Sessions are led by Armando França Filho, founder and coach of FC Game Changer. His approach combines soccer-specific coaching, strength and athletic development, and player education. Players are taught not only what to do, but why it matters and how it connects to their performance in matches.

The program is designed for motivated high school and college soccer players. Players do not need to be elite, but they should be ready to learn, work, and respond to coaching. Before training, we collect information about each player’s age, experience, position, goals, and relevant injury considerations. This helps us understand how to challenge the player appropriately. If you are uncertain whether the program is the right fit, contact us before booking.

Each session is limited to a maximum of 10 players so coach can provide meaningful feedback and individual attention. Groups and activities are organized using factors such as age, playing experience, physical readiness, and developmental goals whenever possible. Exercises can also be progressed or adjusted within the same session so players receive an appropriate challenge.

Players should bring:

- Appropriate soccer footwear for the training surface
- Comfortable athletic clothing

- Any braces, inhalers, or personal medical items they normally require

- A positive attitude and willingness to be coached

Players should arrive approximately 10 minutes early so they are ready when the session begins. Any additional requirements will be included in the booking confirmation.

Parents and players must disclose current injuries, recent surgeries, medical restrictions, or ongoing rehabilitation during registration and speak with the coach before training begins. Exercises may be adjusted around minor, previously evaluated limitations when it is safe and appropriate. Players experiencing new pain, an acute injury, or medical restrictions may be asked to obtain clearance from a qualified healthcare professional before participating.

No training program can prevent every injury. Soccer includes contact, unpredictable situations, fatigue, and other factors that cannot be completely controlled. Our sessions develop strength, balance, coordination, deceleration, landing mechanics, mobility, and movement control. These qualities can help players become better prepared for the physical demands of soccer and may help reduce avoidable injury risk.

Strength training can be appropriate for young players when it is properly designed, supervised, and matched to the player’s experience and physical readiness. We prioritize movement quality, control, and correct technique before increasing resistance. Players are not asked to lift loads they cannot control, and exercises can be adjusted for their age and current ability.

Because each session has limited capacity, cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time to receive a session credit or transfer the booking to another available time. Late cancellations and missed sessions are not eligible for a credit because the reserved space may not be available to another player. If FC Game Changer cancels a session, families will receive a full session credit or the opportunity to reschedule.

Each training session is 90 minutes long and is limited to a maximum of 10 players. The small-group format creates a competitive environment while still allowing players to receive direct coaching and individual feedback.
