ERIE FC begins with the Gunners program designed for players U5, U6, U7, U8. Our professional staff will provide age-appropriate technical instruction in a training environment featuring exciting games and skill activities. The program features weekly training sessions with a weekend game for the U6, U7, U8 age groups. ERIE FC Gunners is open to all players regardless of current skill level or previous playing experience. Players will be placed into proper training groups based on age, skill level, and soccer experience. Training focuses on the development of individual soccer skills, which is necessary for success once players move into the competitive team environment at U9 and beyond. The main program runs during the school year (August – May), and we offer an 8-week summer program as well.

Black Premier Teams & Red Teams
Premier players follow an intricately designed curriculum aimed to prepare them for advancement to the elite levels of play. This curriculum includes: building their soccer IQ’s, technical proficiency, mental and physical conditioning. Our Player Development Coaches are adept at keeping players motivated and maintaining healthy interactions with their teammates while maintaining the balance between productivity and enjoyment. The Premier program requires a yearly commitment and offers a higher time and financial commitment than other travel and non-travel programs.
ERIE FC Red is the first stage of “travel” club soccer. Travel is not as extensive and time consuming as “Premier” soccer, as it is typically limited and shorter distances of travel. The goal of ERIE FC Red is to provide an environment in which the level of competition, commitment, and player development falls between that of the recreation and premier levels. This program is geared towards the players that have played recreational soccer for some time – and want to “jump to the next level”, in order to prepare for grade school, middle school or high school soccer.

IN-HOUSE SKILL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
ERSC is designed for any player looking to increase their development, regardless of current skill level or previous playing experience. It is an individual skill development program that complements the soccer that kids play for school. No travel, but still compete in games against other teams of similar age/skill level. Experienced soccer coaches will help the players have a blast learning and improving technical and tactical soccer skills. Players will walk away more confident, equipped for their next right step, and ready for life’s challenges on and off the field.
