Competitive Elite Program
2026-2027 Season
BRAZAS FC COMPETITIVE PROGRAM
The Brazas Futebol Club Competitive Elite Program aims to teach and develop the basic concepts of soccer to young children who are beginning to engage with the game. Develop the players by teaching the fundamental skills and strategies at the appropriate age level. Capitalize on each player’s talent and potential by exposing them to basic concepts of soccer. This will be conducted by qualified staff and a specialized curriculum for recreational soccer. It is also the goal of this program to expand players’ and parents’ knowledge of the rules of the game, giving them the opportunity to learn to play soccer while enjoying it fully. We offer these programs year-round, so check back frequently for up-to-date information on new sessions.
The Brazas Futebol Club Competitive Elite Program is also well located to serve families in cities throughout the Phoenix area, including Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Ahwatukee, and Guadalupe.
Program Goals:
- Training under highly skilled and experienced Professional Coaching Staff
- Brazas FC teams will practice together on the same field to promote club unity and to allow our Academy and Competitive teams to scrimmage each other. Coaches can encourage our players to take more challenges, which can increase our chances for individual player development
- Coaches’ strategy and training to emphasize the number of touches on the ball, game-wise, accurate passing, and overall teamwork. It is not uncommon for coaches to occasionally move players between teams at practice or to invite players for extra tournaments to contribute to player exposure and increase individual skills development
- All Teams are registered at ASA Advanced Leagues, National League, State Cup, Open League & International summer programs
- Brazas F.C. International Program provides our players with the opportunity to be exposed internationally, meet players from other countries, and have the amazing experience of competing overseas. Usually, international trips are planned early in the season for the following summer, giving us time to prepare all aspects. Here are some of the countries Brazas Teams has visited to play tournaments and events in South America and Europe: Spain, Sweden, Denmark, France, Finland, and Brazil.
Program Structure Training:
- Our proposal for the first season is to hold 2 outdoor sessions and 1 indoor Futsal training day for all teams at the gym. We will provide the Brazilian skills Camps and physical conditioning sessions for U11’s & older
- In addition to our Elite training, in prep for the main State competition, we will provide specific groups/individual training by sectors, roles, and responsibilities in the game (i.e., goalkeepers, the defensive zone, the midfield zone, and the offensive zone), appropriate by age groups and levels
- Speed/agility/core training under the guidance of a Physical Training Coach
