[quote=Anonymous]FPYC 07G Blue & Gold Flames teams are looking to add some players as they make the jump from 7v7 to 9v9 next year.    Fees are around $1500 range when everything is included.  Practices are 3x week Fall and Spring, 2x week summer and winter.    The teams play in the NCSL and also do a winter futsal session.

For those truly looking to put development over results at this age, this would be a good fit.  They have a highly qualified and experienced head coach in Paul Hicks (D license and Nat Youth License), and also use 2 professional trainers, Fabien Lewis and Ben Kamara (each leads 1 practice per week, the coach runs the other practice as well as the games). 
 They are dedicated to teaching a possession style (building from the back, usually playing short on goal kicks, etc...) while also encouraging use the of skill and creativity along with good decision-making.  The coach focuses on developing a competitive mentality in the long term, without getting himself too caught up in the short term results.
