Total 90 Will Become FC Tulsa Training Academy in the Coming Months
TULSA – FC Tulsa welcomes Total 90 Futbol Academy, a player-centered development academy, to the FC Tulsa family.
Alex McLaurin, founder of Total 90 Futbol Academy, will serve as the Program Director of the soon-to-launch FC Tulsa Training Academy. The FC Tulsa Training Academy will provide premier training and educational programs open to youth players of all skill levels, clubs and teams across the region.
The FC Tulsa Training Academy is designed to complement and enhance participants’ engagement with their regular clubs rather than function as a standalone team or club. Emphasizing training and development, the FC Tulsa Training Academy targets specific skills to foster continuous improvement. It serves as a valuable supplement, providing individuals with focused training opportunities beyond their usual club participation.
“FC Tulsa is excited to build upon the quality training programs Alex has developed with Total 90.” Ryan Craft said, joint owner of FC Tulsa alongside his brothers J.W. and Kyle. “Alex has tremendous passion for the game and brings a proven track record of successful programs for developing aspiring players. His holistic development philosophy is a game changer for players in our community and we believe his impact will be multiplied with the support of FC Tulsa,” Craft said.
“I am really excited to bring Total 90 Futbol Academy under the FC Tulsa umbrella. The main mission of creating Total 90 Futbol Academy was always to provide local players from various parts of the world the opportunity to train, develop, and grow in a professional setting with like-minded people,” Alex McLaurin said, Founder of Total 90 and now Program Director of Youth Training & Player Development at FC Tulsa, “I believe working with FC Tulsa will not only help fulfill this mission, but with the support of the entire organization we will be able to develop more programs and pathways that will enhance the player experience and create more opportunities for players to develop and fulfill their goals.”
