Our Program
Football Factory Athletic Club offers a competitive, team-based program for boys in age groups U8-U15, with teams of different skill levels in each age bracket. Players try out annually and are placed on the appropriate team.Â
Football Factory Athletic Club teams currently participate in the Northern Counties Soccer Association (NCSA). Our teams also play in at least two tournaments each year (U8 excluded).Â
Our goal is to provide players with an environment in which they can improve their soccer skills, develop a love of the game, and most importantly, have fun. Â
The program covers all areas of player development. Our training method builds technical skills, tactical skills, physical fitness, and has a strong focus on individual progress. All coaching is age specific and designed to provide the necessary learning at the right time of a player's individual development. Â
Our mission is to promote participation in the sport of soccer through programs that encourage learning and enjoyment. We are committed to fielding competitive teams, helping players constantly improve their soccer skills, and promoting good sportsmanship. Â
Tryout Procedure
Football Factory Athletic Club holds player tryouts each spring. Players interested in playing with us must tryout. Players are evaluated in a number of areas, including athletic ability, speed and coordination, soccer aptitude, field awareness, and attitude. Â
Players are offered spots on a team according to their ability. Players will remain on that team for the complete Fall-Winter-Spring soccer season.Â
Trying out does not guarantee placement on a team, but the club always tries to find spots for as many qualified players as possible. Â
Offers are emailed soon after tryouts. We ask the parents/players to accept or decline the position within 48 hours. Â
Once a position is accepted and paid, registration fees cannot be refunded. Â

Team Expectations
Dual Carding: The Football Factory Athletic Club team must be a player's primary soccer club commitment. While we allow our players to play for another team (hold a "dual card") or play a second sport, we firmly believe that a team's success depends on the commitment of all its players. We expect our players to attend every scheduled practice and game. Players missing practices or games due to a conflict with another team or sport may have their playing time reduced. Excessive absences may lead to removal from the team. Â
Financial Commitment: Refunds of team fees are not available once the season begins. We also offer no discounts for missed practices or games.Â
