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.
The Initial Assessments will be hosted in February of each year, however, we will also host Supplemental Assessments.
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. Uniform information is given to you once you’re placed on a team.

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). During these "Festivals" the players will not attend the In-House League matches and play against other Youth Academy teams (two matches per Festival).
- 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 – November & 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.
