The PFC Development Program
Paradigm Futbol Club operates a no-cost, youth soccer program designed to identify potential early and develop it through professional training, mentorship, and meaningful opportunities. The program is built around two connected parts: the Paradigm Incubator and the Paradigm Academy.
Program Summary
Players begin their journey through open tryouts for the Paradigm Incubator, a free, one-year training program for young athletes who show potential. Players train together in a fun, curriculum-based environment focused on core technical skills.
At the end of the Incubator year, players are evaluated based on development, effort, and commitment. The top players advance into the Paradigm Academy, where they form a competitive travel soccer team. All other players continue their growth through placements on partner clubs and their respective travel or recreational programs, ensuring every participant has a positive next step.
Paradigm Incubator
The Incubator is the foundation of our program. It brings together approximately 24 motivated U8 (under 8 years old) players for a year of structured training at no cost to families. Sessions emphasize ball mastery, dribbling, and shooting, while maintaining a fun, game-centered environment that builds confidence and love for the sport. The Incubator serves as both an introduction to high-quality coaching and the primary talent pipeline for future Paradigm Academy teams.
Paradigm Academy
The Paradigm Academy is a fully funded travel soccer program for players selected through the Incubator program. Academy teams train under a written, curriculum-based development plan with clear learning objectives for each age group. In addition to elite soccer training, players participate in local leagues such as NCSL, receive academic mentorship and participate in community services, reinforcing personal growth and leadership alongside athletic development.
