Eagleclaw Foundation

What it reported doing in 2024

The eagleclaw foundation operated two affiliated youth soccer programs under its umbrella, eagleclaw football club and valencia cf academy (seattle). Eagleclaw fc is the top youth soccer club in the greater puget sound region for real talent development. From the youngest ages, players are educated in a possession-based style known as positional play. This is why eagleclaw players are widely acknowledged to be the most technical and intelligent players on the field. Designed to be a comprehensive and holistic player development program, eagleclaw provides an educational and competitive pathway for players beginning from the grass roots to the highest levels of competition. Player development begins with our primary academy, a top quality development program for youth players ages 5-13. Each year these players will compete in the Washington premier league (wpl) and train with experienced coaches following a comprehensive technical and tactical training curriculum created by eagleclaw fc in collaboration with valencia cf. At the early ages of 5-13, eagleclaw fc focuses on providing the best learning environment where players are free to explore their passion for the game and learn in an environment that is focused more on individual player development over team development. A key objective of the primary academy is to prepare players for their eventual tryout for our advanced academy teams. The valencia c.f. Academy seattle is a high-performance soccer program designed to accelerate the development of players with the passion and potential to play soccer at the highest levels of the game. While we hope our players will make the jump to valencia cf in spain and play in la liga, we are confident our players will be prepared to excel at whatever level they ultimately reach. Following the philosophies and methodologies of valencia cf, the academy is focused on education as the key to unlocking real talent development. We educate people and develop footballers.
