PFC Technical
Plan

Phoenix FC is dedicated to fostering a comprehensive youth soccer development environment that aligns with the Long- Term Player Development Model (LTPDM). This plan emphasizes player agency, mental fitness, nutrition, athletic development, and social connection

Methodology +
Curriculum

Phoenix FC’s training methodology is built upon the Global- Analytical-Global (GAG) or Game-Activity-Game approach, prioritizing player autonomy, problem-solving, and experiential learning. This structured, yet flexible methodology aligns with modern coaching principles by emphasizing dynamic, game-based learning with minimal but purposeful coaching interventions.

Long Term
Player Development

Phoenix FC follows a LTPD model of athlete development that parallels what doctors and psychologists have long used to better understand human development: as a series of distinct stages, from infancy to adulthood.

Organizational
Player Pathway

Phoenix FC provides programming for all ages. It starts at U3, leads through grassroots and youth towards adult soccer and currently we are crea4ng partnerships to provide walking soccer for older men and women to stay involved in the sport.

We provide opportunities for grassroots and youth players from Tier 4 (recreational) to Tier 1, 2 and 3 (more and less competitive) and participate fully in opportunities created by EMSA (playing in their leagues) and ASA (Provincial championships for those who qualify).
