About
FIERCE United is a women-led youth soccer and futsal academy based in the Austin area that serves girls from early academy ages through high school and beyond, with a player pathway from Jr. Academy and Academy into Select, Elite, and National teams plus a summer Semi-Pro WPSL track for older athletes. The club emphasizes Total Football and positional play, year-round community, indoor futsal when weather interrupts outdoor sessions, and weekly strength-and-conditioning work with certified specialists—while integrating optional winter and summer training blocks at no extra charge for many competitive programs.
Programs and player pathways
Jr. Academy (U7–U8) is a pre-academy semester program focused on technique, possession, and positional foundations, training about twice per week in CAYSA Academy 5v5 formats. Academy (U9–U10) is the pre-select bridge with CAYSA Academy 7v7 play, two or more sessions weekly, and year-round training. Select (U11–U19) adds pattern play and Total Football concepts at two to three sessions per week in WDDOA and South Texas Classic League (SCL) competition. Elite (U11–U19) trains three times weekly in WDDOA, SCL, ECNL Regional League, and STX Classic League structures for players pursuing National placement or strong high-school-age performance. National (U13–U19) is the highest platform for proficient, self-driven players training three times weekly in SCL and ECNL RL with UIL-season awareness. Semi-Pro (U17–U21) is a summer WPSL pathway with two sessions per week from May through July.
Development culture and coaching
Staff leadership includes Executive Director Rachelle D'Amico, Director of Coaching Kamille Cervantes (USSF National B License, South Texas ODP staff), Elite Director Andy Russell (UEFA B License), and specialized goalkeeper and academy leads with collegiate playing backgrounds. The club frames development around six core values—Fearless, Intelligent, Enthusiastic, Respectful, Coachable, and Empowered—and maintains a roughly three-to-one female-to-male coaching staff ratio compared with typical clubs. Player Council input informs decisions, and the training model stresses well-rounded athletes who can thrive in multiple roles rather than early positional lock-in.
Training sites and futsal
Younger academy groups commonly train at McNeil High School (5720 McNeil Dr, Austin, TX). Select and Elite sample teams list Ranger Stadium in Cedar Park (200 S Vista Ridge Blvd, Cedar Park, TX 78613). National programming uses Bible Stadium in Leander (3303 S Bagdad Rd, Leander, TX 78641). Indoor futsal evaluations and sessions use Round Rock Sports Center (2400 Chisholm Trail Rd, Round Rock, TX 78681), where cleats are not permitted—players wear indoor shoes or tennis shoes. The club is advancing a dedicated FIERCE Futsal Facility capital campaign to expand year-round indoor capacity for players and the wider community.
