ELITE PROSPECTS (11U+)
As part of our affiliation with the Indiana Fire Pro Academy, advanced players on our 11U-19U teams will have the opportunity to take part in various IFA Elite Prospect programs.
These opportunities are unique to IFA Network Clubs and help provide a clear pathway to the highest levels of play.
WINTER ID CAMP
Each winter, our 11U-12U teams will participate in local ID Camps. IFA Pro Academy staff will bring up players from their top teams to play with our players. The camp serves as an introduction to the ID process for players and families and gives the staff an early look at players within IFA North.
IFA PRO ACADEMY
For our 13U and older players, the Elite Prospect Program sets the stage for participation with the IFA Pro Academy teams in the top youth platforms in the country (MLS-Next for boys, ECNL National for girls), as well as secondary platforms (National Academy League for boys and Elite 64 for girls).
ELITE PROSPECTS CAMP
Every summer, an IFA Elite Prospects Camp will take place at Grand Park. Within every IFA Network club, the top players from each age group (11U–16U) will be selected to participate in the camp. The camp will provide an environment for like players to train, compete, and be identified for additional opportunities within the IFA Network.
ELITE PROSPECTS SHOWCASE
Select participants of the Elite Prospects Camp will be chosen to participate on the IFA Elite Prospects Team for their age group. The Elite Prospects Team will take part in one or more showcase events.
In November 2023, the IFA Elite Prospects Teams participated in the Visit Raleigh Jr. Showcase Series in Raleigh, NC.
INDY ELEVEN PRE-SEASON TRAINING CAMP
Every July, select players from IFA North may be invited to join the Indy Eleven Pro Academy teams for their pre-season camp. The camp provides a unique opportunity for our players to train with the best for an extended period of time.
