FFPS believes in including all kids which is why we are a 100% inclusion program. After registering, parents of children with Special Needs are interviewed to ensure FFPS meets their needs (mental and/or physical challenges). After the interview, we place the child in the proper age group and may make other changes that help meet the child's needs to ensure the best soccer experience!
5-a-side soccer (5 players per side instead of 11 per side) allows everyone to get the ball many times which makes our soccer program more fun - and the kids learn faster. This soccer format comes from a South American version, Salon Football, meaning "soccer in a small area" developed in the early 1930's. Thirteen million play 5 aside in South America today!
All players rotate to each position and every player plays equally each game. We use a specially designed "Equal Substitution System" to guarantee this. Also, FFPS has no tryouts or all-star teams and all teams are balanced to optimize a Fun, Fair, Positive soccer experience.
