Pflugerville FC Academy Program

Program Purpose

Pflugerville FC Academy provides a premier youth development program for 8U, 9U, and 10U players in the Pflugerville, Round Rock, Hutto, Manor and surrounding Austin areas. We also have our Junior Academy program for players 6U–7U. The program is designed for players who desire advanced training from the PFC professional staff. The Academy program emphasizes developing the complete player in all 4 pillars of the game including: technical, tactical, physical, and psychological. The PFC Academy program is a stepping stone into our Select program. All Academy players are expected to demonstrate focus, and a willingness to compete and develop, as they prepare for Select soccer which starts at 11U.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Our model recruit is a player that has more advanced skills, is coachable, and wants to play at a higher level.

WHO WILL WE TAKE?

Any player that exhibits at least two of the three qualities listed above.

Recreational Coaches: If you have players that are excelling…

…please reach out to the academy staff to observe play this season. Moving more advanced players from recreational to Academy benefits both divisions. If a player is too advanced for recreational play and dominates ball touches in games and practices, it takes away touches and development from less skilled players. Moving advanced players to Academy allows a natural balance of comparable skill levels, and allows player development at each level of play.
