The FC Faly Program is Faly Academy’s high performance program designed for serious football players wanting a full time developmental approach.
This full-time program offers the next level of training for any serious player wanting to be a “soccer first” athlete. We believe the learning process begins with our players being fully motivated and determined to learn and progress. These qualities eventually will lead to attaining new improved specific skills. The ultimate benefit then, is that the player will not only attain greater individual confidence with their game play but most importantly, improved self-esteem.
The FC Faly Program is the highest level of training and development in our academy. Any player can request an evaluation session to join the FC Faly Program during team practices throughout the entire season. Parents and players must understand that decisions can take time and the selection process is very fluid as academy coaches are constantly evaluating all academy players. In other words, no matter what development level a player may be, the coaches are always watching to see if a player is ready to join the FC Faly Program.
Following an evaluation, the Technical Director has full discretion to offer the player the opportunity to join the FC Faly Program.
There is a range of skill and potential within this program. Our coaches realize this variation of potential so they work with each player to develop a long-term development plan with a clear vision of what lies ahead in their training. The coaches also meet with each FC Faly Program’s player and their parents throughout the year to discuss their progress, and set goals– goal setting. Achieving those targets are great measurement tools to track each player’s progress.
Goalies will receive training that will provide them with unique skill development in terms of practice, learning, mentality and relationship with teammates.
Training sessions are held at a combination of Empire Fields at Hastings Park and Collingwood Secondary School throughout the season.
