F.A.Q

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?

Every new player starts with a free evaluation. Fill out the form on our Contact page, or comment EVAL on any of our Instagram posts, and Nicole will reach out to book a time.

What ages do you train?

We train players ages 5 and up. Our core group is 2014 to 2016 birth years, but every player is placed by ability and needs, not just age.

Where do you train?

We train in parks across Dallas–Fort Worth: Allen (Celebration Park), Grapevine (Dove Elementary and Rec Center), Grand Prairie (Mike Lewis) and Plano West (Old Shepard's Park).

What programs do you offer?

The FWL Academy, Homeschool Mornings, Small Group and Team training, Private training (FWL Five), Virtual training, Pods and Camps. See the Programs page for details on each.

How much does it cost?

The Academy is $250 a month plus a one-time $150 kit fee. Every other program costs less. No FWL program ever costs more than $250 a month. Full pricing is on the Programs page.

What is the Family Membership?

The Family Membership is $49 a month per family, with a 3-month minimum. It's required for all non-academy training, and it covers your whole family.

Is there a minimum commitment?

The Academy has a 6-month minimum. The Family Membership has a 3-month minimum. Real development takes consistent work over time, and these minimums protect that.

Can my child still play for a club?

Yes. Many of our players train with us alongside their club or school team. We focus on the individual technique that team practice often doesn't have time for. That said, our development process is built differently from the standard club system, and the two can pull a player in different directions. For the best results, we recommend fully committing to the FWL program.

What makes FWL different from club soccer?

At least 75% of every session is technical: ball mastery, first touch, both feet and game-realistic decisions. Small groups mean more touches, and players are judged on skill and understanding, not size or speed.

Who is the coach?

Coach Sean Gordon has 18 years of coaching experience and played professionally in France, Romania, Jamaica, Sweden, Malta and the US. Read more on the About Coach Sean page.

What does my child need to bring?

A ball, shin guards, water, cleats and flats (futsal shoes). Academy players receive their FWL kit with the kit fee. Private and small group players need to purchase a training shirt.
