EAGLE FC U6-U9 FUTURES PROGRAM

Eagle FC Futures Program for Fall 2023

Future Players. Future Coaches. Future Referees.

The Eagle FC Futures program kicked off in 2020 and after three years of growth, Eagle FC is still leading the way with an innovative player development approach that combines several proven concepts for teaching the game to young players.  We have created a unique training environment that incorporates the USSF Play-Practice-Play model, an effective game structure from Horst Wein’s FUNino system, and elements of ball mastery learned from several top training programs such as Coerver Coaching.  Within this kid friendly and player centric environment, we have also incorporated a thoughtful progression from 3v3 to 7v7 that allows players to develop in age-appropriate stages.

The Fall 2023 Futures program will begin on August 28th at Hidden Creek Park.  The club has invested in equipment to provide a positive, fun, and quality training environment.  Our goal is to facilitate an enthusiastic environment that is conducive to learning for all players.

Below are a few program highlights:

  • An experienced, prepared, and cohesive coaching staff with a wealth of playing experience, coaching knowledge, and certifications/licensing will be leading the program.
  • Our coaches and volunteers have up-to-date clearances, background checks, and several staff are certified to use the AED device that is located onsite.
  • Training session structure and curriculum will be communicated. Volunteers assisting the staff will receive instruction and support while working in partnership with our staff coaches.
  • The program will have central messaging to parents for effective communication and efficient scheduling.
  • At U6, U7, and U8, players are grouped by ability during games to help build confidence and to provide an appropriate level of challenge. At U9, players are assigned to a team which will replicate competitive play.
  • Training and game play are progressive and encourage the development of technique, skills, decision making, and game intelligence utilizing a guided discovery approach.
  • The program is local, convenient, and affordable.

If you would like to be a Staff Coach, Volunteer Coach, or if you have questions regarding the program, please contact the Program Director, Andrew Otterson, via email at aotterson@eagle-fc.com

We are an inclusive program, and we believe diversity creates a rich and respectful soccer environment.   All players are welcome.   As noted below, our players have a pathway beginning at U6 through U9 and beyond.  Eagle FC will continue providing opportunities for players of varying backgrounds, abilities, and focus.
