Ryan RichNational Capital Soccer League Executive Director

I like to learn from one of the greatest educators out there on this big planet. APFC helps me to improve a good understanding of your language, your model, and how you gonna educate and teach your children. And ultimately, understand how to collectively, how to attack, how to defend, how to train to your children make better decision on the field.

Cris GilmoreTechnical Director SoCal League

I like how APFC presents the individual concepts that can be translated into the Positional Games and transition into bigger concepts for the game and how the kids learn.

Jesse ServinLA Breakers Girls Director

I learned a lot about Positional Play from the fundamentals to the different concepts that are the foundations of Positional Play. I take courses from APFC and they are pioneer in how they teach the topic. Highly recommended.
