Our mission
America FC believes in developing players to their best soccer potential by focusing on ball mastery, mental resilience, and tactical intelligence. America FC takes pride in focusing on how to teach our players how to play the game properly. Our teams compete in the New England Club Soccer League (NECSL) where we strive to provide ample game time and opportunities for development on and off the pitch.
Our Philosophy
Starting with our Junior Academy (U7s - U8s) we focus first on making sure our athletes are having fun, then on training and development. League play begins at the U9 age level and training continues for the next few seasons (U9, U10, U11, U12) where proper skill mastery development is critical. Of course, our players want to win games, and they will, but for now, it's about building touch on the ball, so they can hold on to the ball.
At the U13 and U14 level, athletes go to the full-size field and the match requires 11v11. With the larger field, there is more space to move, more space to pass, and many new opportunities to learn this game. At this developmental level, our coaches work on tactical intelligence, mental resilience and how to play quicker. Focus is as much individually as it is collectively as a unit and understanding what each role on the pitch requires. At this level, we demand high elite level play.
Once our teams get to U15 (U15, U16, U17, U18, U19) many of our athletes have become interested in playing high school and at America FC, our focus is helping our players understand expectations at the next level and how to become mentally resilient for what is to come. Playing time is not equal at this level and coaches have different coaching styles that players need to assimilate to. Especially when considering playing in college. As training continues our outlook starts to shift not only in league play but also regarding tournament participation. This is where we compete against the best clubs to showcase talent for college scouts to take notice of our players. It's an exciting time and many of our teams once they are at this level, have developed extensively.
