XF Futures
The XF Futures is a free program for Under-7 and Under-8 boys and girls with the goal of the identification and development of future Crossfire Premier players,
XF Futures, brings an exciting and challenging blend of introductory skills training with weekly small-sided games, playing everything from 1v1 to 4v4 in each training session to ensure players have ample opportunity to explore a range of skills. We are keeping the number of participants to 30 per gender to ensure the most motivated players are selected, providing an ideal environment for players who hope to play for top Crossfire Premier teams in the future.
There will be two XF Futures seasons offered per year, with each consisting of 14 training sessions, held twice weekly at a location in Redmond, and staffed by professional Crossfire Premier coaches who are assisted by young ladies and men from the club’s Under-19 Elite Clubs National League teams.
The seasons will run as follows:
Summer— June and July
Fall— September and October
Each player will receive two XF Futures training t-shirts. Again, there is no cost to the program; all players will participate free of charge.
Players will be selected through a single-day player identification tryout. This tryout will be good for both XF Futures seasons: Summer and Fall. If a player opts out of a season during the year, his or her position will be offered to a player from the waitlist.

For players in this program or other young players looking for more opportunities to play, we also recommend the Lake Washington Youth Soccer Association recreational soccer program, the details of which can be found at www.lwysa.org. During periods of overlap, the XF Futures program is scheduled to avoid any potential conflicts with recreational soccer programming.
