In addition to our competitive youth teams, Pathfinder offers many opportunities for players of all ages and abilities. These programs are open to the public and do not require that the player is a member of Pathfinder. Players can remain in their current club or academy environment and take part in our summer camps, in-house training, supplemental training, international trips, college ID sessions, our residential college recruiting camp, and more.

Our SERVICES

FOOTBALL
Pathfinder Foundation is a recognized 501c3 non-profit organization providing a wide range of youth development opportunities, including our competitive youth football and futsal teams.
Pathfinder players train up to 5 days-a-week and compete in league and tournament play. At the highest level we compete in the USL & UPSL (4th tier USSF). Professional aspirations are met by a rigorous development model with professional support standards that include nutritional guidance, strength and conditioning, full-time physiotherapy support, internationally recognized coaches. We provide a year-round training model, international exposure and agency representation. Bottom line: our players seeking professional opportunities have the right tools and access.
Players in NY can join our program in Spain for up to three months during the winter. All players at Pathfinder, sign an agency agreement. Our agents initiate close relationships with the players, while actively promoting them to teams within the Spanish market.
Pathfinder supports collegiate bound players with over 200 years of combined experience in college recruitment, direct exposure through tournaments and ID camps. Our students stand out due to their executive function skills, GPAs, strength of curriculum and a unique worldly exposure. We host coaches for ID camps in December and July, and attend multiple fall showcase tournaments.

FUTSAL
Starting in 2023 Pathfinder will offer year-round futsal team training and competition. The program will be open to players playing football outside of Pathfinder, and the programing will be designed not to interfere with football practices during the spring and fall.
Futsal places a large emphasis on technical skill in high pressure situations which can be translated into the outdoor game. The sport is a great skill developer as it demands quick reflexes, fast thinking and pin-point passing.
Futsal is played in all the continents of the world by over 100 countries with 12 million players. Great soccer superstars such as Pele, Zico, Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka and Katia grew up playing the game and credit futsal with developing their skills.

INTERNATIONAL experience
Pathfinder FC members have the benefit of year round international experiences for your player. The goal of these programs are to introduce players and families to the culture of our sport beyond our boarders, and to develop our players beyond the sport, but through the sport.
The events are experiential, however depending on the level of the player and the desire of the family - genuine opportunities to live and play aboard can be offered! Finally, players develop by "getting out of their comfort zone" working with a different staff, and playing against different competition.
Our yearly programs include:
-
10-day Spring Tournament in Spain
-
21-day Summer Camp in Spain
-
10-day Fall Pro-Trial Experience in Spain
-
