Grand Junction Fire FC

9/10 Boys and Girls Level Up Academy - Spring 2024

Welcome

Welcome to the Spring 2024 9/10 Level Up Academy with Fire FC!

9/10 Level Up Academy consists of two training sessions a week with our staff coaches. They will also have one training session a week with a volunteer staff coach selected by Fire FC. That volunteer coach will manage the team and attend training and games. The team will play in a local league we create called the Premier League. We take all the Level Up Academy boys and girls teams and put them in this league. We also look to add the top 1-3 teams from boys and girls divisions in our recreation league. This creates a more competitive league that allows us to play locally. Teams play approximately 8 games in league. Level Up Academy Teams will also play 1-2 tournaments per season that will be selected by Fire FC. Spring will be here in Grand Junction for the GMIT.

The training environment in Level Up will focus on individual technical skills and decision making to progress these young players in long term development. At trainings, Level Up Academy teams will go with a Fire FC staff as a team for that day and will focus on position specific decision making and skills. Level Up is designed to focus on individuals technical skills on the ball while progress player’s tactical decision making and positioning.

Players that would be a good fit for this program have to have a passion for the game and players who tend to excel in our recreation league.
