After years of listening to comparisons between the United States and other countries' soccer programs, after watching a lot of young talent being wasted; sometimes because of the lack of options, education or just plain bad training, we decided that what our region was missing was futsal, this game and its technique is what other countries are using to develop their players. So Cadence SFC decided to start the 1st REAL SOCCER & FUTSAL Club in the region. We found the most amazing facility in Joliet, IL, built specifically for this purpose and we brought the BEST coach in the world - Zego to lead as Director of Coaching (DOC) for our futsal program. Our program is all based on Zego's methodology that has already developed many professional players all over the world like Ricardinho and Tiago Brito to name a few. DOC Zego is often called to make guest appearances to teach his methodology at FC Barcelona, InterMovistar, S.L. Benfica, Brazilian Clubs and many others.
With the merge of Cadence SFC and Wizard Oak Brook, Cadence SFC coaches will begin working with coaches from the Oak Brook location to help develop the same Zego futsal methodology training style that is used in the Joliet Zego Lab. Players from the Oak Brook location will also have opportunities to train futsal in Joliet winter months as well as the coaches from Joliet will also visit Oak Brook sessions.
WCOB believes in futsal as a tool for development of a player.
Our futsal program is named Cadence SFC. As a member of WCOB you will have access to the famous futsal training throughout the winter & summer months.

OUR METHODOLOGY
WCOB's program is based on a recognized and improved method for player development with Futsal base. Zego and his methodology is the base of all our program. The many years of experience, hard work, teamwork and methods of all our coaches and directors make WCOB F.C. one of the best and unique soccer/futsal programs in the country. Our co-founders have played professional Soccer and Futsal across South America and Europe. Therefore our methodology is a mixture of their diverse experience gathered from all of the clubs they have played for. Our methodology focuses on the 4 MAIN elements of the game: Psychological skills | Learning through guided drills helps develop game intelligence and smartness. Tactical | Guiding players' attention to all action and formations in the game. Physical | More dynamic games and drills with less tedious practices. Technical | Bringing players' attention to all skills and fun aspects of the game.
WCOB follows an educational model where players are placed individually into classes either by playing year, birth year or level of play. WCOB believes that players need stability and consistency. We practice, play and scrimmage year around, through the outdoor and indoor seasons only taking holiday pauses mirroring a school year. We will be instructing and playing REAL soccer & futsal. Because we believe that treating the young talent and training them just as a PROFESSIONAL player will give them a better understanding of their true talent and what to expect in the future if they were to pursue a career in Soccer or Futsal.
