the game and after. They are human and they make mistakes. There are great referees, there are okay referees and there are lousy referees. But in 99% of all games played the game is not won or lost because of the referee. The league has reported that verbal abuse of referees by players is increasing every year and that actual physical assault of referees by players has occurred in the past season. This will not be tolerated. No player except the captain and assistant captains shall be allowed to speak to the referee during the game. Besides, swearing at the referee never accomplishes anything and usually only makes the referee more unreasonable and hostile towards the team and the player. Consider the referee and what he or she does as just part of the game, like the way the wind carries the ball or the ball bounces on bumpy ground. Make your adjustments and go about your business and forget about the referee.

4. Conduct Towards the Coach
Your coach is a volunteer. He donates his time and often his own money to coach. He does this because he loves soccer, he loves to teach soccer and he loves the competition. The rewards for coaching can be great, seeing young men grow and learn and become masters of the sport. Your coach enjoys being a part of this period of the player's life and takes pride in the player's performances. The players should respect this. Respect his time by attending practices, coming to games and practices on time and paying attention to his instructions. Respect his knowledge of the game by trying to understand that the coach has your best interests and the best interests of the team at heart and sometimes it is difficult for the coach to balance the two.

Any player who displays poor conduct in any one or more of the areas talked about is asking for dismissal from the team and the club, no matter how talented he is.
