FCCA CHALLENGE PROGRAM

The FCCA Challenge Program is the step between the Academy and the Classic level of play in NCYSA.

The goal of the FCCA Challenge Program is to provide a continued foundation of technical and tactical soccer development in a positive and creative learning environment to prepare the player for the step into Classic soccer.

The Challenge program is offered for players between the ages of 10-12. This is the first program where FCCA exposes the children to results, official referees, and league tables.

All FCCA teams compete is the Charlotte Youth Soccer league (CAYSL), http://www.caysl.org/. The CAYSL is a league that is an extension of the North Carolina Youth Soccer Association (NCYSA). There are over 14 clubs throughout the Charlotte area who are associated with the league.

PHILOSOPHY:

The goal of the FCCA Challenge Program is to provide soccer development where a positive and creative learning environment is encouraged and created to prepare the player for the step into Classic soccer. It is only in this environment that young players can learn to love the game of soccer and develop positive habits and attitudes which provide the foundations for soccer excellence.

PRACTICES AND GAMES:

Players practice two times per week and are encouraged to participate in an extra Speed/Agility and Technique (SAT) class as an extra session. All practices and home games are held at Frank Liske Park, North Meck Park, Salisbury Community Park and FCCA affiliated venues.

All FCCA Challenge teams compete in the Charlotte Area Youth Soccer League (CAYSL). The CAYSL is a scheduling League that is an extension of the North Carolina Youth Soccer Association (NCYSA).
