Policies · FTBL Academy · East Pasadena

Written down, and the same for everyone.

Make-ups, freezes, billing and what happens when a season starts somewhere else. Told at enrollment, repeated at thirty days, and kept here so nobody is surprised.

Plans and billing

Billed monthly

Standard $225, Accelerated $275, Introductory $150, Academy Teams $250. Semi-private $200 once a week, $400 twice. Private $75 a session.

Quarterly: 5% off

A quarter is any three-month period

Annual: pay eleven months, train twelve

August to July. Offered on Standard, Accelerated and Academy Teams. Not on Introductory.

Rates from October 1, 2026

Families enrolled before then keep their rate through January 2027.

Prepaid and leaving early

Unused whole months are refunded at the monthly rate.

Academy Teams

A full-season commitment, billed monthly. League, referee and field fees, game kit and training kit included. No tryout fee, no initiation fee, no team fees mid-season.

Missed a session

Message us before it starts

That earns a make-up. No message, no make-up. It’s the one rule that makes the rest fair.

Use it that month

Any other training day. Foundation One at 5:00, Foundation Two at 6:15, Saturday at 10:00 for Foundation One.

Unused make-ups carry over

Into the next term, up to eight.

Away for a while

Two weeks or more: a freeze

Not make-ups. Your term is extended by the time away, up to eight weeks a year. Tell us before you go.

Injury or illness

A freeze, from the day you tell us.

A season starts somewhere else

Keep training. The season is when training matters most, and most FTBL players keep their Saturday or club team all year. If the schedule clashes, move your session days before you cancel. We’ll find the two that fit.

Changing or ending a plan

Moving up

Introductory to Standard, Standard to Accelerated: any time, from the next billing date. We’ll recommend Standard at your thirty-day conversation and tell you why.

Moving down

Same, from the next billing date. Talk to us first; a freeze or a session move is often the better answer.

Cancelling

No cancellation fee. You’re welcome back whenever you like, at the rate in effect then.

On the field

Arrive ten minutes early

Sessions start on the minute. Every player has a ball at their feet from the moment they step on the grass.

Bring

Cleats, shin guards under socks, water.

Weather

Excessive rain or excessive heat will warrant a canceled session and notified through Spond by 3pm.

Photos and video

We film sessions to coach from and, with your written permission, to show what training looks like. No child’s face is published without a media release.

Text is best, but we answer everything.
