Transylvania Youth Soccer Association

The efc academy program is a level of training and play beyond recreational soccer designed to help players improve their technical soccer skills which they will need to play at a higher level, as well as their love for the game. Our academy teams practice locally, but play most games in nearby regional desinations including asheville, nc, greenville, sc and similar locations. Efc develops academy teams at the u10 and u12 age groups for both boys and girls. Our academy program represents an intermediate step between "recreational" soccer and "classic" (travel) soccer. There were 140 academy players for the 2024-2025 year.

Classic soccer is the name given to travel soccer in north carolina and is played amongst other teams in north carolina in a league administered by the north carolina youth soccer association. Efc envisions our future academy teams progressing to play classic soccer at the u13 age groups and older ages. There were 115 classic players for the 2024-2025 year.
