The Fayetteville Force Future Force Pre-Youth Academy is a program within Fayetteville Soccer Club that is sanctioned by North Carolina Youth Soccer Association and it is ideal for the young player who is taking particular interest in the sport of soccer and appears to be ready for a higher level of training as well as increased expectations. This program is for players who fall into the 6U-10U age group.

Assessments:

This program is an Advanced Level program, focused on skill development and small sided play; it is ideal for young players who are looking to improve their game under the guidance of a licensed coach.  Players interested in the Future Force Pre-Academy Program must participate in an Academy Player Assessment.  This is not a "tryout" process resulting in a player being cut; rather, it is an opportunity for players, parents, and coaches to assess the suitability of the program to the player's stage of development and to determine if placement is suitable. After the Initial Assessments, we will send out "Acceptance Emails" into the Future Force Pre-Youth Academy Program.

Fees:

Assessment fee: Online $30.00

Registration Fee: $100.00

Players and their families are responsible for their own uniforms, travel costs and Lodging if necessary.

Games:
All players are recommended to register for our recreational soccer program for games and matches.  The Future Force Pre-Youth Academy is intended to be an additional developmental training resource for players 1x a week.  Depending on scheduling and partner clubs the Future Force Pre-YA teams may participate in 1 festival a season with a partner club (highly dependent on numbers and scheduling of partner clubs).

- Festival dates will be sent out at the beginning of each season, Fall and Spring, so you will have those dates for planning purposes.  Specific match times will be sent out 1-2 weeks prior to the Festival date as each Hosting Club has to manage all teams attending with coaching conflicts (as those arise).
 

Dates:

Fall Season: September – October           &         Spring Season: February – April

Coaches:

As we strive for personal growth out of our players, our paid coaching staff has an extremely unique opportunity for their own coaching development.  Our staff works directly with our affiliate club, Villarreal C.F. in Spain, to create age appropriate and challenging training sessions.  They have coaching meetings with Villarreal C.F. International Academy Directors as an individual and group, at least once a month.
