FC EUROPA is a Structured and monitored Multi National Player Development Training program that is designed to give all players the best opportunity to play in High School and College. The program is a disciplined year round commitment that will enable players, who regard soccer as their #1 sport, to have the opportunity to train and compete at a high level throughout the year. Although this does not necessarily mean that all of the FC EUROPA teams will initially be playing in the top Premier division in their respective league or tournaments, it does mean that they will have the opportunity to receive:
The most modern up-to-date Youth Training available
Appropriate Skill Level Competition in League and Tournament Play
Frequent Individual Player Evaluation and Monitoring
End of year Parent and Player Conferences
Based on the team's ability and individual skill level, we do not expect players to play below or above
their skill level, but do expect them to play at the highest level possible and to be dedicated to improvement,
and achieving the required standard that will be necessary to play in High School and College.
If I make an FC EUROPA team can I play other sports?
Absolutely, we do not discourage players from playing other sports but do ask that they are completely fair in the division of
their time when a conflict arises. Like any sport or activity, the more you put in the more you get out.
FC EUROPA staff will certainly work with both the player and parents to ensure that they are able to play other sports, but must
emphasis that FC EUROPA fully expects players to attend state cup games, major tournaments and games and events that will
continue to develop your child and team.
How many tournaments will I play in per year for FC EUROPA?
You can anticipate playing in 5-12 tournaments per year that will vary from staying away for the weekend, to tournaments
that are accessible via on the day travel. Please note that stay away tournaments will also incur hotel cost, etc.
Inevitably the older the teams, the further they travel.
It is important that teams participate in numerous tournaments through the year to acquire National ranking points that
will not only enhance the team's reputation and easier access to future tournaments, but make the FC EUROPA brand nationally recognizable.
Train to perform:
FC EUROPA is a program dedicated to making sure that players are trained and prepared when going into tournaments and
key games and events. This could incur additional or extended training sessions so players are fully prepared physically
as well as mentally prepared.
