FEES & FUNDING.
The Mission of Crossfire Premier is to promote the game of soccer by providing both boys and girls with the highest
possible level of technical and tactical training, athletic development and competitive team play, as well as offering those
highly-skilled and capable players with endless opportunity to further excel in the sport. It is Crossfire’s goal to become
recognized across the United States as the single most successful amateur (youth) soccer club, providing model
development for its players, both athletically and in their personal growth.

It is the vision of Crossfire Premier to provide an holistic youth development program for elite players, nurturing athletic
talent while fostering each individual’s personal growth and character development, fundamental pillars of the complete
Crossfire player. Crossfire Premier aims to field boys’ and girls’ teams that stand out even among the most successful in
America, not solely due to results but also made remarkable by the playing product our players put on display. Crossfire
expects to develop confident, mature players who will go on to play at higher levels, but who are also active, responsible
members of their communities. The vision of Crossfire Premier, in essence, is quality: to produce quality players; to play
quality soccer; to be quality in all that we do and all that we are as a club.
