WHAT COMES NEXT?
Your child has potential. Our programs are progressional and designed to maximize their potential through each phase...
Player Development Pathway
One of our core beliefs is that every child has great potential - and we can help them reach it. Our programs are designed like stepping stones. Each one plays a specific role in your child's "player development pathway." Feet First is the foundation of our pathway, and also serves as a great foundation no matter what sport they play in the future. Our focus is on individual growth which allows your child to develop from Feet First to Step Up Soccer Academy and continuing to F.C. Horizon.
The goal is to develop active, healthy people for life by jumpstarting their physical, social, emotional and soccer skills. If we can get the foundation right, your child can have a positive and enjoyable youth soccer career for as long as they want to play.
We know that not every child will play college or professional soccer. But, we want them to have a clear developmental pathway for as long as they are passionate about the game. We provide a soccer player development pathway that works for every child - not just the 1% who will play at the highest level. And, for our players who DO play at higher levels, we want them to be well-prepared to get there.
- Feet First
- Step Up Soccer Academy
- F.C. Horizon - Select and Premier

Don't settle for unorganized leagues
with negative team cultures.
The right ENVIRONMENT, COACHES & CURRICULUM will ensure a positive introduction to soccer, and create a foundation to help them reach their full potential.
You and your child can have an enjoyable and foundational first soccer experience!
