ELITE ACADEMY

The Elite division is for 11v11 teams. All teams in the Elite division will train 3 nights a week, play 6-8 tournaments . Elite division teams can expect out of state tournaments, plus State Cup or Presidents Cup. At U13 & U14 the focus is still largely on player development. This is achieved through small group training with a functional emphasis. U15-U19 The game becomes more tactical, practice is more game like. Results and team standings become more important, but the way our Elite division teams achieve these results doesn't change. Our coaching staff will stay true to the PRFC Technical plan and our teams will achieve success playing soccer the right way!
