In 1991 a group of soccer enthusiasts
recognized the need for a soccer program to showcase and enhance players
opportunities to play in college. Since the formation of FC America
that year, we have helped our players earn over $2,786,810 in first
year scholarship dollars.
The foundation for our success has been two fold:
1) Dedication and commitment
to players by our coaching staff.
2) The College EDGE
program.
The EDGE program is a two part event.
The first half is an informal dinner for the parents and high
school players
of our club.
The evening is hosted by our Collegiate Director and the author of "The
College EDGE", Ron Zarbaugh and George Sasvari, Director of Player
Development. A noted high profile college coach will speak about the recruiting process and what to expect, followed by a question and answer session. In
addition, Ron and George cover "The College EDGE" detailing such subjects
as:
-
Choosing
the right college
-
The
difference between Academic and Athletic Scholarships
-
Setting
your goals
-
Year

-
Selecting
the right soccer camp
-

.....And
many more topics that will help you get the EDGE on the competition .

second part of the program consists of our new college edge
showcase, a two day tournament style event that will enable
players to showcase their talent in front of invited college
coaches. This portion is directed by Tom Traxler and
our Guest Coach, who will give our players a taste of a
typical college training session.
The
EDGE Program has been developed over a period of 19 years,
from real experiences. You will learn what works and what
doesn't. This program is not offered to players anywhere
else in Central Florida and is exclusive to FC America.
The best part is it's Free!
