Foothills Next Level Training Program Brings World Class Training to Calgary
What is the “Next Level” Program?
The Next Level Program is a
premier training experience that takes aspiring athletes to new heights.
It’s modeled on proven global elite soccer academies, including those in the Premier League and top European clubs like Manchester City and Anderlecht, where athletes train intensively in high-performance environments that prioritize both physical and mental growth.
These academies are known for their rigorous schedules, where players dedicate an additional 12–14 hours each week to focused training sessions. This extra commitment allows athletes to refine their technical skills, sharpen their tactical understanding, and develop the resilience needed to thrive under competitive pressures.
By mirroring these principles, our Next Level Program provides a pathway for young players to experience the same level of elite preparation and performance, setting the stage for success at the highest levels of the game.
Reserved for U11-U17 players competing at the highest levels (APDL, Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3), this program caters to those driven to refine their game, embrace challenges, and unlock their full potential.
- This isn’t just another soccer program. It’s an opportunity to enter a world of elite development and unparalleled support.
- It’s not just about perfecting soccer skills; it’s about fostering well-rounded athletes.
Since its inception in 2022, the program has been a launchpad for numerous success stories. The program’s impact is undeniable, from players achieving promotions to higher levels to those earning coveted training and playing opportunities, including invitations to our Enhanced PDP and APDL teams and participating in national and international competitions. By fostering a growth mindset and a relentless work ethic, we’re helping athletes unlock their full potential.
What Sets the Next Level Program Apart?
- A Customized Training Curriculum. Every session is intentionally structured to maximize development. Players engage in a blend of technical drills, small-sided games, and real-game scenarios to replicate match conditions. Core skills like ball control, passing accuracy, finishing, and tactical positioning are refined under the expert guidance of CSA and UEFA-licensed coaches. These sessions are tailored to challenge players while addressing their individual needs.
- High-Tempo Training Environment. Participants train in an environment that demands focus, intensity, and collaboration. Groups are formed based on skill, age, and developmental stage, ensuring that sessions remain both challenging and rewarding. Training alongside like-minded, motivated peers creates a dynamic atmosphere where every player is pushed to improve while supporting the growth of their teammates.
- Development Beyond the Field. True success in soccer extends beyond technical and tactical skills. The Next Level Program places a strong emphasis on developing mental resilience, leadership qualities, and game intelligence. Players learn to navigate high-pressure situations, adapt to diverse playing styles, and make smart, strategic decisions. These life skills not only elevate their game but also shape them as confident and composed individuals off the field.
- Proven Pathway to Success. This program is more than just a training initiative; it’s a gateway to greater opportunities. Coaches actively scout for players who demonstrate readiness to advance within the Foothills pathway. Whether it’s earning a spot on a higher-tier team, competing in prestigious tournaments, or preparing for post-secondary scouting, the Next Level Program equips players with the tools and confidence to excel.
