Elite Training Program (ETP)
Sept. 18 – Dec. 18
FC Tulsa is launching its Elite Training Program, giving U16-U19 boys a pathway to professional soccer and a chance to compete in the USL Academy Cup on March 14-17, 2024 in Tampa, Florida. Players with the potential to be offered an FC Tulsa Academy contract will be selected from the ETP, making the program the primary avenue for aspiring players to launch their careers.
The ETP begins with a two-part combine that will take place on September 18 and September 25. The combine will act as a tryout in which players will be scouted by professional scouts and members of the FC Tulsa coaching staff. There is no cost to register for the ETP.
Select players will then be invited to participate in an extended program that will meet on Mondays throughout the fall, split between two age groups, giving players the opportunity to receive weekly instruction from FC Tulsa coaches, demonstrate their abilities in front of pro and college scouts, and earn the opportunity to secure an FC Tulsa Academy contract. At the end of the ETP, one group will be invited to participate in the USL Academy Cup. The entirety of the program will take place at Titan Sports Complex. See below for additional ETP features.
