About

MFA encourages the development of skills, player communication, match IQ, finishing, dribbling, football details including movement into space, receiving, innovation in possession, creative play and teamwork. We have U9-U-11 teams + Metro U-21 team. Each 10 month academy season is considered a project in both player and team development. We achieve this with up to three weekly sessions, including two high quality on field sessions + one unique session that will turn on its head what players interpret as football conditioning. Each week concludes with a competitive weekend match.

Instagram post 2290132943725026825_15021258736 This year, during Spring in East Van, it is going to feel what life would have been like if there was no Micro Footie. 
Why?

World Cup Micro Footie 2020 was meant to start today for the 27th year in a row in what for many is an East Van Spring tradition. Almost 1600 players: over 116 teams, including a women and mens. 200+ volunteer coaches, + over 20 paid part-time staff. A fantastic community event with magic spirit playing the best team sport.

We are going to miss seeing all the players-young and older-kicking the ball around, wearing their World Cup Jerseys, having fun, scoring goals, hanging out in the sun every weekend and weekday night and meeting new friends. Hope everyone stays healthy and we meet again in 2021.

Go for goal!

Instagram post 2259771377737673947_15021258736 Last night was MFA's last regular season game in the @vmslsoccer U-21. Our first game of season we lost 5-1 and I was thinking uh-oh. Improving all the time our last game played last night against a team we drew 3-3 in October. We won 9-0 playing pretty lovely football. (like to call it risky football) MFA had the youngest team in the league ( the @whitecapsfcyouth or @pacificfootballclub needs to have a look) scoring what I imagine will be the most goals out of all the teams + our #9 Pierce is currently leading the title for the golden boot. Overall a superb effort from the team (and with the right results beyond our control)  hopefully we will qualify for the Provincials.  Need to thank @jorgito_lp for creating the idea and helping out brilliantly, @sash_terhoch for his amazing warm ups where the team did not get one muscle injury during season, @callumirving1 for his positioning training with our goalkeepers, @ben.mckendry for coming out weekly to our sessions and giving our young players guidance, @trainlikeanathlete.ca for making our players physically soar,
@mf13_siralex for his admin support, @club.inter.edc for providing our young players opportunities to play with the Div 1 and train with the premier players/ really superb by everyone. Every bit helps.  Here's one of my fav clips from the season with @tick_mariz13 taking a couple players on. Fingers crossed our season will continue so we can do more of this. Go for goal/ vamos.
