FA Soccer Star Certification

The FA (English Football Association) has announced a special program for children.  The program measures skills and speed in several categories.  AVID Soccer will be using the FA designed program of testing and training.  Participants that complete the program may qualify for an official certificate from the FA (to be mailed upon certification). 

The program consists of six individual tests.  Participants will have a pre-test, three weeks of training, homework and a final exam.  The results of the exam are sent to the FA and the scores will be returned later.

The certification consists of:

• Running with the ball
• Turning
• Speed
• Dribbling
• Heading
• Shooting

The program will be open to boys and girls U12-U16.  The cost for the four week session is $45 (plus $20 if the participant wants an England T-Shirt - only Adult sizes are available).  The session will be limited to the first 12 players wishing to participate.  Depending on demand, the program may be offered again at a later date.

NOTE:  The trainer has completed the FA program for this certification and the FA will store the results.  However, AVID Soccer does not have any other direct relationship with the FA.
