Welcome to the new and improved FC Alliance Academy! 

The FC Alliance Academy, formerly known as the Elite Soccer League, is FC Alliance's advanced recreational youth soccer program for children between the grades kindergarten - 2nd grade. Our goal is to provide our recreational aged players a defined pathway to our competitive programs, offering an advanced level of recreational play, more time on the ball, and quality match play as they prepare for their first tryout for our competitive teams.

The Academy program offers players a nine week season featuring two weekly practices within a team environment, coaching from a trained professional working from the proven FC Alliance curriculum, and weekly league play against other academy level teams both within the club and against opponents from our participating partner clubs. All of this is delivered in a Players First (licensed in 2018) environment that continues to foster a love for the game while focusing on individual technical development and the fundamentals of team play.

Program Details:

• Training locations: Carl Cowan Park or Nicholas Ball Park
• Training days: Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays
