Yellowknife Athletic Football Club (Y.A.F.C.)

Background

Team Established: October 2009
Nickname: The Fusion
Team Coaches: Andy Bevan and Joe Acorn
Team Manager: Wendy MacDonald
Team Numbers: 18 Female players born in 1994/95

Program Objective

To produce dedicated, motivated and technically gifted outdoor soccer players that can compete at a collegiate level upon graduation from high school.

The program will be delivered for four years with players staying with the team until age 18. YAFC is committed to a long term plan that will work with the same team members.

The team plans to attend two outdoor soccer tournaments per season and in 2012 plans to attend an international training camp in Europe.

Program Details

The team presently trains a total of four hours per week, moving to six hours once the outdoor season begins.  In addition to soccer specific training, the players have yoga once per week for conditioning and flexibility during the winter months.

A 95% non-excused attendance level must be maintained by all team members.

Players are required to arrive early and be ready for training on time, everytime.

Players have committed to be "soccer first" athletes. Other sports and recreational activities take a second place to team scheduling.
