Tryouts for the rising 16U-19U girls will be conducted March 29-April 6, registration is open HERE.
All other age groups will be held in May, registration will open on April 1st.
Within the Junior Academy Program, we offer two levels of play: Juniors (8U-10U) and Academy (9U-12U).
The Juniors Program (8U-10U) stresses player development over results, and focuses on the development of individual skills, technique and basic game understanding in a training pool atmosphere. The program is recommended by US Soccer and the North Carolina Youth Soccer Association. Teams will be formed and will train in the Burlington, Danville, VA, Greensboro, High Point/Jamestown, Oak Ridge and Winston Salem regions. You will be able to select the location that is closest to your home.
The Academy Program (9U-12U)
is designed for players seeking the highest level of training, competition, coaching & development in the club. The 9U Greensboro and Winston Salem teams will train in their home location. Pool teams will be formed in the 10U-12U age groups from players living within the Triad and will train at a central location at Ivey Redman Park (Kernersville).

The NC Fusion Tekkers program is an excellent program designed for players in the 9U-14U age groups looking to develop and enhance their technical skills and abilities. In small groups of eight players, all sessions will be intense and fun with a focus on technical dribbling, passing, receiving and ball striking. Players will be challenged and pushed with 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, and 3 vs 3 games, ball mastery, and comfort on the ball.
If you want to add a third night of training to your weekly schedule, this is great supplemental option!
Training schedules will be finalized and communicated once we determine how many teams will be formed after tryouts.
Game dates will be provided by the program director at the start of each season and can be found on the team calendar in your PlayMetrics account. Finalized game times, played at any NC Fusion facility, will be updated in your team calendar at least 7 days prior to the game date.
Away game times will be provided as soon as received from the hosting club. Please be aware that we do not have control over the timing of the release of final game schedules when we are visiting another club.
Schedules are always subject to change due to last minute weather issues, coaching conflicts and opposing club decisions.
