Programs and age pathway

Teams are organized around the natural stages of player development. The 7v7 level serves U8–U10 boys and girls with emphasis on touches, dribbling, passing, receiving, movement, spacing, and basic team concepts in a format that rewards decision-making and creativity.

The 9v9 program covers U11–U12 players, building technical quality while introducing more advanced team structure, tactical reading, quick transitions, and competitive habits.

At 11v11, U13–U19 athletes integrate technique, tactics, physical effort, and mental discipline with position-specific work, team shape, game management, leadership, and preparation for higher levels of competition.

Philosophy, values, and club culture

The mission centers on forging competitive players, strong character, and real opportunity through discipline, development, and belonging. Core values include character, discipline, development, opportunity, belonging, and resilience—the club expects honesty, accountability, coachability, and respect on and off the field.

Every player is expected to grow in a competitive environment regardless of background or circumstance. The motto Bring the Heat reflects competing with purpose, courage, focus, and discipline rather than intensity alone.

Season fees and what families pay for

Club fees are quoted per season, with two seasons each year (fall and spring). Tiered pricing by format is $300 for 7v7 (U8–U10), $325 for 9v9 (U11–U12), and $375 for 11v11 (U13–U19). Season fees cover club season costs, league association player registration, additional club and team skills sessions, coach and staff compensation, field rental, and club administration.

Fees do not include uniforms (kit pricing described as coming soon), tournament fees, or travel expenses. Families facing financial hardship can contact the club about possible scholarship support.

Tryouts, registration, and communication

2026–27 tryouts are scheduled for May 21–22, 2026 at Joe Mack Campbell Park with sessions split by age and gender across Cavanaugh Field, First Horizon Field, First Security Field, and Tri-County Field; families should watch for updated time and field assignments as the club finalizes the grid.

Tryout registration runs through PlayMetrics—the same platform used for payments, scheduling, team communication, tournament details, and ongoing club updates. Downloading the app keeps families current on team and tryout information.
