Welcome to Huntsville Futbol Club
             
 



CollegeFor more than twenty-five years, Huntsville Futbol Club and its predecessors have focused their energy on the development of youth soccer players in North Alabama.  Many of the state’s very best soccer players - past, current, and future - learned the fundamentals of the game under the skillful instruction of their Strikers, Kicks, and Samba coaches.  As we approach the beginning of our third decade, HFC will complement its technical training programs with a new effort aimed at furthering the playing careers of our most passionate and talented athletes.

 

Beginning with the 2010 season, the club will offer COLLEGE PREP, a comprehensive program of services for college-bound athletes.  The goal of COLLEGE PREP is simple: help our most passionate players find the right fit among the hundreds of college soccer opportunities available, then prepare those players to earn a spot on a college roster. 

 

The program will be led by our new HFC Director of College Recruiting, Stacy Franklin.  Stacy is uniquely qualified.  As a Division 1 college soccer player, she has experienced the recruiting process first hand from the athlete’s perspective.  Stacy can also draw upon her experience and relationships with current college coaches to guide our HFC prospects and their families from the perspective of a coach. 

 

Stacy is currently developing a handbook that will be the club’s guide to college recruiting.  The HFC College Handbook will contain all of the information, guidance, to-do lists, and timelines that a prospective college athlete and their family will need as they begin their journey from dream to the reality of playing in college.  Every recruiting experience is different and not all situations can be addressed in the handbook.  So for those unique or personal situations, Stacy can be the prospect’s most valuable resource.College Soccer Field

 

The centerpiece of the program is the HFC College Combine, planned for early December.  During this weekend event, participants will be trained in small group sessions led by approximately ten college soccer coaches from throughout the Southeast.  Players will also participate in scrimmages, allowing them to further showcase their abilities under the watch of the participating coaches. 

 

Educational seminars will be provided during the Combine Weekend and at other times throughout the year.  These important seminars will provide information to college prospects and their families about a variety of issues critical to a prospective college athlete.  Each seminar will be led by a coach or counselor with expertise on the subject.

 

COLLEGE PREP is an optional service of the club, made available to interested high school-aged players.  The annual participation fee of $150 for HFC club members ($250 for non-club members) provides all of the COLLEGE PREP services for the club year.
