Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Who/What is FPA/FPA Premier?

Future Player Academy (FPA) is a youth soccer training company in Eastern PA comprised of former collegiate and semi-professional players.  FPA Premier was created for players looking to raise their level of play and progress away from their local soccer clubs into a more challenging regional premier team.  FPA Premier will be an 8 month commitment that provides advanced training by FPA and better competition than most travel clubs provide.

What is the FPA philosophy?

FPA wants to take committed players to a higher level by delivering a premier training and development experience with a local club feel.  The goal is to provide players and families a balanced experience.  We do this by striking the right combination of expectations, commitment, playing time, intensity, cost and fun.  FPA believes youth players can develop into exceptional soccer players without the extreme time commitment and high cost often associated with a premier team.

What is the MAPS league and why is FPA playing there?

MAPS very closely matches the FPA philosophy. The MAPS league was started to provide additional games as teams advance from local play into regional play. MAPS believes that quality soccer competition and player development always comes first. MAPS is intended for premier-team programs and is designed to provide the “right level” of competition for developing the full potential of serious players.
