Player development depends on quality training, quality competition, quality officiating and team commitment.

The Futbol League of East Tennessee was formed to to aid in player development by fostering an atmosphere that:

  1. Creates a festive environment--with most play date matches scheduled in clusters we can replicate a tournament atmosphere.  Each weekend will feel like a tournament event!
  2. Provides teams an appropriate level of competition.
    1. Teams are placed with other similar strength teams, not only placed by age and gender.
    2. Academy format for the developmental ages U9-U11 allows for less restrictive rosters so teams may match competition strength.
  3. Fosters coach development
    1. Having multiple matches at one location will allow coaches to interact and learn from one another.
    2. Club directors will have the opportunity to see their teams and staff in multiple matches and situations in one weekend.
  4. Offers referee Development
    1. Referee assessors will attend play dates during the fall season.
    2. New referees will be mentored.
