Our College Promise is based on being with the club for at least 4 years. The longer you are with us, the more we can help you be prepared for college (both on and off the field). If you are with us for at least 4 years, we promise that you will be in a position to play in a wide range of college programs and so your choices will be greater than had you not spent time with us at FCE.
There are two main ways we help you prepare:
College Showcases
Our high school aged teams play in multiple 'College Showcase' events during the season. Player 'exposure' via these events is often not what is portrayed via marketing (the most important part of recruiting is maintaining a solid highlight reel and connecting with coaches) but the Showcases are an opportunity for coaches to come and see you play. Please check with your Team Manager (or just check your schedule on Sports Engine which is updated 12 months in advance) to see which particular showcases your team will be entering.
Expert Advice
Our college recruitment specialist, Nic Heffernan, provides parents and players with information to help make the high school to college process easier and simpler. Nic has experience on both sides of the recruitment process and so his guidance is hugely beneficial for FCE players and families.
Individual Game Highlights
In addition to this, our teams use automatic game filming services (Trace Up) so that individual players get personalized highlights that can be used for college highlight reels.
Club Structure: Middle School thru High School to College
Our club is structured in a way that allows individual players to start playing with us (and being coached in a way that is proven to be hugely effective in terms of developing each individual player) from the age of 10 (middle school).
Our team age groups run through middle school and high school (our 8 teams span 8 years of school grades). The younger you start playing with us, the better prepared you will be if you want to play at the collegiate level.
8 years of growth and development with us (with decision making and game intelligence being absolutely key) will put you in a position to fit into pretty much any college soccer team or program.
