off in January to provide increased
player opportunities for skills enhancement.
How can I participate?
Players can be referred by their coach, by a DFAC Pro trainer, or any player who just enjoys soccer
and wants to enhance their skills can nominate themselves! All you need to do is email the
Club,

What is the Jr. Elite School of Excellence?
The Jr. Elite Program is an introduction to the Developmental /Competitive soccer program of
Desert Foothills Athletic Club (DFAC). It is designed for players who enjoy the sport of soccer
and are seeking an opportunity to take their skills and teamwork to a higher level.
Desert Elite Programs focus on the acquisition of skills, the importance of
sportsmanship and the power of teamwork – lessons for soccer and life!
The new program is divided in two parts:
Introductory Phase - This phase will consist of four one-hour training sessions
focusing on skill evaluation and enhancement while introducing young players to our professional
training staff. This phase will begin in January and there will be no charge to player.
Skills Enhancement Phase – This phase will be a total of six weeks and is designed
for players who decide to continue developing their skills and enjoy working with our Pro trainers.
This phase begins early in February and will cost $50 (includes Jr. Elite T-shirt).
How does a player join the Desert Elite program if they enjoyed the Jr. Elite School of
Excellence? In May, all Desert Elite teams begin the team selection process for players
U7 & up. At that point, players
in the Jr. Elite program will have the advantage of professional training
and be on their way.
