Overview

The Intermediate program is designed to help 13U through 15U players improve their technical soccer skills which they will need to play at a higher level as well as their love for the game. This is a 4-month program that spans the fall season for girls and spring season for boys. Our coaching staff follows a curriculum that provides players with quality instruction and age appropriate activities which creates a fun learning environment. Players that excel in the Intermediate Program can progress to play on competitive teams within the HFC Competitive (Classic) framework.

A team-centered training and game system is utilized to create the best possible environment for player development.
