 FAQ’s

Who is this for?

Players ages 5-11, all experience levels welcome. We just ask players to have a desire to learn and grow within the game of soccer, and want to have fun doing it!

Should I register for the beginner/intermediate class or the advanced class?

If you’re not sure, please register for the beginner/intermediate class. If a player is excelling quickly and we determine they have the attitude + skill level to join the advanced class, we will move them accordingly. If you’re new here, I’d recommend doing an individual/small group session so we can assess your skill level and place you accordingly.

What sets us apart?

Our curriculum and our coaches.

We have a 9-week curriculum that is taught by professional coaches entirely focused on your player’s development. The priority is to teach these players high-level skills at a young age and then apply it during game-days.

Who will be coaching the clinics?

Christian + Carlos will be running the development clinics full force.

Will there be other coaches helping?

Yes! Local high school-aged players will be volunteering their time to help on clinics + game-days. We think it is highly valuable to have current players sharing their time and experience with our younger players.

Do I have to attend all clinics?

The best way for your player to develop is to participate in as many sessions as possible. However, we know everyone has a lot going on. Our curriculum builds upon itself, so if you miss a few, the player might be behind.

Our philosophy

Young players have a huge capacity to learn. We teach the basics, but we also teach high-level skills at a challenging, but attainable level. We believe that having good habits at an early age is important.

What does F3 stand for?

Footwork, Fundamentals, Finishing. Our 3 principles of player development.

Do you have anything more advanced?

F3 Soccer Training has 2 programs - development and elite. Our development program is structured to lead a player into the elite program and a more competitive environment. We want to see all of our development players someday in our elite program!!

Will I get a refund if my player quits?

Before the season begins, we will refund you 100%. Once the season starts, refunds will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
